Following our dream

After two years of preparation we are untying the lines today and starting our voyage to warmer waters. We believe HONU is ready, in part due to information we gained here, and know that we are. We plan to leave our slip at Alameda Marina around 1400 PDT. Tonight will be spent at anchor in Horseshoe Cove near the north tower of the Golden Gate Bridge. Tomorrow we will ride the tide out the gate and "turn left'. We plan a leisurely two week trip to San Diego where we will prepare to join the Baja Ha-Ha to Cabo San Lucas. After that ... ? You can follow our progress, or lack thereof, at our blog www.sailblogs.com/member/sailinghonu/ . You can find our location at www.vesselfinder.com Our MMSI is 367584430. Our callsign is WDG9111 should you want to give us a call while we're underway

We are happy and proud to join all of the Island Packet owners who have preceded us in the pursuit of their dreams and look forward to meeting many of you in anchorages and harbors, who knows where.

FANTASTIC JOB Mike and Judy, this is wonderful news.

I always say, the hardest part of cruising is simply leaving the dock and going. There is always one more item to buy, one more item to fix and one more thing to do, BUT, there comes a time in the cruising plan, where you just have to say, WE ARE LEAVING, and you go. Once gone, and once out, you will find it is 10 times easier than you ever expected. It is simply one day at a time, one leg at a time. Sure your boat will break down and you will have to fix it along the way, but that is expected, it is a boat after all. So, toss of the lines, forget about buying and fixing and loading, GO GO GO, and you will LOVE IT.
