We’re here
We’ve scrambled around the for the past four days moving a house-load of junk into a boat that’s smaller than our master bedroom. We’re exhausted to say the least.

Oh Lord, 13 days and counting until I have to have this boat in a somewhat “habitable” condition. I haven’t been posting much, because I’ve pretty much been spending every waking moment working on the boat. I see my wife maybe 1 day out of 6 lately.
Suki and I faced off for Car Ride – Round Two on Saturday. We were in a different car, but the result was the same. Hopefully we’ll only have to do this a couple more times before we move permanently aboard. Once she’s onboard she’s totally content to cruise around below and on deck.

This weekend was the Strictly Sail Pacific boat show in Oakland. Jeni and I have been coming here every year for about the last 6 years, but this year was different. We finally have a boat!
Oh, what a cold and rainy day it was! With provisions and camping gear loaded onto the boat earlier in the week Jeni and I drove down to Richmond Saturday, arriving at KKMI’s dock at 0630 ready to start delivery day. The repairs completed (albeit, at a cost much more than expected) we were ready […]
We made the six and a half hour drive to Marina del Rey yesterday to meet Denny and Steph on Spellbound. When we met Denny back in February we really hit it off with him. He’s a great guy. His wife Steph is equally cool. We arrived at the boat and they were very gracious and […]
Mr. Broker and I flew to San Diego for the survey and haul out. We got onboard before everyone else showed up and the first thing I noticed was the canvas had all been changed from burgundy to navy blue. Mr. Broker unfurls the genoa, which was brand new, and we’re starting off on a […]
