The tallies are in and we’re in the home stretch to setting sail. There’s still plenty of work to do (as always) but soon enough the tally on lines tied to the dock will be zero.
- 4.5 – Hours each way from Dallas to Kemah, Kemah to Dallas

Thanks to Windtraveler for this ‘by the numbers’ idea.
Let me know if you two sail into New York or somewhere near Long Island. We would love to see you and cook you some food off the boat.
Great to hear from you, Griffin! We would LOVE to see you guys as you’re always welcome aboard Kaleo. The tropics have trumped the NE on this trip but should we get up there on the next trip, we’ll certainly connect with you all :o).
