Well we are back from the Astoria Crab and Wine Fest and have 5 days to finish getting packed up. Our schedule is short. We plan to start in Astoria to Neah Bay, then Port Angeles, San Juan Islands, then Sidney B.C. From here we will head north. No schedule, just some places to see. The plan right now is make the Broughtons, reevaluate our condition, if favorable further north to Skagway Alaska.
We have hired Omni Marine Weather (Omni Bob) Home - www.oceanmarinenav.com to help us on the first leg of the trip from Astoria to Neah Bay. This is more of a precaution and at the Admiral's insistence as it makes her feel safer. We will go on weather standby starting May 1st.
We have a SPOT and AIS, so my friends at TF can follow. I will post here when I can. Look in my signature for the ASD blog link. AIS is a little spotty on the north coast of Washington and even worse the further north we go. Most of you know how to view our SPOT and Live ship. If you don't know, then ask and someone on TF will explain.

For now we are looking at our preparations list and there is very little left to do. 5-days and counting. Took 3 years to get here and now I am all nervous.....and excited.
