Time to cut line

Okay, down to less than 36 hours before departure. Time to whip out a new blog template and pretend this is really all about sailing and has been all along.

I'll replace this background with something a bit more pertinent when I get a chance, Mark.

  • 2 pair long johns, wool
  • 1 turtleneck undershirt, wool
  • 2 pair jeans
  • 1 pair chinos
  • 2 pair shorts
  • 3 t-shirts
  • 2 linen button-up shirts
  • 5 boxers
  • 3 pair wool socks
  • 4 pair cotton socks
  • 1 wool sweater
  • 1 floppy-brimmed hat
  • 1 knit watch cap
  • 1 pair sandals
  • 1 pair deck shoes
  • Foulies (bib pants and jacket)
This stuff is beginning to add up pretty seriously.
  • Sleeping bag and pillow
  • multi-tool
  • rigging knife
  • #4 whipping twine
  • 3mm cord
  • GPS
  • Chart pack for the Gulf Islands
  • Waggoner Guide
  • Sunglasses
  • Toiletries (still need to get more sunblock)
  • Motion sickness pills
  • Harness (sposed to get a PFD as well, but can't afford SOSpenders with harness)
  • Books (ropework, Culler, & a couple fiction)
  • Computer/gadgets (remember to pack the cheesy camera's cable and the charger for same)
Still need to get:
  • butane hot knife from boat
  • sea boots from boat
  • rigging tape
  • e-books
  • tether, PFD(?)
  • sunblock
  • flosspicks
Still need to do:
  • Call hydro for Misha's apartment
  • Pay cellphone, add US service
  • Travel/Life insurance?

Nice list. One thing I would add, would be one of those eyeglasses retainer ropes. But that's because if I lost my glasses, I would be forked :)

Have a great trip!
