Still old, fat, perhaps a little less hopeful, sometimes more. I've got pretty good at the kayak, I spent some time out on the water working out what will tip it, not much really so I'm pretty comfortable to go to the pontoon and get off or to drag it up the ramp, love it.
We went sailing on Sunday but it was fairly choppy and not much fun, Tibbers (cat) got sea sick again, but liked the comfy new carpet in the cockpit to snuggle up near her daddy.
It's good to do that though, not the sick or snuggling stuff the choppy sailing, find new places for everything that went flying or rolling around the cabin.
I really think this would be such a fun life without a job, but it wouldn't because there'd be no money to keep the boat afloat. Planning for the future should have been sorted before the future was almost the present.
I love the boat with storage and clear decks, but it's been a few days since saying something, so the crap is creeping back on deck, that will stop. It's not because I'm a little particular about cleanliness and clear spaces, it's boat safety; I know right, that is so perfect for me.
We're back to two cats, I miss Jinx but my cat is pretty happy now, I hope she wants to be a pirate, pretty sure Jinx did, meaaarrrhhhow.
I now have to  leave for work, it's a bit rainy and that means wet weather gear etc, but really that no hassle it's just that I don't really want to leave the boat. It's so relaxing here, even working is nicer here, just caught up with some stuff that was getting very behind, now to go there and get work on my mind, not what I want/need to do here.

So aboard 3 months n still alive and together, barely but that's smokes not life aboard. We have some storage and plans for more, it's happenng. It's way better now that things have a place to go, and every time we go out we work out what works and what gets thrown around the boat, we're learning, the cats are just cowering waiting for shit to go everywhere.

In my head we would finish work, have showers at the club and sit around enjoying the sunset and relaxing with a few drinks. WELL, the club has no screens so that idea sucks, the food is flash but too expensive for regular eating, and it seems that doesn't make we want to drink, just go the fark home.


We have to go ashore for water things,  move the boat to fill tanks all the time, carry 20 litre containers n fill up tanks OR get a desalinator, so looks like that could happen, and a small 12 volt washing machine, it will be good when it happens, we will actually learn to live on the boat. We still have to work so no cabin fever to deal with, but hopefully we learn how to do all the life stuff in this small space. We never have Mormons or Jahovas at the door anymore either!

I love my kayak, it's such a great way to get to shore, sometimes I don't even go ashore I just paddle around enjoying the scenery and quiet time, doesn't feel like exercise because it's so pleasant and relaxing, I think it could be my new hobby.

Time I paddled my bad self to work, can't just stay here dreaming of being a real yachtie  forever.
