Today we are packing, and unpacking, and packing again to try to fit the "necessary "  items in 2 bags and a carry on each. It's amazing how many "necessary" items we decide we can live without. When we pick up Sunluver in Tortola, we will have to completely re-outfit her with dishes, linens, towels, pots/pans, kitchen utencils, etc. in addition to our personal items, scuba gear, clothes, shampoo, sunscreen, bugspray, books, charts, etc, etc, etc.  We can purchase items there but we'll bring as much as we can.  We couldn't be more excited!

And so it begins.... tying up loose ends on land so we can take to the sea. Our 44' Lagoon catamaran sailing vessel awaits our arrival on June 4, 2009. Bob has been feverishly working to chart our course and weaving in the time slots with family and friends who will join us on our first 2 month voyage from Tortola to Key West. The first guests we hope to see on Sunluver are Anne and Steve from Fine Line who have been cruising for over 2 years now. Sounds like a fountain of knowlege to me!!!!
