10, 9, 8 ….  The countdown has begun, boxes of parts have been arriving, overseas shipping is planned Airline tickets… check.  Airport hotel check, taxi to Bocas De Toro got it, water taxi to Red Frog Marina.  We are going back to Footloose after a year of COVID.  We are vaccinated, masked and ready to go. Michael had a booster the other day…injection site soreness mild headache next day..

It’s been a good year.  Learning our new house and a little bit about the area.   Mom and Dad stayed with us for 4 months while mom recovered from hip surgery.  They are back on the ranch now.  I now have a nice work shop in one of our garages.  Lisa has been working out at Defined Fitness and doing yoga at Sacred Rebel.  I built a fence to keep deer out of our fruit trees. 

Another big move for Lisa is obtaining her New Mexico Real Estate license. She is associated with R1 Realty in Farmington.  So of course if you know someone looking to relocate out of the brutal California real estate market, Farmington is a great place to live and Lisa can make it happen.  In this area 500k buys a lot of house.

We took time to hear some music with Music in the Mountains and to visit the Mesa Verde National monument. We even went sailing with the kayak on Farmington Lake. 

This year we plan to leave the Bocas del Toro Area mid-October, spend 2 weeks at Linton bay in Panama getting our life raft serviced along with some other boat projects.  Then we are off to finally explore the islands of San Blas.   After that we make our way to Cartagena, Columbia to spend the next few months.  We plan to enjoy the Christmas season from an Air BNB near the old town.  Footloose will be getting a bit of a face lift while we are there.   Then we cross the Caribbean going through the Windward Passage, and to Turks and Caicos.   We will make our way to our new home port at Brunswick, Georgia via the Bahamas and Florida arriving by June 1 and the beginning of Hurricane season.
