Not much has happened since our last post. Lots of communication back and forth with STARDUST`s present owners. The time is drawing near for all of the essential things to get done, like certification for first aid and survival training, and of course updating sea time certification. Al hopes to leave Halifax sometime close to the end of April and take three to four weeks to bring her back via Bermuda. We recently found a blog of another couple on a Vagabond 42, and hope to maintain contact with them.
STARDUST`s owners couldn`t be nicer or more generous to us. They are almost as worried about us getting back to Halifax as we are. Their offer to let us have the essential things that will be needed on the trip home has certainly relieved us of some unnecessary purchases such as pots and pans, cutlery, dishes, etc. Hope the guys remember to buy dish soap. The sellers are doing everything possible to make the transition easy on us. Truly, these are great folk.
Both John and Al are creating list after list of things that are needed on the way home, and which can`t be taken on the plane, such as CO 2 tanks on the life jackets. Al has a list as long as his arm of things he wants to buy at the Marine Warehouse, where he is fortunate to be able to take advantage of wholesale prices. The "Bimford" first aid kit is first on the list.
During the Halifax Boat Show we bought our foul weather gear. We got some pretty good prices, but it sure wasn`t cheap. April 15th will come quickly. We absolutely can`t wait.
