Retired 2 weeks

Well it's over 2 weeks and as you would expect we are deep into preparations of Moosetracks for our impending departure. We finally finished the teak toe rails and they look really nice, not much to photograph but nice to look at. We have also had numerous sewing projects including a bike bag for Liz, life raft cover and cockpit enclosure. So here are some pictures....

The Bike in bag










Then of course we needed a bag for the new bike Devin got for retirement from Jabil, we found a really good price online so bought it instead. Here it is...

 Then we had lots of projects to complete like; fitting a wind vane, a lightening arrester, a masthead LED tricolor/anchor light, a high water alarm in the bilge and second bilge pump. Then it was time to recommission the water maker... and moving all our stores because we worry about water leaks on electronics. Here is the result.... piles of boxes...
Lots to organize

So since we we have worked non-stop for over 2 weeks it's time to take a break. We are heading out to test our gear on Moosetracks over Thanksgiving for 5 days...wooppee!

Happy Thanksgiving to all.

Liz Retires too


Well the crew is all complete, now we have a full time Admiral to join the Captain!

Liz had a wonderful surprise send off from all the girls at Shapes Gym and will miss all her wonderful friends. Here are a few photos of the group.
Liz also had some lovely gifts from Greenhills and she will miss all her work friends as well. So it was we had a big gift opening session on Moosetracks. Thank you everyone for the wonderful gifts!
We will try to blog often so that our friends can follow our journey and stay in touch. We will miss you all!

Fair Winds and Calm Seas.
