Hello everyone! Well, we have one day left on shore. We are moving onto the boat tomorrow, ready or not. We've been very busy since the last blog posting with Graduation, grad parties, family gatherings, cleaning the house out, final closing on the house, and pushing the boat work to a point where we could launch. We've been floating since Thursday. What a great feeling. We still have a least a few weeks of work to complete the remaining upgrades and electronics installations.
Life on the water is very different than what we're all use to. If you didn't like camping as a kid you wouldn't like this life style either. You have very little personal space and no room for clutter. If it's not tied down or put away expect to find it on the floor in a heap when you get back from a sail. We're still struggling with the reduction of shoes,clothes, small tools, and various other bags of "stuff". In the coming weeks these will all surely reach more managable volumes. We're planning to take as many "shake down" trips as necessary to ensure all systems are working properly and our confidence levels are peaked. The actual sail away date is now listed as TBD.
