Hi - Marilyn here (I was asked to identify myself) ...

We're still "on the hard" - awaiting masting (hopefully today), and then launching (hopefully tomorrow). Everything works at its own speed here ... a lesson in patience! The car needs to be returned tomorrow, so for now we're using it to provision, etc.

The weather has turned sunny and gorgeous - can't wait to be on the water! Might make a quick visit to the beautiful near-by beach today, in between doing laundry, shopping and so on. Not much exciting to report right now. Happy holiday preparations, all.
