Abscond!

I am absconding. Ha!

I will attend the sea trials and boat survey on April 14, close at the hip of our marine inspector. And then, with the boat on the hard at Ke'ehi Lagoon, I will head to the airport and red-eye out of town for a week-long work trip.

Returning six days later to a freshly bottom-painted new home.

I feel a little guilty, although my income is what's keeping us afloat at the moment; and K knows I'd rather be there putting hands on that boat myself, rather than relying on friends to help her out.

Not to mention, I detest red-eye flights.
