Our time line of 5 years was coming quickly to a close. We put our house on the market in March and took off south to find marinas we wanted to call “Home”.  While we were traveling our house sold, after only 4 days.  Wow!  We were ecstatic.  Through the marvels of technology, we were able to approve and sign the acceptance papers of the offer.  We were off to a good start.  The house closed on April 28 with a minimum of problems.

This Minnesota spring was very slow to arrive.  We moved into a hotel on April 20th while we waited for the weather to turn so we could get some work done on the boat before we started our adventure.  Spring seemed to take forever to arrive.

Gary was working at Sunnyside Marina where we kept our boat so we hired out to have the boat given a professional wax and bottom paint.  We were finally able to launch the boat on May 18th and move on board.  Home again, home again, jiggy jig.
