I have just left the dock in Coal Harbour to begin the delivery to Victoria. The last week has been even busier than the previous months of prep. Moving food onto the boat. Final equipment setup and stowage of all the spares etc.
The boat is about as ready as it will get (once we pack the fresh foods in Victoria) and has lowered down closer and closer to the waterline with every trip down to the boat.
The whole trip is really starting to hit home. It is way different talking about sailing to Maui for two years than actually untying and leaving. There have been many people that have helped get Turnagain ready for this trip including (but not limited to) Catharine – my VERY supportive wife, the team at First Yachts (Brad and Adam mostly, but the rest of the team supporting them), the Turnagain team with a TON of hours from Darin, and the crew at Xprt who have taken a lot of work off of my plate to allow me to focus on this prep, and a lot of support from David and Gaylean Sutcliffe with the VicMaui committee.
We will be in Victoria early Monday am and I hope to have at least once daily updates to this blog from now until Maui and then again on the return.
