Well wanted to share what a crazy week this has been. We moved up our plans of
living aboard and taking off cruising by a whole year. So this week we
sold, gave away or otherwise got rid of all our stuff. We nearly had a fight in our front yard over my full size tool chest filled with tools which I gave away (I kept the good ones, of course).
We've succesfully emptied the house and just loaded up the cars with what was left of the
food and all the other stuff that we didn't know what else to do with. The
boat has been fully loaded up with everything we need and everything we don't. We ran a bit short of time and gave up on sorting stuff or even organizing things so now we'll have to dig out the
boat again and get things organized. I'm sure it was amusing to the neighbors but at one point I just opened up the
hatch to the port ama and was literally throwing bags of clothes and blankets from the port side of the boat (it's 22ft from side to side btw!) to land in the open
hatch and make their way down inside somewhere (can't wait to go through all that stuff).
Anyway this is it, we have no house anymore just a boat and two cars (anyone want to buy a car or two?).
I'm fairly proud of ourselves and our boat since we still float above the
water line by a good amount though it is at quite an odd angle since most everything has been piled into the aft
cabin... Details we'll have to
work out later.
