Back from the Island

We just returned from another practice sail out to Catalina and received to green light to move forward from our honorary guest. Our Dad (not a sailor, but a fisherman) critiqued the outstanding safety issues and caught a few small kelp bass in the process. Notably, these were the first fish by rod and reel caught on the Broken Compass. It was a beautiful weekend on the island, and we spent time walking around the gift shops, looking for fish, and cleaning the bottom of the boat (which was long overdue).

Getting back, we sold Chad's truck last night. Since the Kawasaki ninja decided on it's own accord to take a breather, we are down to the Jeep. With less than one month before we depart, we are leaning our mainland toys and beefing up on supplies. We now have 55 cans of chili on the boat... everyone at the grocery store gives you weird looks when you have a cart full of one item.

The spreadsheet of "action items" is calling my name, so till next time...
