Back "home" in Maine

We arrived in Yarmouth three days ago, and took the winter shrink-wrapping off, and got electricity and the plumbing connected.  Now we are living aboard again, but blocked up ashore while working on various projects before launching.  It is like living in an RV except for having to climb a 12' ladder to get aboard.

It is great to be back in Maine.  The best part is the friends we have here.  The day we arrived two couples we know came by in the late afternoon, climbed up the ladder to visit.  We enjoyed refreshments and conversation in our cockpit as if we were afloat.   

However, we are having to adjust our thin southern blood to the temperature - 43° F this morning.

  1. Congratulations on being back aboard Jay and Jane! I'm still land locked in Tennessee while you can at least smell the ocean now, LOL

  2. 43F? Why, that's WINTER weather here in Texas! (Reminds me of Girl Scout camp in the mornings up in the Sierras! Our favorite trick was to stuff our first layer of clothing in the sleeping bags w/ us to warm 'em up!) You know if Jane gets ahold of that camera, there will be revenge... heh-heh-heh. The paint job looks great! J Sustala :D
