We talk about settling in when it is in regards to a new house, well we’re settling in to our new home – there are more similarities than differences…
November 1st – Moving Day… you know that pile of stuff that you don’t put on the moving truck – it’s not that much, just some stuff to put in the trunk and bring with you…..We all know that small pile of stuff requires multiple trips or a van – for us, it meant a three and half hour ride from NJ to MD with things piled high on everyone’s lap. You can only plan so much ; )
November 2nd – Provisioning… well we didn’t start that until afternoon, when we had finished stowing those “few things” we brought down. In addition, there was one remaining maintenance item, held over beyond the target date. We enjoyed a delicious dinner in our new home, with one extra uninvited guest!! Imagine sitting around your dinner table, and out of the corner of your eye, seeing a furry animal walk by your feet – yes, the local boatyard cat liked what she smelled and hopped aboard to say, “Hi!” You might think that this is not a big deal, but remember, we’re on a boat – furry things on boats that you don’t bring on just don’t belong!!!!
November 3rd – Last Minute Stuff… the maintenance item wasn’t done until noon and our first leg is a a good 7 or 8 hours – so we decided to stay in the marina for one more night as the cold front passes, and we’re off first thing tomorrow morning for Solomon’s Island.
In all honesty, moving aboard was as crazy as you’d expect, we’re trying to add pieces of normalcy where we can, and settling in just fine!
More to come!
Our Intermezzo 
Sad to hear you didn’t take the cat on you excursion and drop it off on you way home. Could’ve been a raccoon!

I am so excited for you all. This will truly be the beginning of the rest of your lives. “With each ending, there’s always a new beginning.” Love your commitment to YOLO, make it count. Brings back memories of when my mom and dad took me, youngest of 4 kids, with them and home schooled me for several years as we traveled by motor home across all of Canada and every state in the US. I’ve never forgotten how that shaped me as a child and I’ve always found a way to use what I learned. Can’t wait to hear more!!
