Kenn has been working every day, putting in long hours to finish up all of the projects that the boat owner requested prior to leaving on the trip. I spent most of the weekend either as an extra set of hands on various projects for Kenn, or pulled marathon cooking sessions to prepare and freeze several menu items for dinners during the trip. So we'll have some wholesome meals such as my homemade spaghetti, white chicken chili, sloppy joes, and beef stew among other things.
Tonight found us organizing clothes and finalizing lists of things to take on this extended excursion. I've verified that I should have good broadband signal, either through my Alltel account or Sprint down the Arkansas River and the Mississippi to New Orleans. So I should be able to keep the blog up-to-date as we travel along. The plan is still on schedule to leave port soon after full light on Saturday morning, October 27th.
We'll let you know how it goes. Fair winds and smooth sailing (or in this case, motoring).

You should have a great trip. I hope that you have filed a daily float plan so people know when to expect you. You will have fun learning the language of the river with the commercial tugs.
keep up the good posts.
What have you done today to make you feel proud?
