Departure Tuesday?

Yesterday we topped up the fuel tanks, gave New Morning a wash down, packed away more stuff, washed some clothes, etc., etc. After we take care of a few last minute items tomorrow, including final provisioning for produce, we plan to depart on Tuesday.

After three weeks on the dock we are looking forward to getting back on the water. We're heading to the Las Perlas Islands, about 50 miles from Panama City. We'll spend a few days there making sure everything is working as expected, then depart for the Galapagos. If the weather and ITCZ cooperate, we plan to route via Isla del Coco to the north, otherwise it's a little more southerly at first, then turning west.
