GETTING READY

Evanston, IL - Welcome to the Begonia Blog! Here we are in Evanston getting ready for our trip. Our home has been packed up and we are living with the bare minimum awaiting Sebastian's departure date of December 4 when he will be driving to Fort Lauderdale with all our belongings for the next year aboard the Begonia. He will take advantage of his time alone to fix up the boat: add storage shelves, install the wind generator and take the boat out of the water to repaint the bottom with anti-fouling. The kids and I will join him on December 20 when our tenants move into our home on land and we move into our home on the sea! T-one month! We can't believe this is really happening.

    Good for you, Karla & Sebastian! I know the feeling well - taking the leap anyway - not the feeling of sea legs. : ) I wish you well on your adventure and will look forward to your updates. All the best for a safe journey! xoxo Margie

    Que Dios les guie, que les bendiga y que les de suficiente (no demasido) viento.
    Estaran en mis oraciones y pensamientos.
