Back on the boat

I really don’t know if it is for 3 or 4 days that we are back, but we are on the boat again. It takes some time to adjust to the live-aboard-in-the-USA kind of lifestyle.
To be living in the USA, in the South, is a thing we are not used to. We feel half cripple not having a car and a phone to our disposition for 24 hours a day. Structural solutions are not available, so we depend on the goodwill of people and our inventiveness to find those people. Not something that we really like, but survivors we are. We will make friends that have a car and we will find a phone that works.

How was it again on the boat?

The first days we snuffed around on the boat. What is it that we exactly have aboard, what is still working, what needs to be repaired, what do we need to buy. We encounter some strange things, like yesterday afternoon.
We wanted to open a can of soup we just bought. We couldn’t find a can opener aboard. Did we really throw away that rusty old can opener before we left, some 10 months ago? What did we think that time?
