The boat's at anchor.Everytime we look at each other it's with a huge silly grin.
If Maia is privvy to the grin she slaps us with a rather hard 'high-5'
The reason, if you've not been reading, is because we've spent the past 4.5 years rebuilding the boat. And the past month moving aboard. And the past week planning to leave 'tomorrow'.
But now, here we are. Swinging on the hook. No car, no dock, no home to return to. We're officially nomads.
On top of that good news our first sail out was probably the most uneventful yet. The engine worked brilliantly and the new sail has a great shape. Aside from a rather lumpy (equipment testing) wind against current start (which made the cat rather sick and caused a water tank to spring a leak - more on that another time we're celebrating!) the sail was perfect.
Today we caught redrock crab, went for a kayak and lazed about. Told Maia this is her new life.
YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY YAY!
