Two weeks to go!

Millie recuperating from surgery with her "comfy cone" on.

We are two weeks away from departure and Millie is still recuperating from surgery three weeks ago. Regardless of the name of her cone, I don't think she thinks it’s very comfy. She had a mast cell tumor removed from her left haunch (I purposely took the photo without the wound visible).  There were 22 staples closing the wound and she popped seven out within the first few days.  After two weeks of trying to keep the wound covered, the vets determined that it would be best to leave the incision exposed to air to expedite healing. That was a week ago. Slooooow going!  The good news is the pathology report came back clean thanks to the large margins taken during surgery and she should be all healed up by the time we leave.  

Tim and I have spent the last week hauling things down to the boat and stowing them away. At this point, the only things left are clothes, food and bar, along with our bikes, paddleboard, dinghy, and assorted other incidentals we will stumble upon in the next few weeks.  We continue to get super excited!  Woo hoo!
