Taking inventory is about as much fun as filling out my old expense reports. It’s something that is fruitful and needs to be done, but what a pain. I’ve had a locker full of pieces and parts since I moved onto the boat that I’ve never properly inventoried. Truth be told, the first time I started going through all the parts I didn’t have a clue what half of them were. It’s laughable now looking back at how little I know when I started getting into this whole sail around the world thing. The scary part is that for as far as I’ve come, I probably still don’t know half of what I should.
The forecast says rain all week so I am doing what I can to organize and stow everything down below. It’s a pretty big mess since I just throw everything in a cubby hole anytime someone is supposed to come over. We are talking mass disorganization. The inventory has a “location” field to it that once I start packing for the final departure I’ll fill in so I can find parts in a pinch. I am planning on doing the same thing for dry and canned provisions.
As it stands right now I am going to take the next two weeks to continue prepping the boat. I’ll take the week of thanksgiving off to see a couple of friends in the Dallas/Fort Worth area then head home to see family for Thanksgiving. From there I’ll fly back to Kemah, load up the boat with groceries, and start looking for a weather window to head south. First landfall could be anywhere from Campeche, Mexico to Isla Mujeres Mexico. We’ll see which way the wind is blowing.
