Wow It is really REAL!!!!!!!!

OOPS been to long since I posted here. Busy guy getting getting all together organizing bookkeeping and transfers and emails and Cassi parts and actually getting words on paper for the book. That's is the fun part I must say!

We know have 56 pledgers Yaaahooooo yppppyyy doodahhh

That's over three months of the project covered and transfers are coming in so it is all started!

A dream underway.

One week of writing and fixing and crew are coming and the project really is REAL! There was even payday! To the market for heaps of fresh organic vegetables! Things look good with a couple of stories/ chapters well underway plus lots of getting Cassiopeia back together accomplished. I am introducing the project to a wider audience with an email to the Antigua yacht club and the yachting website where I won the writing competition. The pledges are still trickling in (up to 56 !) and a number of transfers have already been made in a variety of manners.

Thanks to those who have already sent wires as the project is thus officially funded and Cassi already has some necessary new items. I am confident the final fund raising goal will be reached over the next weeks. Please share with your friends and also any boat lovers as a large percentage of the contributions have been made by people who have never been aboard but just like the idea of dreams and boats!

There is still a secret story soon to be released as it could well be part of the larger marketing campaign. A little adversity added to just spice things up. Those around here who know the tale all just shake their heads and say, “Well that's another chapter in the book!” Indeed it shall be.

As promised I wil post the accounts and a snippet of the writing on Monday. I started with the start, sort of, the love story that leads into the dream story that leads to the boat story. When I start thinking it through there are sure a lot of stories. It might take two books!

There is already crew coming with parts from Aus to help with the electrical and more friends slated for August. Yeah fun fun fun.....
