On my way!
Well folks I leave tomorrow for Bocas Del Toro, Panama.
The car and motor boat have been put to bed, the house is ready for next season's hurricanes, and the shop has been swept clean for another project on my return. Many of you were curious about the boat. Attached is a bad picture, but it's the only one I have. In this picture it has spent the summer alone in Panama and has tarps, a dingy, and stores tied everywhere. I'll send better ones later.
The next steps are to get some things done on the boat and then head for the Panama Canal which is a two day sail from Bocas. I'll keep everyone posted when I can.

Looks like you have a bit of work ahead of you before you can push off...keep us postd as to your progress!

Captain Ron -
I'm not sure I believe all this stuff about the trip and Panama. All of this information can be faked theses days! I want proof you are sailing the Pacific!
Two words of advice; watchout for the smokers (waterworld) and make sure they boil the shark needles before you get a new tattoo!

Mike, glad to hear things are progressing well. At some point I would love to hear the real account of Carnival....Fair winds, Keith
So happy you made it to the Galapagos...keeping my fingers crossed for the next leg! Love you,Mom..
Mike, by the time you read this you will have made it to the Marquesas so congratulations on your journey so far! Did you know that it is a Naval tradition to have a proper "ceremony" when someone crosses the equater for the first time? Have your shipmates e-mail if they would like any creative ideas...Hope you are well,
Keith
ARE YOU SEA SICK YET? I WOULD BE. ODIN WOULD BE THE RIGHT BOAAT FOR A TRIP LIKE THIS. IM GOING ON THE KEY LARGO RACE APR 22. MY LAST RACE. WISH YOU WERE HERE. WHEN YOU GET TO THEM ISLANDS MAYBE I'LL COME OVER AND SEE ALL THOSE GOOD LOOKING GIRLS. HAVE A GOOD TRIP BE SAFE. NO OVERBOARD DRILLS.
Lings,
OK, I have been reading your blog religiously and I have yet to see a picture of you on this great adventure. Are you faking this Pacific ocean crosing and actually working at some bar in Key West for 6 months???

My aren't we fussy! Here I sit after a full day of Saturday office work, house chores (ya know... cutting the grass, fixing and repairing things) and your upset because the generator makes too much noise and a little floating stinging thing nearly got your thingy.
I guess the good news is we now have it on record that you have learned how to cook and certainly can clean!
Glad the 3,800 miles went whale.. looking forward to the next entry Captain Ahab
