So......what could possibly go wrong ( in no particular order of likelyhood):

1- The Pacific Northwest waters have been known as; "The Graveyard of the Pacific" because of all the many shipwrecks and loss of life over the centuries. We may not be exempt.

2- We could reconsider the desire for or practicality of the voyage, at any point in this adventure and abort.

3- Health issues could intervene. Us seniors are prone to unannounced; strokes, heart attacks, organ failures, falls and untimely forgetfullness among a plethora of other age related degradations.

4- The U.S.A could close the border for some unexpected reason.

5- The boat could "break" in any number of ways and be unable to complete the journey.

6- Capt. Andy could make unwise decisions and a mutiny ensue.

7- Really bad and unexpected marine weather conditions could also stop reasonably safe progress.

8- Whales around the globe seem to be taking delight in attacking and sinking sailboats.

9etc.etc.etc- Wars, pestilence, falling comets, tidal waves, lightning, solar storms, miscellaneous acts of God......hey; the glass is half full. Are we up to the challenge? Stay tuned to find out.
