No Place Like Home. Finally!

We are now officially living on our boat, Casstaway! So what if it took us almost a year to get to this point? Good things come to those who wait, right?

Like everything else on this journey there were a few detours along the way (like the 6 weeks early appearance of our twin grand babies) that put us a little off schedule.

But we’re now aboard. And figuring out how to dig ourselves out of the mounds of “stuff” we have that must be stowed within our approximately 250 square feet of interior living space – our teeny tiny house on water.

So, in between Todd working feverishly on his real job (project deadlines looming), we’ve been going crazy trying to narrow things down to the essentials, maintain a few “homey touches” and find creative ways to store everything. After a week and a half and my making several trips to Walmart, some Amazon shopping (Todd wonders why I had to buy stuff at the same time I was getting rid of stuff – I didn’t even try to explain), and countless trips to and from our storage unit, we have almost attained some level of residential sanity. 
Here are a few “before” shots. “After” pictures coming soon…
Somewhere underneath all that stuff are two armchairs and a galley (kitchen).

The shower in our head (bathroom).
The master cabin (bedroom).

And Gracie? She is already becoming quite the boat dog. Other than having to put some non-slip treads on the companionway steps, we’ve so far made no special accommodations. She still won’t stay alone on the boat but loves to go with us everywhere, becoming Miss Popularity among marina residents and guests. During her most recent happy hour visit to the marina bar she even charmed a date to a landlubber’s home for some yard time. And an invitation to join Rotary.

Naps are better with the motion of the ocean.
