Bon Voyage Party


MEANT TO BE
HE SAID:  For those of you who asked for The Blog you got it. Introducing to you Meant To Be, this is actually the same exact boat as ours  but not really MTB. A few fun shots from last Saturday's too much fun and too much drunk going away party.  An XL thanks to the Parks' for all of the work. Also a big thanks to all 20 of the drunks who tried to play golf earlier on Sat. - maybe I shouldn't speak for everybody else. We will be on MTB this coming Friday in Cos Cob, Conn., then leaving with El Capitan for our 180 mile trip to Boston. We'll be traveling in the open water to Boston - hope the trip is fun and a learning experience for Pat and me. We will be with the Capt. 2 days then we will be spending most of the next 5 weeks in the Boston Harbor at Hingham Shipyard/Marina. This is where I hope to learn the navigating part of the boat.  My friend Tim Wild will join us from Seattle on June 4 and stay on the boat along with visiting his son who is a nurse in Boston. Tim has been a boating fool for about 25 years and has a ton of great knowledge to share with us.

In the picture of the boys, who in the hell is that in the left corner, any clues Mary??

SHE SAID:  We've been talking about it and planning it for months, and the time has finally come.  Here's our first blog entry.  We will do our best to keep you posted on where we're at and our trial and tribulations as we embark on living on a boat.  It will evolve as we do, so stay tuned.

The biggest boxes have been shipped and should be in CT when we arrive later this week.  We have more boxes that we will travel with us on Friday and they are 90% packed and ready to go.  Major learning:  If you're debating whether or no to take an the item - probably don't take it.  If it's bulky and inexpensive definitely don't take it - you can buy one at your destination.  If it's a hard-to-find, expensive or favorite item consider taking it.
