Log Entry: May 8
        
         The last couple of days before our departure were still hectic, even after
        working to get ready for almost two months. Besides the boat we still had crew to
        worry about. We had been looking for another person to join us on our journey to
        Portugal. Well, we ended up with two. A couple of great young people with several
        years of experience around and on boats and they are easy to live with. We actually
        met them at Falmouth as we were looking for our crew. We saw them almost daily
        and developed a relationship that grew over a few weeks. We were very happy for
        them when they told us that they found a 47 foot Oyster that was on its way to
        England that was looking for two people to help with the delivery. They signed on. 
              As it turned out they were in a slip two boats away from us in Jolly Harbour,
        Antigua when their captain informed them that the boat was sold....the day before
        they were to sail. With this we decided to make room for a fifth person on
        Boundless.  So, Christopher and Kelli are joining us for our trip to Portugal. They
        helped to rearrange the stores and consolidate everything one more time before we
        left. We picked my cousin Dick up on Tuesday and everybody was ready to go.
         The World Cruising organization organized a party/gathering on each of the last
        three nights for of all of the 18 boats leaving from Antigua. The last few days were
        filled with topping off fuel and final provisioning, stowing and securing everything
        on board and getting ready to make the jump.
