After more than 18 months of primping, our lady Ryen's Quest is ready for her debut. She is now proudly sporting her new threads, in the way of stackpacks and sails, a boatload of new equipment on deck, including anchors, chain, lines, deck repair work, new plumbing, electrical, electronics, enclosure....wow, the list goes on and on. I don't even want to re-visit that in my thoughts ever again. And, as anyone knows, it ain't cheap. But, to us, it has been worth the four miserable months living aboard in weather conditions making it illegal to turn a dog out. Bright side? Two more weeks and this debutante will be heading south to be our home away.
So what if it rains everyday, for an hour? So what if the wind speeds are 20 knots of tropical breeze? So what if there isn't any snow.? So what if we have to learn to do nothing? So what if we have to sail our boat in crystal blue waters? So what if people call us ex-pats? So what if we learn to eat fusion food? So what if the lush, incredibly beautiful countryside finds our nature lover side? So what if people fall in love again? So what?
