Recent times and recent plans.


Let us start with this. The first week of Sept. Kristin and I set sail on the Allymar (Ingrid 38) to Cabos San Lucas Baja. We are beyond excited and daily remind each other with surprise of what we are about to embark on. We will be sailing on the Allymar, with the skipper and owner of the boat Ken Gosling. We met Ken through Lattitude 38 (www.latitude38.com). We are excited to spend a couple months out at sea, sail the Baja Ha Ha, and sail beyond Baja as well. Ken is a kindered spirit to our own with quite a few more adventures (but not too different adventures) under his belt. We are excited to set sail with such an experienced individual who seems ready and willing to teach us. Our plan is to stay away for as long as our money will allow. Which means we will be in South America for 6-8 months!

As you can tell we are excited for our adventures but we are also feeling the pain of leaving dear friends and family in French Gulch behind. It tore our hearts in two to leave the Kielichs. We already miss Forest, Mila, Michael, and Lisa. They were truly like our family for the past year. Also all of our other friends. Mikee, Jake, Kelly, YT, Eric, the Wrights, and many more.


Not to mention the fishing.
