I don’t know what happened to our day, but it’s over. We played with Ouest’s friend for a while, took the bus to town and shopped a bit, came home and made tacos, went to the beach and the playground, showered, and went to bed. Not a lick of boat … Read More

The boat list begins. Today I started on the battery issues, cleaned the bilge, and met with the welder to design new davits. The bilge has been something bothering me forever. There is just a ton of gunk in there because the cockpit lockers actually drain from outside into the … Read More

We did some rearranging today. Ouest got the boot from the big bedroom, and now Lowe is in. Where does that leave Ali and I? Scattered around the living room like throw pillows is where. Eventually one of the rooms will be reconfingured a bit to include a second bed, … Read More

Lowe is outgrowing his clothes at an alarming rate. It’s pretty clear we’re going to have big kids. We’ve cut the feet out of a couple of his six month-old pajamas to try and extend their life a bit, but mainly we’re moving on to the nine month stuff. Ali is already … Read More
