But, please do tell me when you depart. You and I may cross paths soon. Yes, let Brian do the plumbing and bilge work. Its usually pretty gross. Save the interesting projects for your "To Do" list! Its nice when you can share the work. I almost decided to winter in Charleston, but continued south instead. I left my folding bike in the bottom of the river, though. If you see it, let me know!

I am hoping to keep a sketchbook during our travels and post them occasionally. As far as Illusion is concerned, we are putting the mast back in tomorrow and hopefully putting the engine (it runs!) back in on Friday morning. Then it will feel more like a sailboat! Brian still has some plumbing and bilge work to take care of before we can put her back in the water though. And we will <em>still</em> be leaving with plenty of other half-finished projects. :) The boat yard has been a great learning experience. I've enjoyed reading about your sailing life, as well. It's great to read about other women sailors. Link away (you can see I've already linked to yours). Teresa -

I enjoyed looking at "Laura Neece Art" webpage. Where are you currently located? On this, I disagree completely: "we will leave when the boat is ready. And when the boat is ready, we will be ready. We should be truly prepared to tackle most of the potential problems that we could face during the trip." Your boat is probably more ready than you think. What projects can be done underway? My boat, and every cruiser's boat, is a constant work in progress. I've lived aboard for two years and still need to install a proper head, build the dinghy, and make the storm-tri...amongst many other things on my neverending "To-Do" list. Leave when you are ready emotionally, and that will happen when you can think of nothing else all day long. Save the details for the journey. And by the way, no sailor can truly prepare for anything Poseidon can cast your way. Thats impossible. You are lucky to have a sailing mate. Just having that prepares you even more. I can't wait to read about your sailing adventures. Love the blog! Teresa Your art is very beautiful. I enjoyed looking at “Laura Neece Art” webpage. Where are you currently located?

Well said. I know what you mean... it's weird (and kind of sad) to live in a place you know you are leaving soon. But glad that you are making the most of your last days there!!! :) Amen! Well said.
