OK, this is going to sound weird - We are far from pulling up the anchor.
Michel has begun to install some of the big stuff we brought down ie: the watermaker et al.
This involved tearing up the boat floorboards, beds, and all. This was no smooth exersize. I have found out the a "Cruisers wife" sole occupation is packing and repacking boat lockers. Perhaps this is why we seem to be the only ones capable of finding things on the boat.
We were getting in the way and getting on each others nerves. Michel was getting totally frustrated trying to install the watermaker. ( I was told it would take a couple of days - it took 2 weeks) We had a little family chat as I began to want to bail. The resolve was to rent a house nearby for a couple months while the boat gets worked on. Then I rented a truck to haul boat parts around. We have a really nice house with a pool and a beautiful garden. We are getting spoiled. If anyone cares to visit plane fares run around 650 bucks from Seattle and we have lots of room for company. We are landlocked our property is across from the beach.
Here's the girls enjoying the pool....are we going to get any work done?

At last we hear about how the Poirier family is doing so far from Thetis Island and Canada. Thanks for the great photos (keep them coming!) and please keep updating as it is great to live vicariously through others (if you can't be actually doing it yourself,sadly). It is snowing in Vancouver today and cold and it is only Dec 1st.
Wishing we could be there,
Terri McCulloch & family
