I’m going to be completely honest here. Last week, I nearly went completely stir crazy working on new t-shirt designs on the boat. It most certainly is possible to work there, but it is also most certainly not a productive environment. Brian continues to point out to me that, if I want to make art, [...]

Our two combined water tanks (approx. 65 gallons) provide Illusion with anywhere from four-six weeks of water depending on how often we cook and need to wash dishes. The faucet on our sink (as on most boats) only runs as long as you twist the knob, which can make washing dishes more difficult, but greatly [...] …and consequently when not to. I will be the first to admit that I have cursed our boat countless times for its shortcomings and all of the work that Illusion has demanded of us (due to past neglect), but I have also grown to appreciate and love my little floating home. I enjoy life at anchor. [...] On Fridays that the Riverdogs (Charleston’s baseball team) have a home game, the stadium shoots off fireworks over the river.

Maybe it was the small garden that we moved to the front of the [...] And we now have running water! (do a little dance) hooray! Thanks to Larry Muething, after two months on the boat, we finally have the ability to use the faucets and both sinks. This is a big step up in the world of boat living. This means multitudes to me. Specifically, this means no more washing [...] Someone needs to tell the weather to cooperate. It’s been rainy and windy for the past three weeks, and it sure hasn’t made boat life any easier. On the bright side, at least we know where all of the leaks are. Brian took off all of the stanchions that were bolted to the deck in [...] It’s been a little over a week since my last post and in case you were wondering what progress has been made: Hooray for small miracles and teamwork. After a week and a half on the boat, we have managed to accomplish a few tasks in [...] Nothing about moving is easy, especially if you are down-sizing to fit into a small space (like a 37′ sailboat). We made it this far though, which is a feat in itself. Whew! For the next few weekends Brian and I will be leisurely organizing and reorganizing, unpacking, and trying to find convenient homes for [...] |
