(or how to move onto a sailboat)
With the advent of our 50th birthdays came the usual sorts of life evaluations that one goes through. At what have I succeeded? What contributions have I made? What do I have left that I want to do before I die? Living on the water was high on both our lists.
For any who share the dream, and for our family members who might not understand, this is our story. We don't know where it will take us, but welcome along for the ride!
I did make them. If you go back a few posts I have the list of materials I used. I bought a Sailrite LZ1 machine a few years back and I've used it a lot on this boat so far.
You did a fantastic job on those cushions. Can I send our old ones to you, or would you rather spend some time in Florida with your sewing machine? If you start with the V berth, you can sleep in there. Take as much time as you need :)
Yeah I got the same reaction from a bunch of people at the marina who want me to do theirs lol. Unfortunately I have to finish Kintala's winter projects first!
Thanks Callum! Welcome to the blog. I see you're in the UK. We would love to make the crossing some day to the UK but age and/or time may prevent it. I may have to live vicariously through your site!
