Farewell

Hi Everyone

Just wanted to send one last email before we set off on our passage to India. DoraMac is ready as she can be and Randal and I, almost ready. We certainly have done all we can to prepare ourselves, and as you saw from the previous email, we certainly won’t starve. I have watched all week as Randal has tackled all of the jobs on his list to insure we’ll have no problems along the way. But if something should arise, I have confidence that we can deal with it. Randal can just about take every system apart and put it back together again. Hopefully that won’t happen and it will be a calm voyage.

I’ll miss the contact from all of you. Even though we’re half way around the world, it doesn’t seem so far because of email. But we won’t have that along the way. Our cell phone Internet service is limited to Malaysia and we won’t be stopping at any marinas along the way to use their wifi. We have limited sailmail so you can check our website for short postings. When we get to India we should have access again, but perhaps not where we are berthed so may have to rely on Internet Cafes. It’s going to be a very short baseball season for me. Maybe by May I’ll be able to follow the Sox on a daily basis. Until then I’ll just have to wish and wonder.

Ready at the starting line.

So Happy New Year to all of you. Save your thoughts and email me when we’re settled.
