OK. Quite a bit of time has elapsed since my last post and a whole lot has happened in the last 17 months. I spent four and a half of them in New Zealand from November to March. Really incredible experience. Lots of stories from that adventure to come. Arcturus has been out of the water since October. I have been refitting her and I am planning on heading out around November 2 on an extended, open-ended world cruise with the intent of circumnavigating. Pretty exciting times. I have been working towards this for about five years. I have a lot left to do but everything is coming together nicely. There are quite a few projects going on at once. I will be posting photos of everything that is going on over the next month. Mast rewiring project, complete electrical system upgrade, new wooden dinghy being built and some new electronics being installed. Lots of excitement. 33 days and counting!
