We don't have a generator and irons use a lot of power!<br /><br />Cyndi, a surprising amount of people 'live aboard' and have full time jobs. Hans does a lot of consulting so he can work off the boat. We're going to give it a three month try to see if this is what we really want to do!<br /><br />Schwang, we will tether Hans' phone for internet access so I'll be able to blog. I'm trying to come up with a good name for a sailing blog too. <br /><br />Dog Foster Mom, I always thought a house boat would be fun. Our catamaran is pretty close to this!<br /><br />Ken n Cheryl, I've been following some sailing sites that are also making this trek. It seems like a lot of them have mechanical/engine issues. I don't even want to go there!!!<br /><br />TE, Since I know for a fact that 'Wich' only had daughters I'm sure he wasn't your unpolitically correct visitor. Maybe he has a brother??? Too funny!laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17174697892947430149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1451308836024658070.post-45156928479386814112010-04-14T18:20:44.982-04:002010-04-14T18:20:44.982-04:00Laura!

I'm helping his son (not quite as raging Republican) run for non-partisan Town Council here. The dad came to a meeting at my house. If he'd made it into the kitchen to see the Obama stuff on my fridge, he'd have "wun scweaming fwom the wwoom!" Seriously, I was channelling your Elmer Fudd moment. (Not that it matters I'm a Democrat. Elmer Dad would have hated "the opposition" no matter what side he approached from.) Hope I don't offend your readers.

Your boat is awesome! <br /><br />Thanks for leaving a comment on my blog post about Butterscotch.

I have a friend at home in Louisiana who has lived on his boat (48 foot sailboat) for most of his adult life. He's married - no kids - and he and his wife both have jobs, but when the weekend comes, you can find them out in the Gulf somewhere, livin' the life!<br /><br />I say enjoy, because life's just too stinking short to not do the things you love!<br /><br />XOXO,<br /><br />CyndiCyndihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06390176368906851223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1451308836024658070.post-460271404550686862010-04-12T07:12:22.339-04:002010-04-12T07:12:22.339-04:00Wow, what is the sewing going to be like on a boat...Wow, what is the sewing going to be like on a boat?
