The Journey Begins

 

We left New Smyrna Beach Valentine’s Day at 3:45 am in a one-way Budget Panel Van filled to the brim. In the immortal words from Jaws,  “We’re gonna need a bigger boat!” 

We met the broker at the boat at 2:00 and walked through a few last minute items. Like how to start it. 

Debbie started hauling wagonloads of crap from the van while I tried to find a place to put it all. Luckily I had Gaffer on my back and Peanut leaping into every open compartment. Very helpful!

Closing was rather unceremonious. With an online e-signature, it was done. And there we were. Two girls alone in the world on a boat just trying to get home. Luckily, we have PLENTY of beer.
