Gathering Momentum...

New Zealand Navy, Greek freighter with stranded island trader in the back!! Apia, Samoa

Funny how priorities get tweaked as you move along. Today we were going to get going but after a few seconds of discussion it was clear that neither of us REALLY wanted to leave this awesome internet connection after just one day!!!

We are in this great place in Sutherlin, Oregon that used to be an Drive-in Movie Theater!!! They still play movies every few nights for the residents... free popcorn included!! You dial the stereo into a station and get the sound on your FM radio. It is clear to me that we will stop here for longer next year on our way to Portland / Vancouver. Too much fun.

Today it's drizzling as if we might need more water. That aside, we also needed to do a few things on the trailer (like try to get the left tail light to work). Anyway, it is a different life here and we are still anxious to get back to the boat.

Moving Again

Off Niuetoputapu

Just a short missive about our being on the move again. We are only a few miles south of Portland at this point because we wanted to stop and visit Sandy's daughters family. Mission accomplished. We did find this great RV park with awesome interenet and we are happily catching up on several things.

We have been so busy finding all that Stuff we need for this coming seasons happenings. We have a new windlass that has been described as boat jewelry. It certainly does shimmer and glitter in the sunlight!!! So, there are boat projects in my future. We have also been trying to line up the schedule for all the folks that have said they wanted to come for a visit while we are in Mexico!!! Whew, no shortage of visitors!!

It is just a lazy trip down the middle of I-5 while we soak up a little coolness to hold us on those warm days to come in Mexico.
