leaving normal: how could this possibly go wrong?
http://imleavingnormal.blogspot.com/2008/07/how-could-this-possibly-go-wrong.html
Tuesday, July 1, 2008. How could this possibly go wrong? Yep, we decided to truck our shiny, new (to us), beautiful (we think, haven't seen it yet) boat from San Carlos, Mexico to Seattle. To say that we're nervous about this is a galactic understatement. The logistics go a little like so:. 7/6 Fisher drives our car from Seattle down to New Orleans to drop off his dog with his mom. Stay with me, it'll come around to our boat. 7/18 We fly down to Phoenix and pick up the car and drive to Tucson. 7/22 Every...

leaving normal: caliber 40
http://imleavingnormal.blogspot.com/2008/06/caliber-40.html
Thursday, June 26, 2008. She's a 1993 Caliber 40. She's bristling with cruising gear as her previous owners who spent their winters in Mexico aboard her are getting out of cruising. So this really is a "package deal". Life raft. Tender. Outboard. Full suite of ground tackle and sails. Electronics, albeit a bit dusty and old. Watermaker. Solar panels. The list goes on. And on. I posted the pics we got from the owners so once you click here. You'll know as much about this boat as we do! Gina aka Cheese said.

leaving normal: August 2008
http://imleavingnormal.blogspot.com/2008_08_01_archive.html
Monday, August 11, 2008. This blog was always my blog. I tried to keep it focused on our plans, our progress and our happenings but it's always been my voice. My perspective. My grammar crimes. This next phase in our lives, we want a blog with both of our voices. Rather than continue the good fight here, we are going to mothball Leaving Normal. And create a brand new spot for y'all to keep track of us. Http:/ blog.svhelloworld.com. Links to this post. Sunday, August 10, 2008. Links to this post. I hope y...

leaving normal: martian attack averted
http://imleavingnormal.blogspot.com/2008/08/martian-attack-averted.html
Sunday, August 10, 2008. We have a broad network of spies throughout the city of Seattle. Partially to stave off martian attack but mostly to capture pictures of our boat as it approaches its new home. One such spy - Alison (not her real name) - grabbed this bit of evidence whilst pretending to have lunch at a vegetarian restaurant in Fremont about 2 miles from where we'll launch her back in the water:.

leaving normal: hola!
http://imleavingnormal.blogspot.com/2008/07/hola.html
Sunday, July 20, 2008. Here we are in sunny (*really* sunny) San Carlos, Mexico. It's 180 degrees in the shade. We're sitting inside the gringo bar Club de Capitanes. Finishing up some brilliant ceviche and I don't know how many Negro Modelos. We spent the morning helping the current owner rig the boat and get it ready for sea trial and survey. Which meant putting on some sails and running the engine up to temperature. As always, we'll keep you updated. Labels: buying a boat. View my complete profile.

leaving normal: whiskey tango foxtrot?
http://imleavingnormal.blogspot.com/2008/06/whiskey-tango-foxtrot.html
Monday, June 23, 2008. Yeah, I know. I totally went AWOL on ya'all. Ton's of stuff going in our world, the most important of which is. we made an offer on a boat. That we've completely fallen in love with. And really want. It's beautiful. Well equipped. Rugged. Exactly what we want*. We'll keep you posted. Labels: buying a boat. Did you need me to go on a scouting trip to Mexico? Those pictures Christy sent were lacking critical information in my opinion. June 25, 2008 at 6:38 AM. View my complete profile.

leaving normal: more delays
http://imleavingnormal.blogspot.com/2008/08/more-delays.html
Tuesday, August 5, 2008. Apparently the knuckleheads that wrapped the mast (I wrapped the mast). Did a crappy job of it and the truck driver that's down there picking it up has to re-wrap it. He's going to do his best to undo those clowns' (mine). Wrap job and bundle it up with whatever he has available. He'll take off tomorrow morning. You just can't find good help these days.

http://imleavingnormal.blogspot.com/2008/07/contents-may-settle-during-shipment.html
Tuesday, July 29, 2008. Contents may settle during shipment. She is no longer sitting here on jackstands. As of 9AM this morning, she's on a truck negotiating the Mexican roads between San Carlos and Tucson, AZ. I'm totally not nervous. Check out pics from Mexico. Including the tasty surprise we found sitting inside the mast when we pulled it out). Labels: buying a boat. July 29, 2008 at 4:53 PM. Can't wait to get out and sail with you guys! We'll be sure to not open your anchor locker.

Tuesday, July 22, 2008. We're still here on the surface of the sun. The signs all say Mexico but I'm not fooled. Hot Tired. Sweaty. Take care. More updates to follow. Labels: buying a boat. You guys keep complaining about the sun.but I think you've just spent too much time sheltered in your temperate Seattle drizzle. Welcome to what summer is for the rest of the world! As I sit here in my nice air conditioned office :) :). BTW - nice job getting the boat ready! July 22, 2008 at 12:45 PM.
