It's been 1 month

Hard to believe we are having the same weather one month later. . Rain. hmmmm. . if I had a personal astrologer I would have asked if this was a good Fall to move on a boat. I don't so here we are. I type sitting in the cock pit because we do not get a signal in the cabin, one day I will get an antennae but it's not today. We have not turned the boat around yet so we are heating the cabin with a tiny elec. heater, to most this does not make sense. It takes 2 elec. cords to get power below. . .with the boat in the slip nose first we only have one cord plugged in and that is for daily use. Most of the time I spend tripping the switches because I am trying to run 2 things on one side of the boat at the same time. Just like my house growing up, I can't have the heater running if I want to make a cup of coffee.  .I can't use the microwave if Kevin has his sleep machine going. . trust me that is all that is plugged in. I have become an electric minimalist. Because we pay for the elec in our slip fee I can have all the lights on at one time. . .big deal they are  little dome lights. Since Kevin has not put a light in the cock pit yet I now wear a headband with a light attatched, good thing we are the only ones in the Marina. Why we are not sailing South is beyond me,

I believe the big event of turning the boat around and taking the sails down for the Winter will happen this Sat. Then we can turn on the heating system that is on the boat. . until we hit the really cold weather in Jan. or tomorrow.

I ask myself everyday. . Am I crazy. . .or is this the part of the Dream where you wake up to go to the bathroom and miss it all together. 

The Great part of this adventure is, I have Mastered the game "Go Fish" and am ready to start playing "War" with Ava and Papa tonight. We will start decorating our sea shells "Martha Stewart" style next week. I have learned to sleep with 2 cats laying on top of me to keep warm and not have to go to the bathroom because the bathroom has no heat right now.

As I stop because I have no feeling in my fingers you can say. . ."Yes Nita, You are Crazy or that is one Crazy Dream" !
