Thanks-Giving Day !

The search for storage space has begun and Brandon has done a fantastic job! My HERO! The whole entire v-berth has been built up about 8" and so the whole bed has become storage space. As well as, a new cabinet also located in front v-berth.

Provisioning has been on-going as it is just too much to think about in one shopping visit. We were scheduled to leave Nov. 28th but just received a contract on our home in Marietta, set to close on Dec. 14th so we will delay shoving off for a few more weeks.

In the interim, we had a wonderful couple of weeks. Our friends Joan and Byrd gave us a beautiful and fun bon voyage party full of well wishes (psyche we are still here). We also visited my sister and her circus of a family in Athens, GA (which is always so much fun!). Then we celebrated turkey day with our boating friends in Wilmington Island, GA, thanks Ted and Noreen for the wonderful food and friendship!

So despite not officially "leaving" we have had many blessings with good friends and family to wish us well and big luck. We truly have God's favor and feel it each and every day!

Love to all! We hope each of you also had a wonderful turkey day.

Making progress

I will quit apologizing for the infrequency of our blog entries.

We have been busy, and making good progress. We did well with our garage sale, so had a few bucks to show for all the useless crap we got rid of. Have been at the boat quite a bit, getting the last big things installed.
Finished the SSB(single sideband radio) and the solar panels. Had to move the wind generator, so had a new pole mount fabricated for it. Got it back from the welder today and have been working on it in between the rainfalls.
Next is to fire up the carpentry skills to build some shelves and storage lockers.
Look forward to finishing the projects so we can get moving. If the weather doesn't slow us down too much, I hope to be done this week. Then we have to provision and store everything.
And then get going!!!

We'll post some pics in the next blog.
