After months and months of ‘real life’ ashore, our cruising gears are starting to turn once more. While the actual pre-trip tasks at hand include things like ordering parts, cushion cover checks, binnacle repair and gathering odds and ends for electrical upgrades, the activities that come to me first are clearly of utmost importance: drinking and driving. I’m KIDding, people, kidding!! But really, on the same day that I bit the bullet and cheesed out on a personalized plate for the gymnastics wagon (the kids aren’t into soccer quite yet), I found this delightful wine. (It is worth mentioning that its delight is only found on its label, and not inside the bottle, lest any of you run out for a case. It tastes much like I’d imagine the feathers of that bird would taste after a trip through smog-rich skies.)
And so it begins for the 2017 trip! Updates to come on hopeful routes, boat beautification and attitudes ’round these parts.
