Small Boat Projects
This month we did some minor boat projects, including waterproofing the bimini (which worked so well that it nearly destroyed the bimini), building and installing shelves in our spice cabinet to maximize storage space, and upgrading some of the flooring from LEGO-texture to a nice smooth surface.
January Wrap-Up
A summary of our January adventures, including party lights, a campout with the VW bus club, and a legendary birthday bloody mary.
When Will This Snow Melt
When we moved aboard a boat, we knew we’d be giving up some comforts of home, but neither of us expected to be dealing with this level of cold and snow. We can’t stop asking “When will this snow melt?!”
Historic Snowfall in Charleston
We’ve seen ten snowflakes since moving down to Charleston, but the year we live on a boat is the year we get historic snowfall in Charleston. We try to keep our toes from freezing despite seeing temps below 40°F on board!
Family Visit and We Screw Up Docking
Merry Christmas! My family came down from Michigan to celebrate a slightly warmer Christmas. The weather isn’t fully cooperating, but it’s still warmer than Michigan.
We’re Taking on Water!
We’re having serious water problems lately. First, our bimini leaks like a sieve, when it rains there isn’t a dry spot in the cockpit. Then, we open the locker with our starting battery, and find that it is full of water, and water is still coming in! We’re taking on water!
BOAT FIRE
We had just arrived home after being gone all weekend. We got everything unpacked and put away, and Kyle had just gotten dinner started when there was a frantic pounding on our hull. “There’s a boat on fire, call 911!”
Snow and a Weekend Getaway
The winter darkness has settled in – no sunlight, no sleep and no fun! So we took this as a sign to get off the boat for a weekend getaway. Of course, even our vacations are mind-numbingly functional, wait until you see what our destination was.
