Registry

Our soon to be home… The Lagoon 380.

Hi Everyone, thanks for checking out the registry  and for thinking about getting us a gift.  In keeping with what seems to be our mantra ” do nothing normally ” we have not registered at Target, Bed Bath & Beyond, etc.  There’s a reason for this.  Some of you may have had the pleasure of sailing on a small boat.  If so, you’ll remember there is a lack of space to put things.  When we embark on our sailing journey we will have purged a great deal of the STUFF which we’ve accumulated over the years.  Our house included.  We hate to have you put the time and effort in to a gift and have us not be able to bring it with.

With the above in mind, if you are inclined to give us a gift ( and we are very appreciative of that inclination) we ask that you make a cash donation to our sailing fund.  Listed is an exert from the sailing budget of Bumfuzzle ( one of our cyber mentors on this adventure ).  This is a small depiction of the financial undertaking on which we will embark and we’re glad for any help you may wish to lend.  Our costs will be even higher than theirs.  We’ll have a slightly bigger boat ( so that all of you may visit) and things cost more today than 10 years ago. If you’re curious about all of their costs or about their adventures you can see them at bumfuzzle.com

We’re also planning on leaving a video message here in the coming days.  If you would like us to remind you when it’s up, all you have to do is add your email here…

Thanks again for tuning in, we’re both very excited to see you at the wedding.
