Or I will be soon, anyway. I've just got back from dumping what's left of our accumulated garbage, going to the store for a few last minute items, and taking on water. I'm going to stretch my time at the marina here right up to the 11AM deadline to take advantage of the AC electric, which has been keeping things pretty dry inside (except for the leak from one of the starboard side portlights--sorry, dear, I'm going to have to slather some caulk on it again before you get back or get mildewed in here).
After that, I'll head down to the government dock, where there is supposed to be a pump-out station. Our holding tank and head are both full. They've worked well, but it's time to dump the stuff, and this may be one of the last opportunities to do so in an ecologically friendly manner, instead of just pumping it straight overboard.
It's complicated for a one-man job so that may kill another hour. Then I'll head out and probably detour up through the relatively current-less Gowiland Harbour and site-see through there before continuing on to Seymour Narrows. It may be a long day but you probably won't hear from me again for a little while.

Your keeping me awake at night ... post as soon as you can so we know your safe. I'm not comfortable with your being by yourself up there! Love, your mother
Hey Scott -
I really have not had a chance to read the blogs yet, so I am just catching up. So good to know that you and Mandy are moving north and from the few days I have read having a great adventure.

No need to worry, Mom, it's safer than crossing the street in Seattle...
Hi Marilyn! I did get your message right before we left and was sorry to hear the news. Didn't have time to call before we took off but we will definitely catch up over coffee when I get back. Hope all else is going well with you and your family.
