i feel like i'm in that old game show "beat the clock" trying to get so much accomplished in such a short amount of time. my head is spinning, i'm making huge typos in the blog and, well, i'm tense as all get out. my shoulders are strung tight and i think everyone is on edge as we're about to leave. i've spent the bulk of the day here in the condo cleaning, doing laundry, making hard boiled eggs, packing things up, and i can't even remember what else. jim was at the boat and the crew (rachel, lori and bob) drove and shuttled things back and forth. i've had no breakfast or lunch (i'm not counting the potato chips) and am not even hungry. perhaps i've invented a new diet, the potato chip diet. results divulged at a later date.
the plan is vacate the condo, and my precious computer hook-up, return my rental car (w/o them noticing the bumper), meet briefly with jim's ex-ceo and see his fabulous house, then return to the boat to sleep tonight. i hope dinner is in there somewhere as i'm sure once i'm sitting in the car my stomach will realize the lack of attention.
tomorrow morning we leave bright at early at 06:30. we shall see. we plan on sailing around the island a bit to take in a bit of the napali coastline before we turn northeast toward canada or seattle area. we're still not quite sure which it will be but we have plenty of time to figure it out.
i'd be lying if i said i wasn't a little unsettled about this whole thing. i'm keeping a positive attitude that it will be fun, relaxing, spectacular and i'll learn a lot. i can't wait to see the sunrises, sunsets, moon rises, night skies with lavish stars and galaxies. i've never seen a whale and hope to see one. once we've gotten back on land i'll be in blog frenzy mode downloading all kinds of stories and pictures. in the meantime, you'll just have to let your own imagination fill in the empty spaces of the blog.
yes i'll put on my scopolamine and wear my harness when on deck.
