Still not aboard

Ahoy, or aaarrrr.

Well Hoople took 2 weeks off to get the boat ready to live on, a few thoughtful things. Jed was helping and looked like getting some work out of being at the ship yard, nothing much seems to be happening.

IT RAINED it seems that this year will be like last where it only rained at the start of the wet then rains for a long part of the dry season, which kind of stops it being a DRY season.

New davit, boarding platform and steps, space for the Engell fridge, until we get another one for that space, one that works this time.

I have a list of things to do to the boat already, the storage across from the bathroom is going to be ripped out and new better storage put in, the front cabin turned into a bed, with shelves and sliding doors put in.

Can't do the big cabin until we look into changing the rudder and stuff, but it's on the list. As for the bathroom........

So 2010 never having owned a yacht, "I don't want  project." so naive right?

Anyway soon we'll be living on it and have money for it instead of rent etc, so the project can continue, possibly forever.

How fantastic.

Moving on

 On to the boat where I hope I can study, and only have a tiny bit of housework. Not a flash boat club, but bathrooms and laundry, and food and drinks at the club after work, should work out.
It's happening, packing up the rental house, and moving all our stuff into storage. Our place in another state sold, so it's time to live aboard and save save save.
The packing is always the worst part of a move for me, but I choose to move. I've been waiting for this move for so long, when it wasn't possible, and our poor boat was turning into a reef, at the marina $$$$. Then when it was possible and should have happened, again, again. Now we are moving and trying to get the boat ready for living on.


So packing and getting a kayak, because being fat and unfit and having a chronic disease, and I feel like I'm just finishing a little bout of Ross River from the cold I've had for weeks, is a very sound plan. I know right, what could go wrong?
These triumphs and disasters to follow.
