What an awesome day!
We have loaded the boat with about 500lbs of supplies and there must be another 1500lbs in storage at Speedside Church... We have raised more than half the money we hope we will need and we have 9 churches on board, collecting for us! We are VERY PLEASED with the support we have received so far and hope to be giving supplies away by early November.... We leave on July 1st, but hope to spend the first few months dodging hurricanes and relaxing along the eastern seaboard of the USA. As soon as we are comfortable that hurricane season has ended (somewhere around November 1st) we will make our way to Cuba. There is a new marina in Varadero so we will likely park the boat there and use land transportation to distribute supplies during the month of November.... In early December we will head to Mexico where we will give whatever we have left to children there. At Christmas, some of our family and friends will be seeing us and we have asked each of them to bring an extra suitcase full of school supplies with them so we can get re-stocked for our trip through Central America to Panama in time for the next Hurricane season in 2015....
