<p dir="ltr">Such a lovely place with a rich history of Irish immigrants and volcanic activity.<br>
We have plans to go with the highly recommended tour guide Joe who is a world of information about the island culture and scenery.</p>
<p dir="ltr">We are planning on seeing the Volcanic Observatory and Hillsboro, a spot you can see the lush green, fertile lands of the North and the stark lunar ash landscape to the South.</p>
<p dir="ltr">This has been an active volcano as recently as Feb 2010, showing us mere humans the strength and awe of nature.  There is a 2-3 mile exclusion zone near the South just for the ash flow and the capital of Plymouth was buried (think Pompeii).</p>
<p dir="ltr">Feeling truly blessed to be here and to show the boys the majesty and history of Montserrat.  </p>

Tonight anchored off White House Bay, with a little  tin roof beach restaurant called Salt Plage playing an amazing Caribbean beat!</p>
<p dir="ltr">Made the hour motorsail from Basseterre to here, anchored and snorkeled.  <br>
Seeing amazing schools of fish, sting rays, urchins, Star fish and many sand dollars.<br>
Finally in the stage of simply chilling out and gaining more understanding of the term "island time"</p>

<p dir="ltr">Yes, yes it must be a band, based on the harmonizing of those at the mic. singing "All of Me"  (And a heck of a lot better than the karaoke heard Wednesday night with drunken vacationers singing "I Will Survive")</p>
<p dir="ltr">Sitting hear listening to the island beats layed down to common tracks...heck it's not bad, and even a bit fun.  But the yearning to be someplace quiet, a place that evokes peace, calm and centeredness calls the soul.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Cheers to those drunken visitors to the resorts, God bless you as you boost the local economy. But in truth - Nemetona preferrs to be home to a Jam session (like we have done with the crew of Penny Lane and Salmagal) then just listening to a jam echoing over the waters.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Good news is soon we will be heading out when the weather window is right to sail on to quieter waters, to find happiness and fun times in a different way. <br></p>

Well, it has been an adventure since we set sail October 6th from Portsmouth, RI. Some things expected and a lot of things unexpected, but no matter what...we are always Sailing Forward!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Heck aren't we all? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It has been lovely to see how our boys have adapted to life a drift and even more exciting when we meet up with other boat families. It brings such joy seeing how quickly they form friendships and laughter is always soon to follow. It brings lightness to heart! Dave and I have been meeting new people and have really enjoyed the camaraderie of the Salty Dawg Rally sailors.</div>

<span style="color: #373e4d; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;">On the bow, sitting atop the spinnaker bag I meditate. Hearing the soft flow of water finding its way past the hull, the sun’s warmth and brightness setting my eye lids a glow and simply breathing.
Day 18. Day 18.
I sit here wondering about the first two weeks a float and the 2 weeks prior and find myself with many thoughts. My mind flooded with which way to concentrate my energy, which facet I shall allow to surface, to become my center. My mind is like the burst shot on a camera…quickly flashing many incremental images.
But I sit, breathing. Being at present with my present moment. Feeling the caress of wind upon the soft hairs on my face and arms, feeling nature surround my senses.
Not thinking forward, not thinking backward. I like this moment. And in this moment I was not expecting to find a new realization about this trip, possibly a new way to receive this trip…other than our original reasons, which was to create a space to connect with our family, to find new deep connections with our sons, as well as, with one another. Time, during this change in scenery, that will ignite us and allow each of us to see each other anew, to possibly find in our hearts a softer connection to the beings we have become. That part of ourselves we ignored while distracted by the everyday land locked ‘normality’s’ society molds us into.
Just as our boat Nemetona in Celtic means create a sacred space to connect with the divine; in our case this is the space to connect as a family.
With all the months of preparing, moving, packing, and provisioning for this trip, I forgot the simplicity of my soul, the centering of my being, I was that without a center, a time not spent bettering my personal journey…but making sure. Making sure we budgeted, making sure to make enough money, making sure kids were where they needed to be, making sure we could find renters, making sure we purged un wanted stuff, making sure everything was packed, making sure I understood what was needed on the boat (having never grew up around boats), making sure bills were paid, making sure all accounts were set up for travel purposes, making sure this, making sure that. During that time, I failed to make sure I was moving forward, that I was moving in a direction organic to my being. One that internally reflected a direction akin to me.
So I am happy to say….sitting on the bow today a real flash of desire to connect with my surroundings each and every day, came to me. Then the realization that this trip will exponentially facilitate that desire… lightened my heart and gave rise to a hope I did not know I needed.
It is not a new desire to connect with my surroundings, it is an ever present want, but because of the hustle and bustle of land life, it does not always get realized.
So the thought of being in the moment - even if ONLY for A moment, and that it can be attainable everyday just by being on this vessel; is priceless.
I am excited to think on this, to meditate on this. Gaining strength from nature and allowing it to flow through my being at any given moment, gave me great joy and peace. I am so blessed to have found this thought only 18 days in…not 24, not at 180 days, but now, today. I am blessed, I am centered and it feels good. </span></span>

