The Rona!

Since March 2020 Stephen and I have not been ill with COVID. We are both vaccinated and boosted x 1 each. I feel we have had many exposures, and all has been well. 

I returned from Maryland on 5/30 after my visit home and on 5/31 slept the entire day. Very out of character for me. I told Stephen we needed to test me... The wedding, graduation, 2 airport visits, sure lots of super spreader events, and too hard to decipher the culprit and did not really matter. I did alert all my family. Also, many folks on the dock were ill prior to me leaving. 

That result came immediately, no waiting or deciphering about the result. Unfortunately, the only decision now was what to do??? 

We had plans to leave the marina on 5/31 which we aborted as I slept like a log ALL day. The following day I did get a burst of energy, which I now know is how this virus can wax and wane. 

Much discussion was had but we did decide we would go to Kauai and isolate there. We have plenty of food and have all our fuel and propane. We recognize Stephen is a ticking time bomb so we will see what the next week brings for us both. We do not want to make a passage if we do not feel up to snuff.

We did get the Iridium Go up and running and I am waiting to get our tracker going with Predict Wind.  We left Oahu yesterday and arrived at sunrise this AM at Hanalei Bay. It was helpful to make a passage to test our systems and realize we need to secure some things on the boat better and get some additional electrical chargers as the salt air just destroys them so quickly. Otherwise, all seemed to function properly, knock, knock, knock and prayers to the boat Gods!!!

Keep ya'll posted. I am just resting. The ants in my pants are gone with this virus. That nagging feeling I need to be doing something productive is toned down to a wave, like making this post.
