We'll be going back to Florida Tuesday. We've had a really great time gettting to see everyone back home!

When we get back, we'll spend a week or so getting Zephia ready for some serious traveling. We bought a new liferaft (got a six person one, so we are ready for company), a new chart plotter with all the coatal and Bahama's charts, the Explorer Chartbooks and our son surprised us by buying an EPIRB! We'll be really safe now.

When we get back, I'm going to have a third reefing point added to the mainsail, change the stuffing in the stuffing box and I might re-do the non'skid on the deck.

We plan on being in the Bahamas around Dec. 1st. We're going to start being serious sailors!
