In less than 2 weeks from today I will retire after 40 years as a computer geek. Virginia retired over 2 weeks ago and is loving every minute of not commuting to DC on Metro. Now we are working like slaves getting our boat ready for the day we cast off lines from Holiday Hills and head south. With cold weather just around the corner and no heat aboard getting south to Florida via the ICW is priority number one. But we do want to enjoy our journey, there are many places we want to see, stay tuned and we will tell you about those places.
After selling our home of 28 years and all our stuff of 40 plus years, we moved aboard our 37 foot sailboat Shadowfax. Don’t get me wrong we love the boat but going from 2300 square feet to maybe 300 is a huge change. We still have 4 or 5 large boxes of stuff we thought we could not live without at a neighbor’s house but we are totally out of room to put another thing in a locker or under the V-berth or the quarterberth. Virginia purchased some space saving things, in the hanging closets she has hanging organizers to supplement the 4 tiny clothing drawers for t-shirts, socks, shorts. As it is now we have to have both winter and summer clothes, but once we got to the Bahamas we will dump the winter stuff.
More to come.
