Our first sailing adventure with 'Jackie O' was from Biscayne Bay up the Miami River where we had the boat hauled out to be inspected. Unfortunately, we were only able to motor back and forth from the two points because the fuel tanks don't work yet, but we did have the brand new sails up for a portion of the trip. We are very happy to announce that after a positive and thorough inspection by Norseman Ship Building Corp, we have accepted the boat and will attain possession on Tuesday Sept 23rd.
On Saturday Sept 27th, Nate and I will be living on the Isle of Venice (which doesn't resemble the Italian city at all), in a boat slip for about a month. The owners of the slip are actually from Calgary! We discovered that they own a home in Roxboro which is the community next to Mission, our former home. Such a small world! They have been very generous and will allow us to stay free of charge for a week just because we're Canadians! Ha! I guess we Canucks really do look out for one another. This is such a wonderful gift as already we are running over budget and we've barely begun! YIKES!!!!
In the meantime, we'll be continuing to work out with the TRX, swimming in the pool, walking the beach and riding our new bikes which we purchased at a used bike store after giving back our expensive rental car. Ah, the life of a pauper.
