One huge hurdle is behind us!

Today we shipped a huge box of stuff over to the marina in Brunswick, GA where Quest is moored. In theory, it should arrive the day before we get there, or at least by the day after we get there. (I just hope it DOES get there!)

The box is full of equipment and supplies for the boat, 104 lbs of supplies to be exact. I can’t even remember what all was in it, we’ve been making ‘the pile’ for weeks. Let’s see,… there was a barbeque, a drill, a circular saw, a socket set, some snorkel equipment, a wet suit, 2 sets of foul-weather gear, some emergency flares, a first aid kit, and sewing kit, a set of pots and pans, a hammock, some dock lines, a bunch of cd’s and dvd’s, a couple of books, 3 flashlights, two pair of sailing gloves, and a partridge in a pear tree...

It’s a huge load off our minds to have that box on its way to Georgia. I can’t believe we are only a week away from being there ourselves. It just doesn’t seem real yet.

Well I hope the partridge in the pear tree is quieter than Grace!

Ummmmm, if you look again, and listen, that IS a PARROT IN YOUR PEAR TREE.
Now just WHERE are you going to put the tree on that boat? !!!!
