snowing in the pacific northwest

it's April 19th. it's still snowing.
not concerned so much about the weather here
a late spring here...late spring in the Kenai.
late snow melt, late foliage, late berries, late salmon runs.
sure hope some warm weather comes soon.
otherwise we'll have snow on the beaches!

Countdown!

This is the calendar I used before launching off to Central America last winter. It was fortuitous to find it when I was organizing for this trip. It reminded me to let the lists grow, keep prioritizing them, but be aware that they don't really get "completed".

Less than 1 month officially. Still much to do. ;)

hola amigos - a new post!

getting off the ground. right now using as a message board.
lots of changes can be made to the site, even the blog name.
all relatively easy, we can talk on orcas.

b and i are spinning moby right now, she's making jewlery.

i got the angle aluminum today for explorer and wicked little 'kap lv.
matt, i only got 1" zinc 10/24 carridge bolts, if you can find stainless.
will get chart case material next week.
got my icon m88 radio. trying to figure out what channel is weather. :)
also got new bladder tubing for on-water hydration, should be set there.
i'm ending with 10L dromedary for the group, and guessing the 6L will be day use.

i'm sorted with most other gear nicely.
still am on the fence totally on footwear- i want the uggs! say there's room?
got a great rubber sealine 30L for front of foot pegs.
i'm pysched for extra storage and to have a little weight there.

am thinking about beans, lentils, complex carbs, fats a lot.
who's getting wicked olive oil. is gee worth the space?
and also thinking on-water food options, trailmix blends still seem best.
djuna, thanks for that article from your PDX friend,
super helpful and also makes a ton of sense for what you feel on the water.
he recommends a daily multivitamin due to lack of fruits/veggies.

those are things top of my mind.
scotty and i are running middle middle tonight!!
it's running fast and ice cold!
looking forward to dynamic water.

on island 4/25.
gran sonrisa.
ciao.
