Shakedown: Check
List of s#%* to do: Check
Now begin the REAL preparations for the REAL deal. Yikes! With the Shakedown under our belt, we’re convinced this really is what we want to do, at least for now. We have no plans beyond Mexico (but we hope to be there at least two solid seasons), so we are focused on preparing for warmer, potentially buggier, climes. That is, we’re loading up on board shorts, bikinis, and surf boards; identifying clothes we plan to give away once we land in Mex; and having some screens for the hatches made, among other things. Boat projects are breathing down our necks, but we’re on it! See following posts to get an idea of what’s going on aboard Free Luff.
