But the guys in the boatyard are great, and it wasn't long before they had moved every boat out of the way and moved ours into pole position right by the water and the boat lift. Then they put all the other boats back, even cozier than before. By the time we left the yard there was hardly a spot left for any more boats.
Although we were right by the water, we weren't quite ready to get into it. Our boat is new to us, but by no means new, and she needs a fair bit of work. Our plan is to do what is absolutely necessary to live on her, decide whether or not it is the life for us, and then add more refinements as we see necessary. So it was that December loomed and we still weren't ready to go. In the end we decided that I would go back to spend Christmas with my Mum and available family, and Chris would stay with the boat to get her ready to leave just as soon after the holidays as possible. Locals to the area talked of getting iced in, and bitterly cold weather, so we didn't want to stay any longer than necessary.
