Boat Life Suits Us

We’re back in St. Pete, as you know. And we love it here. Not only do we love living in St. Pete, but we love living on our boat. After almost a year of living aboard, I’ve come to realize that I really don’t need most of the stuff in those bins we stored in my parents’ garage. As a matter of fact, I don’t even know what’s in most of them anymore. Just some clothes that I wasn’t ready to get rid of at the time, my old stamp collection, family photos, things like that. And yes, they are important to me, but I don’t miss having them. I’m glad they’re still available to me for when we’re done sailing in about 8-10 years (we think). But for right now, they’ll be happy living in the garage, and I’ll be very happy living aboard. In fact, I tell Jeff all the time that I don’t care if we never leave the dock. I’m just happy being onboard. And I’m sticking to that.
