Back home with no major voyages planned
We are happily living in Delta B.C. and Mustang Sally has no major
voyages planned for the forseeable future. We are going to work
like hell for 5-10 years then retire. Perhaps after retirement we
will consider more off-shore adventures on Mustang Sally.
--------------------------
Fixed schedules are a problem for sail boats. When
the primary means of propulsion is the wind, and the medium you
travel on (water) is greatly effected by bad weather,
adherence to fixed schedules can force you to take unnecessary weather
related risks.
Mustang Sally travels when the weather is good. We spend allot of
time analyzing meterological data for the express purpose of avoiding bad weather.
So far - so good. No storms or gales while at sea.
------------------------------ Now our cruising plans are mushy
as mashed potatoes. If fate and fortune treat us
well we will adventure again. Sharon's dream is to sail to
Mexico each winter and back here for the summers. Rae's dream
schedule is set out below. If we can swing either one we will be
pretty lucky.
