I cleaned the floors today too. Easy peasy lemon squeezy.. Kitchen floor is maybe 3x7. Bathrooms are even smaller. These are the pluses of living small..

Laundry Day
All in all, not too exciting but needs to get done.. I was delighted to have a washer/dryer on board. But the excitement was soon deflated. It holds maybe two towels, has a leaking problem and we're not sure where the dryer vents to.. Therefore the marina laundry room is much more efficient. At some point we will remove our sorry W/D and use that space for something much more useful, like a spot to store food and drinks. Margarita mix takes up a lot of space
Gvist's and Elliott's . Good day for a picnic on the water.
Cyn and Andy came with their motor home and toys... Motorcycle and kayaks. As Phil and I learn about the systems of Knot Yet, the Gvist's are learning about their new Motor home. It made for some fun discoveries and what needed to be labeled POS.( piece of sh:t)
Paige had a soccer game about 2 hours away, so they scheduled half their day to swing by and spend the afternoon with us before heading to her game. Paige is quite a great soccer player. And we discovered a very good kayaker too. Jane was rather impressive too.
Again.. Trying to work this blog thing.. Trying to delete on of these photos .. Not having any luck so far.
Knot A Dream/Knot Yet
We truly enjoyed Knot A Dream , she was a great boat and we have many fond memories of friends and travels we had with her.. With each Birthday, there comes physical challenges, and making life easier was/is our goal. So when we knew we wanted to continue with being live-aboards
,
Then to our surprise , my sister from AZ and my Mom came for an evening. It was awesome to see them both!! It was a bit chilly when they were here . So we all remained inside and chatted . Unfortunately, no photos were taken. These are from the month before down in Panama City.
,We both knew,we needed a bit more room. Knot Yet has 10 more feet and tons more room, a floor plan much easier for company to travel with us. We have had a few visitors already.. Still struggling.. This is where I wanted to add a couple more pictures and I'm unable.. Trying another angle. yeah!! I did it... My cousin Kathy and her husband Don, from California, were our first visitors. It was short and sweet.. It was great seeing them as they passed through ,on their way to Pennsylvania for a wedding.
Today... Our story begins again.
We have been living aboard " Knot Yet" since the first of May 2015. She's an Ocean Alexander 456. We are very excited to have her. There is much to learn about her, this area, and our skills on her. Here in Scottsboro Alabama along the Tennessee River is a great place to do just that.
Our Marina is nicely protected from winds and river traffic. It offers many amenities.. laundry, bath house, fuel, bait shop, restaurants , pool, marine repair, golf and campground. Town is close by and one of its claimed to fame is they have " Unclaimed Luggage" store. It's like a huge thrift store on steroids.
Day three. Still learning. It's the cha-cha.. One step forward, two steps back.
My frustration continues as I'm learning. Yesterday , I wrote a lengthy piece of our new beginning. Thought I had saved it to add a few picture to it. However, today it's nowhere to be found. So I will try my luck again and again until I get the swing of this.. Then I'll share this blog. I'm keeping my fingers crossed every time I try to post something. Here goes..
