We're off!

Well it has been a long time coming but we are finally on our way, ready to start The Great Loop, usually about 6,000 miles and taking about one year (although we are breaking it up).  All kinds of last minute things are now taken care of, at least the most important ones, said our good-byes to family (and yes they were tearful) and we are casting off. 

You'd never know by looking at the v-berth that we were ready to go!

The boat, a 2003 Rosborough, ready to go, all systems working and polished inside and out.

The captain, ready for the challenge of the loop!

The crew, Cathy and Rory, ready to help but not take orders!  O.K. maybe the little one will take orders.
