Sailing away very soon!

About a week ago my friend, Paul Calder called my boyfriend up about sailing from Miami to Maine. Chris hemmed and hawed and then asked if i could come too (at my insistance) and lo and behold: we are setting out towards miami on the 15th.

Since then I've been keeping 8 million lists lying around adding new things here and there, but the best thing i found was this: The Ultimate Packing List. A website that lets you pick a few options, including weather, bag size, travel modes, etc. Try it out. Instead of racking my brain trying to figure out what i need, i just print it out.

I'd only done an overnight sail on paul's boat, but the one thing i remember is that everywhere was pretty much packed to the gills already. I figure whatever i bring, will end up in my bunk. I got a hanging bathroom accoutrements bag, that has pockets big enough for kindle and daily necessities and a Sealline 35L Boundary Pack (made in seattle and really worth 80 bucks!). I figured it will get me through whatever happens. Rain, rail, or comfort. Its tough, waterproof, and very squish-able.  I also got a new headlamp which everyone should be given at birth. Jade gifted me an already cut filson's bag she just happened to have lying around. I stitched it up yesterday and i have to say, its going to be the best bag ever.

I made a video while stitching it, hopefully i will get it done soon. But i've got a lot on my plate. Check out www.skyandlady.com, it'll go there when it's finished along with the pattern (after i talk to jade about it!) Which just might be september because i am going to be gone that long and I am so excited.

As with everything with me, it just takes time but you know the quality will be awesome.

Lady says hi! xo
