I will eagerly follow your progress. Its an inspiration. I have gone back and read many threads in TF about becoming liveaboards, downsizing clutter, etc and they have been extremely helpful. After last month's great Trawlerfest we have figured out the boat we want to buy but still have to sell the house and get rid of a lot of stuff. I plan on cheating quite a bit by storing a lot of things in our huge barn. We will sell that when we come ashore some day - hopefully not for a long time.

5 days to departure. Still so much to do. Down to giving away the last of the furniture.
Sat. We had my youngest son, his wife and our newest grand baby over. Saying goodbye to them for who knows how long was really tough. River is only 2 months old and will grow and change so much by next time we see her.
These are the hardest parts of shoving off but, has to be done. Sunnier days lie ahead.

We cooled it down here a bit in SW FL so it would not be as much of a shock for you
But you better hurry getting closer to lent and we are going to put you on restriction for Lent
Keep us informed
Dear Friar George and Betty Jo
I must say you surely are getting things well readied for the Captain and Admiral to begin new life excursions with great adventures. It's the energy from people such as you two that helps keep TF on top of the pleasure boating enjoyment game.
Can't wait to learn more as you guys proceed toward water-filled ecstasy!
I'd say that TF and both of you fit hand n' glove.
Forward, never look back... stone does not float... Just ask Medusa!
May health be yours due to fun and joy in marine life/doings.
Happy Boat-Search Days!

Greetings,
Mr. frg. Not much of a load. Would you have been better to rent a shopping cart or a little red wagon?

Welcome to Florida! Not all Florida beaches are unfriendly to dogs.

God I hope not. Sunrise was so pretty this morning. Time to get moving further south.
All it takes is one person to not pick up after their dog to ruin it for everyone else. Having stepped in dog poo on a beach a few times over the years I can appreciate what the lifeguard was enforcing.
We have always had a dog, one time two, and since we take responsibility for them it irks us, too, when we come across no-dog or leash-only requirements at wide open spaces like beaches or parks. But I can (grudgingly) appreciate the reason for it.

Great pictures! Was that clams you were eating? Love the picture of you and the dog on the beach.
Thanks for sharing!