Calan turns 10 and we set sail to embark on our 10 month adventure on the sea.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Getting the house packed up and rented,  the boat safely setup for the long journey, making provisioning decisions - and the waiting for Dave to come home from France....it finally arrived.   DEPARTURE.<br>
No more aquaintances asking why we have not left yet, this is the day!!!<br>
Just before 10am on Tuesday October 6th we threw off the dock lines and made our way under the Newport Pell Bridge headed South.  </p>
<p dir="ltr">Our first stop Mystic/Noank, CT.  Our old stomping grounds when we were first married.  Although we both admitted to not remembering much about the simple beauty it contained, it brought us back in touch with our wonderful neighbors Bill and Jill (from our first house we owned in CT).  They came down for dinner to see us, the boys and my parents.  What a great catch up it was.  Then they even came down the next morning to see our beautiful Nemetona over coffee and tea.</p>
<p dir="ltr">It was the same morning when I came across a realization...the sheer beauty of waking up in a new place each morning.   A sense of adventure, calm and excitement filled me up and the reality that we have REALLY BEGUN our trip set in.  </p>
<p dir="ltr">That day we looked for Kitchen <u>Little</u>, a fun breakfast place we use  to haunt.  Little did we know 3 years ago it moved locations.  But we found it!!</p>
<p dir="ltr">Our boys were still jazzed by the Aquarium visit they did the day before with my parents, so we decided to return and fill ourselves with their combined enthusiasm.  Lucky for us our friend Debbie O'Brien is a penguin volunteer and she met us there.  She gave us a huge amount of insider knowledge of the place and all its lovely sea creatures!  So blessed.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Then back to the boat for a clean up prior to having dinner with our friends Meg and Peb at their house.  What fun it was to visit them all these years later and feel like not a day has passed.   Our kids and theirs mingled as we sat talking over a wonderful meal in their warm home!</p>
<p dir="ltr">Next day, Thursday October 9th we left at 5am to our next destination, Port Jefferson, NY.  This was simply a respite between CT and NYC, but one that brought back memories for me.  Ya see I went to Stony Brook (apart of the State University of New York system).  Also two of our close sailing friends hail from this port, Will and Erica.  So it wasn't necessarily a new port, but familiar one.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Today we also opened up our first gifts from friends. Before leaving I asked some friends if they would not mind making us a little care package of their favorite food. And it did what I had hoped, as we shared in their gift - we also felt their presence during our journey! True gratitude is felt and a great diversion from my normal provisions delighted Nemetona crew!! So, in the morning we were joined by the Museler's with their delicious Zucchini Bread and for dinner the Darminio's joined us with Homemade mac and cheese. Boy are we blessed!!</p>

