COVID, VACCINES, SAILING, AND STARTING A NEW CHAPTER

 Here we are approaching the middle of 2021 after a dumpster fire of a year world-wide.  So many people have been suffering.  Perhaps it is our stage in life and the fact that the work we are involved in (construction) has continued throughout the pandemic crisis.  We learned that we can effectively work from home.  We also learned that there are many selfish people in so called "free" countries who put their selfishness first and well ahead of any sense of the good of others or the good of the planet.  We now have a measure of peoples' character that will guide us in future. 

We are about to be receiving our second doses of the Pfizer vaccines.  Once this is done, we feel confident that we can proceed with the first leg of our adventure of heading south down the coast of the United States.  With that in mind, the opening of the Canada - US border is being discussed by both governments as the pace of immunization intensifies.  The US has done well in the short time the new administration has been in place.  Canada has and continues to do well.  

So with full immunization, documentation of that, and passports in hand, we hope to head south in early to mid August with the assistance of Jamie and Behan Gifford from Totem being our offshore coaches and weather routers.
