"Are you here with the circus?"

asked the cashier at Walmart while I was trying to buy a can of WD-40 yesterday.
"Ahhh, which circus?" I asked.
"Cirque du Soleil is in town and I thought you might be with them," she replied.
Hmmmm. I'm thinking it's time to leave Virginia, they just don't get the funky Bozeman ski hat style. Or maybe it was something else????

So we loaded up our circus today and headed out of Hampton, VA and entered the Intracoastal Waterway. We made it to Great Bridge, VA. We're going to motor for about 4 days south to Beaufort, NC before heading offshore. It topped out at 44 degrees today, balmy for all you guys in MT, but feels like winter around here.

Let the projecting begin

We arrived in Hampton, VA last week after a mad push to pack our stuff into storage(!) and socialize with all the peeps we're going to miss in the coming months. We've been busy with boat prep/repair all week and have another week of steady work ahead of us prior to leaving VA. The boat's looking great and we're getting psyched.

Lexi and I have both quit our jobs and are going traveling on our 1985 Wauquiez Pretorien Pau Hana. Our house in Bozeman is leased and we are moving onto the boat on Monday. Our last stint of unemployment was in 2003-2004. We hope to travel the Caribbean and Pacific through 2017. 2015 will be the first ski season I've ever missed! Have a great winter!
