As described, the gf and I are sailing home to NZ setting off through the Great Lakes this summer from about the 20th June and heading for St Johns in Newfoundland before crossing the Atlantic. Ive enjoyed reading these forums so Im adding something back both to titillate any merchants of doom who might frequent the site as well as hopefully gaining local knowledge from anarchists along the way.

We are in the process of packing up our lives into boxes with two weeks more of work before we go out to the boat and start on an improbable list of jobs which we cannot possibly complete before departure, but at least none of them should be show stoppers or things that cant be finished as we go.

I will post with more updates as we go but im not going to promise anything regular in advance - we wont be taking satelite tech (aside from the EPIRB) or even a pactor modem for the SSB.
If anyone wants to share local insight on places to stop along the way with a draft of 9'8" please do so!
