Ok, we ended up not being able to leave today... We're trying this again today...
So, for those of you who may come across this, but haven't been following, here's the whole story:
SPOILERS! (Click to view)
In Feb 2004 I moved aboard a sailboat in the FL Keys. I LOVED IT! I mean it really rocked my world, I oozed joy through my pores. I actually sometimes had people be mean to me because of how happy I was. By the end of summer of 2005, we wanted to visit with family, so we took the sailboat and brought it up to Philadelphia where my family lives. We were going to spend 3 months visiting, then go back down to the islands either back to Key West or to the USVI.
Well, it didn't work out that way. We never seemed to catch up enough with money to be able to get back down island... I even tried to head back down in 2009. Only got as far as North Carolina... We ended up selling the boat. It was heartbreaking.
We've been through SO much since then that I won't get into... if you really want to know, ask and I'll tell you... but it's all a long sob story that resembles a soap opera more then I'd ever really like to admit.
Which brings us to now...
Last month, (or maybe it was 2 months now)... we found a boat. We've been working towards being able to buy the boat and make the move back to south Florida. We've finally been able to get to the point where we're ready to take the very first step... moving onto the boat. We'll have a TON of work to on the boat. It's barely more then a shell... but it's the first step to getting back to the life I love.
Ok trying the 16hr 15m count down again.
