Moving ashore ...

We're finally moving ashore.  Pen has been cleaning the house for a week, rearranging furniture, and doing a myriad of other chores.  I've been trying to finish up a paper for my conference in Finland next month as well as get odds and ends done on Alizee.  I got Bertha the dinghy off the davits yesterday and got it into an inflatables shop for some work ... having the bilge pump repaired tomorrow.

So, Alizee is becoming a "second home" of sorts, which we'll visit whenever ... probably more visits in the Fall, when the weather cools off.  It's in the 90s now, and sometimes with the humidity feels like the low 100s ... not something this California bred boy is used to, for sure.

It is bittersweet moving off Alizee.  Both Pen and I have really enjoyed the closeness we've had on the boat, and we've had such wonderful times while cruising the Bahamas this year.  But things change ... I think that is the greatest constant in life.  Anyhow, more later.
