Whatever floats your boat...

Hard to believe, but the boat goes in the water at noon today. Bottom is faired and epoxied; bottom paint by 0800, then we have a whole six hours or so to load and stow five (six?) truckloads of gear. Straits Marine are A-one, and many thanks to Ocean Rigging for expediting their work on the mast. We'll try to get some photos posted before we leave, but after the race start, we don't have the bandwidth to upload photos on the sat phone. We'll be able to post some photos when we get to Maui. After a bite of dinner tonight, it's off to Victoria, where we hope to arrive about 0200. Most importantly, we'll be in Victoria in time for the dock party! Alo-ha!
