Getting Ready

May 8, 2015
Tempe, AZ
I finally feel like we are almost ready to go! It is a good thing, because we are in Tempe,AZ, visiting our Son, wife and grandkids. In a few days we head for Michigan, where we will visit our Sisters and Go to my HS 50 yr reunion. I couldn't be doing this if it weren't for the help of my crew Randy Reed, who has been a tremendous help, also Cathy Pratt, DaveyO and Pat H. When I return in a week, there will be a few minor things to deal with, plus provisioning. Ho'onanea is fueled up and loaded up with all the cruising supplies. The water is lapping over the waterline! My brother, Fred, who will be sailing down with Randy and I will be arriving on the 26th. We'll finish a few more projects, primarily provisioning, a few sails to review storm sails, etc., and we hope to leave on the 31st! Aloha!
