As you all know, our trip is almost here and the prepping has been CRAZY. As Dad, Matthew and I (Little Kelly) have been working like mad men to get this trip up and running, Dad has to get most of the Spotlight.

Where will this adventure take us?? Well, the ultimate destination is Nassau in the Bahamas to stay for a few nights in Atlantis, but we will be making tons of little stops all the way down the eastern coast to Florida.

Now, to talk about how we have prepared for the trip. . . We purchased a rescue sled that surfers use to rescue other surfers from getting crushed by big waves out in California.

They attach it to a jet ski (like we will be doing to ours, obviously =P), and fly out to surfers in distress and pick them up. The one that we acquired was also designed for carrying scuba gear, spearfishing gear, or just general equipment for different things. But my dad, being the somewhat mad scientist he is, came up with a design that would hold our surfboards, dive gear, and camping equipment.

Now if that didn’t sound crazy enough, he converted a pelican box (impervious to water and the elements) to house all of our electronics and use a SOLAR PANEL hooked up to a wheelchair battery to charge up all of our electronics when we stop at night. Yes, it seems crazy, but on a trip like this where we may not be able to get to a hotel with outlets, its going to save our butts if we need our cellphones or something of that nature.

Now having read all of the things we have done, I think you deserve some pictures. . . Here they are:

Thank you for being so interested in our trip. It makes happy to know that we have somewhat of a fan base you could say, that will be following us on our trip to the Bahamas. Many more posts to come. . .

Over and out.
