Getting ready to move

June 1 2013

Greetings,

I got back to Bocas about a week ago. The trip to FL was productive. I worked, spent time with friends and family (Mom, my sister, nieces and nephew drove down for the last weekend I was there), and, as always on these trips, picked up a bunch more stuff for the boat.

Now we are getting ready to leave Bocas to head for Colon and the beginning of our Canal transit adventure. Today we took Second Star to Almirante to fuel up. We spent most of yesterday scrubbing the bottom and polishing the props. We’re going to take three days, going in tandem with our friend Sharon aboard Ko Komo Kat, to get to Colon. We stop on the way to fish and dive and we’ll anchor over night. So it should be an easy and fun passage. We’ll be sending out SPOT tracking while underway so if you want to follow the trip click on the “Where is Second Star” link to the right of the blog page. We’re planning on leaving Monday morning at about 0730 or 0800 CDT, and we’ll be getting into Colon sometime Wednesday afternoon.

There’s more getting ready to do so, with a promise to post more soon, I’ll get back to work…
