One week to go

Cecile and I will be heading to the boat in a week. We will start the trip, just the two of us, by sailing up to Beaufort. I spent the weekend doing quite a few boat projects to get ready.

The above picture was taken Saturday as I paused to enjoy the sunset from working on projects that had me in the cockpit lockers all day.

This is what the cockpit looked like, at the nearly the same time. It is amazing how my feelings of being ready, or not, matched the mess around me.

However, the boat is ready to go. I still have a few things I would like to do, but they can be done anytime, anywhere, or not?
