I wanted to start my trip home April 1st, What A Fool I turned out to be. My good friend Arturo AKA Art DeJohn or the Rookie or the Chick Magnet, offered to come down and crew for me. I told him I was sure I would be in the water and ready to go April 21st or 22nd, so Art flew(actually he car, trained, flew and bussed) to get here.

I actually did get in the water on the 22nd, but was far from ready to go. There were just too many things to be done before making the voyage. Thanks to Arturo, Footloose is primed and ready to go. There is still one problem, no new dinghy. It supposed to get here( you guessed it) manana. Art had originally allocated about a month to assist me and it became apparent that wasn’t going to happen, so Art returned to work. He actually did the reverse, he bussed, flew, trained, then Ubered home. I can’t thank him enough for the work he did getting Footloose ready.

Let’s see what manana has in store for us.
