In an hour or so, we’ll leave Sitka to start the six or seven day passage home to Anacortes. The engine is fixed, the galley is stocked with healthy meals and unhealthy snacks, and the wind looks favorable. The kids are nervous but stoked, Demon the Cat is clingy and anxious sensing that something is about to happen, and Tom and I are happy to have our friend John on board to help us take the boat home. Hopefully a week onboard with our two kiddos won’t dissuade him from his plan to take his own family out on an epic voyage.
There’s little time to write about any reflections now as our impending departure can be counted in minutes now, but know that we are happy to be headed home.

I realize that this has not been the journey that you planned. However it has been an adventure, which every trip should be in my mind. Wishing you safe sailing!
You have had an amazing and interesting year!!! Thanks for sharing it with us!!!
