Welcome!

Thanks for checking out this blog!

Remember the poem about the Owl and the Pussycat who went to sea “in a beautiful pea green boat?”  Our boat is white, but we plan to “sail away for a year and a day,” just as they did.  At this point we’re still hoping to set sail in January, so we’re busy getting the boat ready, closing out our shoreside lives, and packing to go. You should find a button at the bottom of the sidebar at right that allows you to enter your email to subscribe–this means, I think, that you’ll be notified when we do start posting.

For now, a few of the drifts of gear filling our house:

The yellow bag contains a sea anchor for stormy situations, the orange bag is filled with flares to be used to signal for help, and the Nutella at the far left of this picture should cover most other situations.
A few items for our first aid kit.
Where will we keep all the books?

 

 

 

 

More soon!
