We're less than 14 days from our departure date of May 20. "How are we holding up?" you ask. Well, Nick's working 12 hour days on "vacation" from work painting the hull of the boat as well as taking care of other under-the-water-line projects (thanks Dad for helping out so much!). We're all living at the beach house, driving 45 minutes to/from school - I guess I should be thankful that we have a place to go to and not paying for some hotel. The kids are restless, especially Nicholas, but surviving Mom and Dad's crazy work schedule. Oh, and to top it all off, I scheduled a party for the 15th and invited so many people, most of whom have never even seen the boat, so this will be their first impression and of course not all our projects got done - no pressure (arggghhhhh!!!!). I'll post again on the 20th as we motor away from dock.
