It's hard to be in boatyard limbo! I hope we get to meet some day!Tammy Swarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06779759048984133676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5377250274517734866.post-31934143671428916032018-03-21T10:13:56.261-04:002018-03-21T10:13:56.261-04:00Thanks Karl!

The lure of beautiful anchorages and nobody around for miles is still too strong. Your idea is a good one though. That's sort of what we were thinking of when we reach Panama. Park the boat and live in a little place in the cool mountains, maybe do some land traveling. I just hope we continue to have options for a while longer. We miss you guys!

Live ashore for a while and then decide.Karl and Janhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11689985074413135231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5377250274517734866.post-41688429511000021212018-03-20T09:36:11.125-04:002018-03-20T09:36:11.125-04:00One small thing that might help you - we have a co...One small thing that might help you - we have a collapsible tub that fits in our sink that we wash dishes in. When we were on the hard earlier this year we rigged our five gallon bucket on our four-to-one preventer at the end of the boom pushed out. We emptied the dishpan into the bucket on deck and then once a day lowered it to the ground and poured it out in the bushes. Made it much easier to deal with.<br /><br />I totally get your last statement. We've been living in a boatyard for most of the last two years and even though only a couple months were on the hard, it's still demoralizing. We're almost ready to leave and spent a few days on the hook recently and it was life-affirming. Take a deep breath and know that we're all sending positive energy your way.<br /><br />Deb<br />SV Kintala <br />www.theretirementproject.blogspot.com Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01093436662653044390noreply@blogger.com
