Getting ready

May 15, 2018 By Chari & Ellery

Here we are only a few short days until our shakedown sail and there is still so much to do. I am overwhelmed with all the stuff we need to bring to the boat! Kids sure come with a lot of gear!

We are planning on anchoring nearby so we can get used to living on the boat with two little girls. We anticipate it will be a bit crazy at times and there will be crying I am sure.

Ellery is nearly finished putting the boat back together and is now organizing our things onboard.

Amelia and I joined Ellery on the boat yesterday to discuss storage of our food, clothes and toys.

We are so excited to just get going as this has been so long in the making. So much time and resources has gone into this plan. Just this morning, Maddie asked when we were going sailing and mentioned going on a dingy ride!

I will update more soon about how it all went down! We love questions so please feel free to ask if you have any! We also will post more pictures of the boat soon.

Cheers,

Chari
