It's Time to Get Serious Now!

All of a sudden October 27th and Going Sailing seems really, really close! Our trip has always seemed like something off in the distance, but now it's becoming very real!

It's not like we haven't been preparing for it, the plans and to-do lists have been created and checked off consistently. New lists and new checks each month. I think because we're now working on the 'What Must Be Done Before We Go List' the minimal amount of time we have remaining has suddenly become really clear!

We have done a lot of preparation in quite a few different areas - first and foremost financially, building our sailing skills, mental preparation (the physical will happen when we get on the boat!), communications (of which this blog is a part of). We've spent quite a bit of time working on how to create a gourmet lifestyle on a shoestring budget (which has been very interesting, but I think we are there!).

Today I started packing. My to-do list is 4 pages long (single spaced, double sided). I'm going to be really busy between now and October 27th!
