As the to-do list grows shorter and the months zoom by
I am both eager and nervous about leaving. Focusing on the many details of
getting the boat ready leaves me little time to just daydream about what it
will be like when I arrive.
White sand, salt air, clear water and the cry of
seagulls overhead are what I have to keep in mind. Venturing ashore to visit
the village taco cart and chit chat with the locals is what I’m looking forward
to. That and mixing with other cruisers that are happy to be where they are.
For now I’ll have to satisfy myself with reading the
blogs and looking at the pictures of those already there.
Sitting here doing the math I find I’ll have enough to
complete the boat projects and if I play my cards right I’ll have a dollar or
two extra to put into the cruising kitty. Postponing departure to make extra
money is not an option. I’ll go with what I have and work it out later.
