Loaded up and ready to go

Pictures taken right before I pulled out yesterday and at our Ft. Desoto camp this morning.

One bit of good news is that I can type on my Blackberry now. I hit my left thumb with a hammer last weekend and it's been excruciatingly sore and tender.

Final Preparations

Putting the finishing touches on my GPS data in both units. All the routes through the narrow confusing bits are plotted, as well as all my waypoints. I have a marine chart chip and a topo map chip to help me visualize everything.

I also printed out tide tables for several key points along my route and stuffed them in the notebook with all my charts.

But I really need to go to bed now...
