Monday July 15th and I leave in two days to work on Cachalot and get her ready for the trip south.  The house down here in New Bern is getting put together.  We are better than 1/2 unpacked and running out of room to put stuff.  When I get back from my great adventure with my friends Jeff and Rich on Cachalot I have lots of projects to keep me busy.  I am looking at putting upper kitchen cabinets along the walls of the garage.
First to have an adventure.  I have been making lots of calls to finalize plans for moving the boat and emails to the crew about planning the provisioning for the trip.  Northeast rigging has put all the new rigging on the boat ready to ship with the mast on deck.  I have made arrangements with the sail maker to have the sails ready to pickup this week.  I talked to the mechanic about the engine and he is running it up to be ready for the trip.  I have done just about all I can from down here and can not wait to get to the boat to finish preparations.
