Randy and I have been prepping for a long distance “race” since 2017 when we purchased Zephyr, our 60′ Sundeer sailboat.  I vividly recall the day Randy said “… I bought our boat.”  Since then we have done our best to care for her and bring her to a McGuire level of shipshape.  Some shapeshifting along the way for Zephyr and for us.  I finally retired this past April.  Yay!  

Now we’re on the last leg of the race with putting all of Randy’s winter of 2020/2021 projects in place.  I keep ordering throw pillows.  Don’t ask me why.  I’m just ready.

Today the 2nd coat of bottom paint goes on; it’s green!  Zephyr is going to be beautiful.  We are wrapping up our affairs in Iowa.  Getting the house ready for renters, moving our stuff out, managing to get our mail and financial affairs in order.  Seeing family and friends and just celebrating summer.
