The day has arrived...35 years went by too fast. The camping and fishing gear are loaded on top of the car and we head out Wed morning for a night in Key West. Have a room reserved in Deadhorse Alaska for June 21-23 and plan on getting home in October. I'll post some key moments here as we go ala Glossieback and his annual sailing adventures.
