Happy New Year

Jan 3, 2015

My calendar alert chimed this morning reminding me that today is our planned departure day.   We are still in LA and Chez Nous is still in Ensenada waiting for fabrication and installation of 6 chain plates. It's not like you can buy them off a shelf or we would be hitching a one way ride to Baja Naval with new plates in hand.

The one thing we thought might cause a delay was our home landscape /hardscape project but it amazingly finished up on Friday.  

Then again, let's say the boat was ready to go today we'd still have to wait for a weather window.  Looking at the line of storms coming down the coast from Alaska this doesn't look like the week to take off on a cruise.

"CALM" was the directive word from a priest to me on the Camino Del Norte last spring.  This year's cruising  word is going to be "PATIENCE" which I certainly have to work on.
