We actually achieved the goal of being ready to depart within 1 week of our planned departure time frame of late-October/early-November. The last few weeks were a blur of activity (partly in evidence from the many posts during this time). But, we were ready this weekend.
Now, thanks to the weather forecast (the influences from Hurricane Ida), we are facing a long wait (possibly more than a week) for a better weather window for our passage to Bermuda.
It is frustrating to not be able to begin the journey as planned. But, after the rushing around, maybe this will give us a chance to rest a bit before we actually depart.... Well, my wife will probably rest some. But, I'm not known for sitting idle (my friends and family are laughing at this understatement). I'll be experimenting with the new systems on the boat, and we'll probably do more safety drills this week. Also, we have some upgrades to the web site in the works, as well as a few new partnerships to announce. You'll start to see evidence of this in tomorrow's post.

I can't ever remember seeing you sit idle for more than about a nanosecond, Frank. Even while sleeping, I think you have to be moving! :-)
In case you didn't see a couple tweets on Friday, I finally got a cell phone (the Motorola Droid from Verizon). We should talk offline about phone numbers (but not until after Friday - I don't get any useful service up here on Kitt Peak with the new phone....).

Jim, This is an interesting trait, perhaps the gods of sky and weather feel the Tahina needs to be moored a bit longer to ensure Fanak is well inoculated before moving forward in the odyssey. http://www.theoi.com/greek-mythology/sky-gods.html
