Feb. 2 is departure date.

We are definitely leaving as early as possible on Sunday morning.  I forgot to mention other things that could delay our departure:  replacing the water pump in the truck.  Chica has been deposited at her new home in Pardeeville, where she will probably misbehave for the next two months.  Thanks to Dad and Lila for agreeing to take her in.  We plan to take three days to get to Florida, and on the fourth day have some time to rig the boat and learn more about the policy at South Dade Marina. 
See two photos -- one of Chica in her carrier and the other of near white out conditions to transport her.
