Okay, so pictures of the soon to be Grace O’Malley (named after a famous Irish woman pirate). She is currently on the Oregon side in a marina, as we try to get the engines running to bring her home. I think I am going to like living in this boat. There’s a major amount of work to be done yet. I may not be able to move in until April. After life in the trailer, this seems spacious. Fortunately, the head (bathroom) is one of the areas where we are going to need to redo the walls. That means we can build out a useable shower. I am truly tired of tiny bathrooms. The plan is to find and fix the leaks, repair the walls, and put something down on the floors. The wood work up front will also need work, but that can be done while we live in it. We also need to get the wiring sorted out and get the generator running. Lots of stuff to be done, I know. When I was out there on Sunday, it was an amazing thing to walk around in the boat, watch the fishermen come in and look at the other boats in the water. I can imagine sitting out front, under the cover at the table, and doing my morning journaling. I know how small spaces fill up fast, once you start moving in. And the dogs and cats will make it livelier yet. I can’t wait to start coming home to this.
