Okay. "Almost for sure" approvals from the marina and boat insurance guys. Working on California DMV paperwork. Hope to sail the boat to its new home the weekend of January 24th. Transition to liveaboard probably take a couple weeks, fully moved out of everywhere else . . . ?

Scrub down, basic equipment for liveaboard, shakedown mini-cruises in the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta and San Franciso Bay area, maintenance schedule, upgrade priority list, navigation class(es), etc. Goal is to cruise out under the Golden Gate bridge for some limited coastal cruising - possibly by Fall 2009 and certainly by Spring 2010. Ultimately intend to cruise to Mexico and Alaska.
