Two Homes

The two-weeks-until-departure countdown starts today We have stuff sitting around the house that is going to the boat and stuff on the boat that must come back to the house. So much stuff!
There will be many differences between this and our previous voyage, the biggest being auto-helm. That is a device that uses a compass to talk to our, telling it what course to steer. We could also plug in a GPS co-ordinate and it would head the boat there. It will be like having a third crew member, I am very excited.
Another difference will be our diet. Since meeting Erika Wolff ( www.powerofraw.com ), we have tried some of the recipes on her website and liked them quite a bit. We don't have enough electricity on board to power a dehydrator, but everything else is do-able. The first thing I learned is not to over-power the delicate sprouts with zingy dressings, but to keep it mellow. I'll keep you posted on my further attempts.
If any of you have some advice on how I can put a visible track on this blog, please let me know, as I would like to let you all know exactly where we are, where we're going, etc.

Well! Needless to say, we're doing it again! This is the press release, the first word out. If you are one of our employers, please don't bo terribly alarmed, we won't leave until Sept. 1!
Having done this once before, we feel we are a little more prepared for even better trip. The biggerst difference between then and now is that we will be taking crew with us to help handle the longer passages. A few friends have stepped forward, but we have need for at least one more to join us on the Picton-Cape Breton (Straights of Canso) leg, if you're having a good time, we'll head to Bermuda and beyond.
