month of june, and we are still in miami!!!!!! hurricane season is well on its way and we have not finished the boat.... we originally planned to leave south florida around march and cruise for a couple of months the exumas without having to worry about not having wind, which is really the scary part of sailing during the hurricane season, plus the occasional storm that forms from time to time of course, but as happens with every project, there are delays, and this was not the exception. instead on leaving on march 15, we committed to ourselves to leave on the 30 of march, and after that date was not reached, we again set a date of april 15, and after we were not ready by then, the new departure date was at the end of april... and so on........... lets just we say we said good bye to everyone more than once. but finally the time was approaching. at the end it was not so much boat projects but actually organizing. we closed esteban's house, then we sold the apartment, then we sold galatea and both cars, we moved twice in less than 10 months and we had all the stuff form esteban's work repairing boats that we needed to put on board or sell, give away or send to colombia. all this sorting took a while and the rain in miami for the last weeks before departing made this task very complicated as we laid everything out in the dock to organize in boxes. we are really grateful to eddy senior and junior and bob and everyone at austral marina who had sooo much patience with us and put up with our mess before departing, so thank you immensely to all!
