Well little worry that she would not. So with early April Nikita will be commissioned including rigging and last delivery items checked off, such as engine operation. We expect to be in CT by late April to begin provisioning and moving aboard. While time flies it also seems so far away yet to our departure.
On another note, and while I am the first one to admit having been bored reading of the preparation phase on the various blogs and websites that I have lived vicariously through over the years, there is a certain tension and stress that we are now experiencing that gives me new perspective and appreciation. The last two weeks have been dominated by the resignation from my current job. Very difficult to explain to co-workers and bosses as frankly I have no reason to leave - a good company, good people and very interesting work. I have been fortunate professionally but as well worked at my career will full support of my family for 15 years. It is very unsettling to say the least to "give" it up. It also rings with an odd sense of permanence that in fact is not real as no doubt after our cruise I will be back to work in some capacity.
So we continue to move through the unwinding of shore side life and getting ever closer to a floating one.
