Zero-Car Family

I guess it's really official now. The last thing on land that was keeping us in one place is gone. We sold our car. 

The timing was perfect. I finished my last day at work on Saturday. We did a last heavy provisioning run on Sunday and Monday. We exchanged the keys for cash on Tuesday. 

Now we wait. 

Waiting~ a common theme for us, and cruisers alike.  It's different this time though. This time we are ready (as ready as we will ever be) to go. We have accumulated the necessary supplies, we have outfitted Airabess, we have sent in the proper paperwork (I.e. vet documents for Ms Willow, homeschool documentation, etc...). We are prepared. 

Now patiently doing what cruisers do... Watching the weather and looking for our window.  

Ms Willow she is just waiting. Coco... Staying on top of her studies. 

Boo

So strange.  These moments (months) of not quite continuity. Work.  Homeschool, Marina/harbor friends...etc... 

We are in this bubble of life that is and isn't limbo. As humans, we make connections. Boat life incorporates that... But there is a difference. We KNOW its temporary. But it's life, and we move forward. We forge bonds. We build lives and structure~ even with  intentional avoidance or nonchlance. Even when we try to step outside THAT kind of conformity, we connect. 

And when we do its wonderful. 

The kids of the harbor had a pumpkin carving party courtesy of the Marathon City Marina. 

It's a reminder of this life and its beautiful connection.
