Quick {next boat} Update....

I did it! I broke the cardinal rule of looking at boats, I got attached and now it's a no go. Back to the drawing board. Ugh!

I'll admit it, we were enticed by that 40 footer with a great price, but even with its great price it was still pushing our budget beyond its max. We decided to use that blasted hindsight everyone's always talking about....so, we retracted our offer and walked away. 

On the flip side, we found a 36' that was about to be put on the market....saw it, liked it, swooped in and put in a more budget friendly offer on it! If this one goes through, then you'll get all the deets, but until then, I think it's best to keep things under wraps. Otherwise, the pity party might get a little extreme! Haha ;) 

We've moved, again....

The box is what I have so affectionately named our temporary dwelling. This little cabin is where we will be taking up residence for at least, the next four weeks.

 We have got to find another boat and fast! 

Sure, I could take pictures to show you the inside, but really, it would just be one picture because it is that small! I will give you a vivid description however, that should prove to be far more enlightening! When you walk through the door, on the right wall {of the box} there's a light colored faux wood desk accompanied by two light colored wicker chairs, complete with green vinyl, circa 1960's, I'm sure! It is followed by a tv stand {that I'm pretty sure is covering the water heater} an uber small TV along with an even smaller DVD player. Now we are at the back wall of the box, where there's a super small & thankfully, closed off bathroom. Its depth is as wide as a shower stall and there's a toilet across from the shower. Come out of the tiny bathroom and there's a "kitchenette" with a little bar sink, microwave, itty-bitty coffee pot, a couple of cabinets & a dorm sized refrigerator. And lastly, on the left wall of the box, we have a lovely set of.....wait for it....bunk beds, oh yeah, you read that right! :/ There was a little joking on "who gets the top bunk" but all joking aside, I can't remember the last time I actually slept in a bunk bed and here I am, mid-thirties, sleeping in a bunk bed. And just in case you were wondering, no they are not the kind you can remove the top part of and put side by side, not that there would be room for that anyways, in the box. :[

In fact, hubs & I were talking the other night & he said it is actually smaller than the living space of our 30' sailboat. So there you have it! 

There may not be any sailboats in our immediate view {literal & metaphorically speaking} but one thing remains the same, we still have incredibly amazing sunsets, like this one from last night!!

Sunsets & Sailboats, Tan Lines & Mast Climbs

We went for a walk the other night and I took my camera along in hopes of capturing some good photos.....glad I had it with me because it was an eventful walk and I think I managed to snag a few good shots! :)

Sunsets & Sailboats....

These two, go hand-in-hand at our marina where we have lovely sunsets such as this one, most every evening! 

Tan lines....

Joe has acquired some serious tan lines on his feet.....gotta love the flip-flop life!!

I, on the other hand, have always been happy to be barefoot, so my tan lines don't show, quite like his do. :) ....what does show up, is the fact that I am in major need of a pedicure! :/  {don't look too closely}

 

& Mast Climbs....

At the end of our walk we ran into our new friends on s/v imagine. When asked if either of us were willing to go up the mast to retrieve their GoPro, fearless Joe was more than willing to be hoisted up.....the near 60' mast. I was glad he volunteered so quickly so I could {nervously} sit by on the dock and  capture this moment. 

.....going up,

 .....and up,
 
 .....still going,

 .....& all the way to the top of the mast!!

All in all, I'd say that was a pretty & productive walk!!! 

Delicious mornings
