Getting ready for The Ocean

it's amazing how much there is to do to get ready for a trip this big! I keep driving around thinking how much I'll miss my routines but then I remind myself we're coming back! It's weird, I'm starting to appreciate things before I am even living without them. Like long hot showers at the gym, the gym, running to the grocery store to pick up fresh vegetables, fast internet.
I ordered the sat phone a couple of days ago! we will have e mail but it will be short and sweet!
I discovered GRIB files and boy are they fun! It's free weather data, and the one I am using is on www.grib.us. Really cool stuff to show you wind speed and direction where ever and whenever you ask it. It shows you the conditions now, and then 3 hours from now and more. I checked out Cape Horn this morning. It was only blowing 12 knots! But it was blowing 59 closer to Antartica.
The grib files are so cool looking , I may have to incorporate some of them into some art someday.

This is another test run for my new blog about our upcoming trip!! If the photo worked, it's our boat "Tenacity".

This is a test run for my blog! Robert and I leave for our big sail this May / June. I want to get a headstart and see if this blog will work to keep you posted on the trip's progress!

This is Randall the squirrel that was orphaned. I raised him since he was nursing and now he lives in the trees at Alsopp Marine!
