Departure Plans

For this entry I had planned to have an progress report on the first day of my voyage to Tahiti. But as we all know sailing plans are just that, plans, not fact. Instead of bouncing around on the ocean, I am recovering from hernia surgery. This came about just one week before the planned departure date. I guess that is better than one week after the departure. My recovery is proceeding along well. The doctor tells me I could be fit enough to sail by June. So that is the plan, to depart about June 1st with a good weather window. Rather than Rangiroa being my first port call, I intend to sail direct for Papeete to be there by June 30th to meet Judi arriving by B-767. So there's the new plan but one never knows what's coming around the corner. Unfortunately, my able crew I had signed on was unable to delay till June. Unless I get another volunteer, I will sail singlehanded.
