Day 20: We're Home!

We moved on to our boat today! She's in the water and all of our things are on board.
It is a lot like living in a floating dorm room that has an engine.  I have to say the roommate situation is a lot better than when I lived in a dorm though!  
It almost didn't happen.. Again... Just when we were moving the boat to the water, the sky opened up and poured. The guys moving the boat worried that their boss might make them stop if there was lightning.  We had a long, tense moment as the boat went in the water and Tyler checked the stuffing box for leaks.  The rain continued and Cyrus, Zander and I hid (soaking wet) in the rental car while Tyler went over the boat in detail. Eventually the rain stopped and we were able to all get onboard and start unpacking.
Cyrus made a wonderful analogy as he realized that he's never lived in a home other than our home in CO, "it's like getting new shoes and at first you're like, gee- these sure feel weird- but then you get used to them."  Such a great kid.

  3. Yes! Just think, 3 weeks ago, you were sitting on our patio, boatless, homeless, and anxious to get started. Now, here you are in your new home, ready to take on the fun stuff!!
