We have found a dinghy we are happy with and Al spent a lot of time getting design ideas and quotes for the arch and davits and has now finalized details to have it built and installed.
My house has been rented and we worked on a few projects last weekend to get it ready. I was busy every night packing my personal belongings and cleaning up in preparation for the tenants to move in.
Packing for this trip was a challenge; trying to figure out what to take that travels well and will do for both the cold and warm weather we will experience. Room aboard is limited so travelling light is key; however eventually I did manage to find room for the necessities.

Paperwork related to the trip is done - and boat registration sent in - fingers crossed that enough documentation was provided and that the registration is approved before we leave.
