President Elect J'Biden

 

OK, we knocked off another presidential race prediction. Running two for two for the last couple of elections. It's nice to see how graceful and cooperative the looser has been.  It is even nicer that he is no longer dominating the airwaves. Its a slow reduction of chaos.

I've noticed that a number of the conservative media hosts have had trouble pronoucing the first name of Vice President elect Harris. - Kamala. At the same time seems like all tbe talking heads are getting the pronunciation of President elect Biden correct - J'Biden.

I was planning on going into a deep analyses of how the country ended up voting roughing 80 million to 74 million, and how close 3/4 of the country didn't  vote with the left progressive side of the Democratic party. But if I did that then this wouldn't be a cruising blog and I'd risk loosing my reader. It's pretty easy to loose your single reader if you come down on both sides of an issue.

Back to actual cruising plans, we fly to Kuala Lumpur on 11/30. We'll spend 14 days locked up in hotel. Should be out of quarantine and back to Langkawi around Dec 16, if all goes well.  Our current plan is to launch Georgia and repair all the things that broke cause they didn't get used for the last 6 months. Then we'll  head across the Indian Ocean in late Jan. Hopefully with a stopover in Chagos and then on to the Seychelles. Might add the Maldives to the list. At least that is 2021 Plan A. Given that we had to go to the Greek letters for Plan id's in 2020 in a similar pattern as the Atlantic hurricane season naming did, I'm not holding out for much in Plan A to actually make it to execution.

We had a fleeting thought about changing plans when we heard all of tbe good news on vaccines. Maybe we should stay put and wait for a Covid vaccine. On second thought ---------- that would put us sitting out what looks to be the worst of the infections peaking over the next few months. We might as well spend that time in a place with a far lower infection rate.

Next up, a blog from our quarantine hotel.

Is better than an ICU Christmas
