Yesterday I gave notice at my job, no turning back now.  It's hard to believe that in less than a month we will be back on Odessa, where she waits for us at a marina in Ventura, California.  We still have a few last minute things to do in Seattle while we have access to bank accounts, U.S. medical services, cars, etc.  We look forward to having you drop in from time to time to see what we are up to.  Nita
