Hi there everyone!
This is Jim, the First Mate on The Banana Winds. I just wanted to let everyone know what we’re up to on the boat this week. Captain Greg, Perry Martin (Galley Chief/Engineer) and I are working everyday to get ready for our trip south. We’re making great progress and every job we finish gets us that much closer to being on our way, and that makes us excited!
Today, we plan to change all the fresh drinking water filters (there are two), and get our new stereo and movie surround sound system set up so when we have movie night we can feel just like we’re at the movies. Then later we may even go for a sail, if the weather holds out.
Well, that’s what we’re up to today; stay tuned for more updates as we get closer and closer. By the way, when we get underway, I will be giving you updates every single day. This blog will act as our ship’s log and I will be adding photos along the way as well.
Till later, we bid you fair winds and calm seas,
Jim Southward
