Except for a few weeks in a marina here and there, Oso has been on the go continuously for the past six months. Since we’ve had a number of multi-day passages, it would be easy to think that the boat is already prepared for anything.
Maybe we’re overly conservative, but a long ocean passage feels different to us than a several day hop. So even though Oso is probably in fighting trim already, there’s still a long list of prep that we want to check through before leaving.
So our last several days in Santa Cruz are a whirlwind of checking, inspecting, and cleaning to get ready for the long sail to the Caribbean.
