We will have a concertina (small, chord-only accordion)

Animals on board!?  Are you crazy?  They just eat food stores, drink fresh water stores, can't shit in a toilet, and vomit in the cabin.
We will have two lovely bicycles attending with us, they are named Soma and Jack.Favourite reference books: Fishing for Cruisers, nautical almanac and reduction tables, and Sailing for Dummies.
Are you interested in hosting a workshop/activity/discussion? If so, tell us about it!  I'd love to build a dinghy with/for someone, I have at least ten sets of plans for different boats on board, and I've been building wooden (plywood) sailboats since I was a kid.  Also, we have an industrial all steel singer sewing machine on board and we are experienced seamstresses, and I've built two dinghy sails myself, and my wife has done canvas and upholstery...
What are you excited about at the boat meetup this winter?  Meeting new people that are actually living life instead of waiting to die.
Where are you headed after the workshop?  Where ever the wind/tide/currents takes us.
We would love to buddy boat, but we have no set plans on a departure date nor course, so anyone leaving from Nov-Feb1 from southern florida will only inspire us to meet a deadline.
