The Big Switch - Land to Boat Living

-->

After dinner Tuesday evening in Atlanta with Moly, Matt and Will, we stayed the night and had some early Christmas. What fun to see family over the holidays!

The next morning we bypassed most traffic using I-285 and drove seven hours to Green Cove Springs, FL where Sea Dream was waiting, all shiny and clean.

After unpacking the stuffed car, we settled into our water-borne home once again.

At first we’re always a little disoriented, not quite remembering where things are or where they go but soon we even had our little Christmas tree decorated in the salon. Living aboard also requires really economizing on our water & power usage.

Dee and Brook came over to welcome us and we all had dinner at our favorite Mexican Restaurant with the sassy waitress. 

A heavy rain front came through last night and the temperature dropped 20 degrees to the fifties, with howling wind but we still have sunshine today. Louie is enjoying his Frisbee runs with Mike in the big field at Reynolds Park as we settle in, once again, to living on aboard Sea Dream.
