On this overcast Monday, your correspondents were hardly ceremonial about the first day of one of the best Summers of our lives, as we spent the afternoon shopping for food and other essential provisions for our big voyage tentatively taking place Wednesday.
It's a good thing neither of us are incredibly sentimental, or at least choose not to be in this case. I, personally, have been feeling quite nostalgic for the past few days. I am sure I speak for both of us in saying that our friends and loved ones are going to be sorely missed and always in our thoughts. As both a reminder to myself and the aforementioned, I would like to stress that we are not in fact "moving away" or attempting to escape any personal relationships, but merely taking a somewhat indefinite vacation during which we will be frequently visiting home. Please keep us likewise in your thoughts and prayers!
As for the crummy weather, we remain optimistic. Two days ago we enjoyed a much-needed evening sail in fantastic wind and a vibrant sunset, making Ken feel a bit like Pan.
And did I mention the fantastic view on the bay?
The word about this blog seems to be getting around; much thanks to all the visitors. Stay tuned, the best is yet to come!

Slooplayla.blogspot.com is pleased to present a new incarnation, the better to follow a new adventure from near or far.
In early November, our dear friends mister Kenneth B. and miss Darci D. boarded a plane (or three) bound for the Hawaiian Islands. Unable to handle the cold, they chose to get out of the freezer.
So, for an indefinite number of months, the duo will wait out the Pacific Northwest winter by pursuing and intertwining their respective passions of scuba diving and organic farming.
As the fingers endowed to format this page, I'm sure I type for all of us when I write that we wish Darc and Ken all things good and harmonious and warm, and that we eagerly await pictures and details of the fun.
The Next Chapter:
Thank you all for the comments on the posts so far. Each bit of encouragement is noted and greatly appreciated!
