Today's challenge was to pack the back of the car with all the gear and boat bits we have collected over the summer. Good thing that Alan has an incredible spatial knack for finding just the right item to fill a an empty spot.
GEAR! Can you find 2 anchors, new laminate and a sink for the galley, alternators, fuses, hoses, wet suits, stainless shackles, and a thousand other bits in this picture?
I am sure it will take us a few weeks once we arrive in Mexico to find it all again.
We did notice as we were piling the gear in the garage that one of the car tires looked rather flat....and sure enough a trip to the tire repair shop was the first errand.
By the end of the day SUCCESS! The kayaks are on the roof (and have only a few items stashed inside!) and the inside is full.
We leave at O Dark Hundred tomorrow for Long Beach where we are picking up a Viking Life Raft. Then we head towards Tucson. Our goal is to cross into Mexico on Wednesday am.
We are very eager to be our way -- it is 4 months tomorrow that we retired and we are ready for the next adventure.
