There might be a positive impact of the virus on our intended trip: the downturn in the world economy will put a damper on the number of boats that have been crowding into the South Pacific anchorages. This was going to be an especially busy year with the World Arc under way. All those boats were forced to reroute through Hawaii. They won't be back next year. And, all the PPJ boats that would have been preparing to go next spring and can still afford to go might be forced to wait another year by their inability to prepare. It's all speculation, but probably reasonable. Then again, what if this blasted thing hangs on and some of the countries don't open their boarders by next spring? I'll have to decide if it's worth it to leave my boat where it is for two years - two years of not being able to use my boat. Ack! So much uncertainty. I guess I don't have to make any decisions now.

You are not alone in your thoughts about all of this uncertainty. It is the new normal! Talk about living the questions - good practice but so hard to do!
