Last Minute Date Change

Good Morning!

I am experiencing my first major hurdle besides actually getting the boat ready to leave.

After careful consideration and due to a late and irrepairable mechanical failure, we have decided to postposne the departure date to June 14th. This date will coincide with the Marina del Rey Boat Show but more importantly will allow for time to repower (new engine) my boat.

The decision was made by my dad and I after painstakingly weighing the pros and cons. We don't want any compromises on the boat considering the huge undertaking she is about to undergo.

This is a huge dissappointment in some ways but pratically speaking it is for the best. I am sorry for any inconveniences this will cause. We are sending out emails and a press alert in an attempt to get the news out quickly and well.

In the meantime we are researching which egine is best suited for an Islander 36, where to get one and how to pay for it!!

My parents and I have done several interviews this week:

CNN

BBC

Australia Channel 9

National Public Radio

HD TV

KLOS Mark & Brian Show

Ventura Lifestyles

Support has been amazing. There have been so many people volunteering their time and support. I am blown away!

Must get this posted and get back to work. Hopefully will post again soon.

Again, sorry for the trouble. Hope to see you all on the 14th!!!

Cheers,
Zac
