Last post from Duncan Street!

Our life in complete disarray is about to change venues! Somehow, the stuff we need to have on the boat will migrate its way to the boat, and the stuff that's still in the house will dissipate to a variety of locations (lots of garbage to put out on Wednesday), and by Thursday, we will be ON OUR BOAT. YAY!!!

And with luck, our tenants will be happily stashing their fab stuff in our clean house. Julie and Joshua have been so accommodating (who has tenants who say "how can we make your life easier?"), and Randy will be back and forth using the power tools in the basement for a while. They also have a lovely boat, now on our mooring in the Arm (how many rental houses come with a mooring?), so they have a very sympathetic view of our situation.

Anna and Laura came over to have a look at the progress on the boat today. Anna, the non-boating member of the family, laid face down on the deck in the sun, and tried to picture the hammocks hung and a view of a secluded lagoon. Laura was a bit more enthusiastic about the renovations (she has skills).

Tom has a slightly sprained ankle but is still able to keep up with the painting marathon. He paused long enough to show the girls his "room," which is a driv-fit for our 6'3" lad.


This time next week, I might be driving around the area near the yacht club, looking for wi-fi so I can post an update. We're really looking forward to making the shift, even though we'll be kind of camping out at the boat while the carpentry continues, and the electrical stuff gets sorted, and a bunch of other details get dealt with.

Ironic moment to savour: the fella that sold us the expensive insurance for the house is interested in buying the Volvo. Stay tuned for details.
