Here we sit, Newport Beach. We've been working on the boat getting her ready for Mexico, and getting ourselves ready for Mexico. Some of you have ask why we are waiting to head south, well, truth be told, we are collecting our thoughts. The last 6 years have been so full of work that we just want to enjoy ourselves. The effort to get down here with just the two of us, was a little more than we thought it would be, so a little break and rest is doing us good. The preparations on Reisender are moving ahead, but it was time to enjoy the "fruits of our labor" so to speak. The days are spent reading, grocery shopping, taking walks, and getting little projects done. The biggest adventure I have in Newport is getting the water tank filled (not as easy as it sounds).
Well, last weekend was a treat. Our friends, Nancy & Sam, came for a visit. We last saw them in Portland the day their boat took off in August of 2010. We helped them cast off and their adventure has been such motivation for us. It was a real treat and I think after talking to them last weekend about the year and a half they've had, Scott and I are starting to get antsy again. Reisender will be on the move again soon and we all are getting excited. We've ordered a few items that should be here within the week, then watch out San Diego here we come!
Well, I don't really have much to say on this one, but we are rested and preparing. We'll probably be here a couple more weeks...
