I can’t remember when I was as happy as I was today. All it took was a little boat to put on the big boat and Wala. I’m like a kid with a brand new toy train for Christmas. Actually, now that I have it, I hope that I don’t have to use it. I envision the dinghy running around the delta with Joseph and Alexa at the helm. It’s the perfect size for kids to tool around andI go fishing.

I just got back from Walmart getting the provisions for our 3 day run down the sea of Cortez. Weather looks just perfect and I’m ready to roll. It’s about 325 miles and we average about 100 miles a day, the 3 day estimate should be fine. It’s also.a great shakedown run for the next one. I will be able to accurately calculate fuel usage, which will tell us if the the 180 gallons of diesel will.be enough, so we don’t have to.stop along the way..
