ANNOUNCEMENT: Rebel Heart Sets Sail - Countdown to Cruising in August 2012

In 2005 we came up with the idea to buy a boat together and sail around the world. In between then and now we have bought a boat, gotten married, had a kid, and been preparing for a world circumnavigation.

It's time to announce that we are really very close to leaving. Rebel Heart will be setting sail from San Diego in mid-August for a shake-down cruise to the Channel Islands. We'll be back in San Diego in early October to fix anything that broke and then head down the west coast to start our circumnavigation.

Follow along as we continue to blog about our final preparations. And check out Eric and Charlotte's blogs for updates and answers to specific questions about the trip route and plans.
