86 Items in 389 Days

We are under 400 days till we can leave on our adventure! A week ago, Bill and I sat down and made a list of things that should be done to the boat and things that we would like to do to the boat. we call this our punch list. The punch list currently has 86 items on it. Now when I say it has 86 items on it, the items range from securing a safety deposit box to removing/installing new toilet system. The items could take an hour or several weeks/months. On average, we've been adding a new item every 3 1/2 days.

The punch list process is an ongoing addition, prioritization, and completion of items on the list. We try to discuss the list every night. This gives us an opportunity to share learnings and progress, as well as adding and re-prioritizing items when necessary. Theses discussions helps us keep the boat in the forefront as well handle daily activities. The last thing we would want is to get to August 2010 and realize that we have half of the list still to do.
