Every so often it becomes a little hared to breath, my mind starts racing in circles and I don't know if I can do this. Where will we put these clothes, food, tools, spares? CAN I DO THIS? I'm not 22 anymore, this is crazy, storms, dragging anchors, days at sea . . . MY FAMILY! I'LL MISS MY FAMILY!
Deep breath, step onto Quiet Moon. It seems when I am near my beautiful boat, there is a peace, a happiness. I know it is a little idealistic, and we will have tough days, but she inspires calmness and confidence in me. Another option is to go back in my mind to sitting in the cockpit of Western Grace sailing along off the coast of California. AHHHH my own form of meditation!

More work
Bought material for weather cloths. I hope to put our boat name on them so while we are underway people can identify us. Fine tuning the wind catcher for the front hatch. Repairing the bad caulk on our teak decks, and washing and applying Penofin to the brightwork. (all the pretty wood on the boat for you landlubbers).
The weather has helped me going in the mornings; you don't want to be scrubbing woodwork in the 100+ degree heat.
Marcus is getting pretty good a caulking the decks, we found a good product and he has done enough of the work to get really good at it.
Exciting news! Western Grace leaves Canada at the end of the month and will be in San Francisco in 2 weeks on there way to Mexico. We are looking forward to visiting with John and Joanne. If you are interested in serious sailing, or just hanging around Mexico, for the trip of a lifetime, go to http://www.westerngrace.ca/ We highly recommend John and Joanne, whether you want to learn more about sailing, improve/test your skills, snorkel in beautiful secluded coves, and so much more. They have expanded their route to include not only Mexico but Hawaii and Tahiti as well.
OK back to work!!
