What a week. My parents came to visit on Sunday the 1st. We left that afternoon for our first big boating trip. We went out and up to Salem, MA since my sis wanted to go there real bad. It was a ton of fun, if not a bit nerve wracking, but we made it just fine and it was great to dock in a different marina for a night. The ride back was more relaxed, since we knew what we were doing a bit better. Then, on the morning of the 4th of July we took the boat through the locks system up the Charles River and anchored out for 24 hours! It was sweet. Disasters happened, both with our boat and with others on the river, but through some improvising and brainstorming all crises were averted and a great time was had. I can perhaps explain more later, but I'm in a hurry for now. It was lots of fun and we feel like we've finally been able to really use our boat for boating and not just for living... it was awesome. Pics to come, hopefully.

Your blog is fantastic! I hesitate to post a comment with questions until I have read them all. My lady and I are planning to be on the water in two years however we have not found a boat. You two remind me of us. How much seafaring experience did you both have before the big decision? Congrats on everything. I'm envious. :)
Heya, Thanks for the compliments. You can ask whatever, it doesn't matter if it's posted somewhere else.
As per seafaring experience... none! haha. It was very amusing. We are both from the midwest and had been on lots of little lakes with small fishing boats and stuff, but thats about it. We moved on the boat and had been on for about a week without taking it out yet when we went out on a new liveaboard friend's sailboat. While casting off from the dock I said, "hey, is this a good time to mention neither of us has ever been on the ocean?" hahaha, our friend cracked up that we bought a boat and had never been out. However, the marina people are so friendly and stuff that getting people to go along with us out to sea and show us the ropes has been super easy. We've learned a good bit in just one summer and so far LOVE the life. There is nothing better than casting off for the weekend and sitting offshore of an island while swaggering around half drunk on corona and rum!
