Time to Leave

Well I thought I'd try this blog thing out before I take off on my trip.   For those of you who don't know, I'm heading out this coming Wednesday (sept 8) on a sailing trip from Chicago to the US Virgin Islands.  It should take 2-3 months if all goes well.  I posted a schedule on the main page.  The boat owner posted an ad online a couple of months ago and, for lack of a better plan, I jumped at the opportunity.    I'm pretty excited though  :)   The two guys I'm sailing with are both retired so I'll be the young guy onboard.     Anyways, I've been packing over the last few weeks so I thought I'd snap a shot of some of my gear.  Notice the stack of books and yes I even brought yarn to perfect my crocheting skills (I'll have a lot of time to kill).


We'll be stopping in ports every night for the beginning of the trip so I'll try to post at least once a week if I can.  Should be a fun trip!
