Countdown T-27 days

Mckenzie spent the night last night. Woke up to Grammy making us breakfast. We read the tale of the City Mouse and Country Mouse. Alright- Items are getting crossed of the list and boxes are starting to get packed to ship down to Charleston. Thanks to Roger who has agreed to store our "Stuff" until we arrive. We've activated our new tracking device today (See the Find Me Spot Link under Where are Juan & Linda), but of course won't be using it for any practical purpose until we arrive in SC. Our BoatUS membership is active. Not much else is new.

29 days and counting

This is of course our first post to our new blog. We are counting down the days till we travel to Charleston, SC to take possession of our new boat "The Last Mango".
The plan is to sail her back to New England, traveling up the ICW to Norfolk, VA and then breaking out from the Chesepeake towards Montauk. If God and the weather permit we should be back at our old marina in Groton, CT. by Memorial Day. Our new boat is a 1989 Pearson 37-2. Aficionado, our old boat (we still have it, if anyone is interested in a well built,very well cared for, sailboat)is a 1976 Pearson P30. We have truly enjoyed her for the last five seasons, but we needed more room so Linda could bring her entire closet (just kidding). Actually we did need more room for our extended trips. We are also currently working on a website, keeping with the theme, thelastmango.com . Please be patient I am still learning web design.