<p dir="ltr">The aroma and thought of sailing it all back to our Marina was not pleasurable, but doable. </p>
<p dir="ltr">After I awoke, I opened the trash door and decide the bag needed to be closed up tight and brought outside. In that same moment Calan stuck his head down the companion way to announce he saw his friends Julia and Nikolai coming up in their dinghy.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Julia and Nikolai attend the same school as the boys in Portsmouth, RI and 2 days prior serindipidously saw their family on the beach and stopped to chat! Their mom Maureen mentioned that the kids were going around collecting trash from boats and it kept them busy for hours. I was impressed to say the least and thought what an industrious duo!</p>
<p dir="ltr">Well, I had not even gotten the trash bag up to the cockpit when Calan announced they were doing 'trash pickup'. Huh!?<br>
Could the universe have provided better timing....? I think not. If I slept in, or they had never made it to the outskirts of the anchorage...this coming together of energies never would have happened. How fortuitous.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Needless to say, we gave the diligent workers a break by inviting them in for the "Calan Tour" of Nemetona and they invited him to be crew on their dinghy excursion.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Happy Day on our Sacred Space.</p>

<p dir="ltr">What does lie ahead?  <br>
More stars, more thoughts, hard work, moments, memories created -  I think of that, but also what brought us here, what brought ME here.  A Jersey Girl sitting on a beautiful 47 foot Beneteau beauty under a star clustered sky.  Stars, like the ocean, showing all the depth and beauty nature can muster.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Here because of a dream started and inspired by the Conway Sailors  (our close friends), the knowledge of sailing known to my husband (who grew up in New Zealand and sailed for the first time with his dad at the age of 8) and me.  Me,  what do I bring to the equation besides this blog?</p>
<p dir="ltr">Hopefully more than just homeschooling teacher, more than wife, more than friend....quite possibly and hopefully bringing my open heart to a new place, a new experience. </p>
<p dir="ltr">Then, affording those around me a glance of honesty and humbled awereness of the beauty and pull of the universe.<br>
The opportunity to draw in that awareness and decipher it the best Lana Rae way I know how - and share it with those who may not be able to see what I see.  To share it with those I love.</p>
<p dir="ltr">A new land, a new sea, a new opportunity to be organic me.  </p>
<p dir="ltr">Quite possibly - that IS what I offer during this journey.  My part of the equation.</p>

<br />
Most people we know near Newport Rhode Island think we have left already. Stange that!<br />
Yes, we have left our house and are living on the boat but we are still here.<br />
Sussing out the boat particulars prior to our Big Adventure.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">Two months from today we disembark. October 5th</span><br />
<br />
We head down toward Mystic, CT, then onto Port Jeff, Long Island<br />
Onto NYC and seeing the Statue of Liberty.<br />
<br />
Then southward to Cape May, NJ<br />
Then possibly Rock Hall, MD and Baltimore<br />
Then Annappolis before heading to Hampton VA for the Salty Dog Rally.<br />
<br />
Super excited to think this will be our reality very soon....but first boat projects!<br />
<br />
Some include Toilet Tanks and Macerators, another is Algebra Class and today was more polishing and waxing.....<br />

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My last post, I admit, was swimming in lost thoughts and unease.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Well what a difference a day or two can make.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Diving deep, I realized my state of mixed feelings was rooted in much, much more than boat living distress and change of living ideals - but had more to do with other thoughts that have been consuming my soul quietly for a while now. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And the simplicity the boat represented, gave way to the flood gates of pent up emotions I have not dealt with while in the mad- scramble to get everything done to make the shift to the boat.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I write this post with new energy, a great outlook and gratitude in my heart to my close friends who listened to me unravel a 'kinked necklace of thoughts' from my soul. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I tend to pride myself on the ability to step outside myself and view my inner clashes with a neutral perspective and grace, usually gaining traction on my own and moving forward.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The lack of being able to do this was a major hang up in moving past my consuming thoughts. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So in light of the inability to self calm and figure out, I shifted from my normal resolution process and shared my woes - and those open hearts who listened gave me the perspective I was lacking. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am so grateful.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In receiving all their perspectives, advice and of course ruminating resolutions...I came away yesterday morning with a great sense of being loved, not just by myself but by others who I may not have realized cared so much. In a days time, with the help of the positive winds of change my friends and husband bestowed on me, I was able to sail away from the shore of distressing thoughts. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
With this new found presence and freedom of thought, I jumped right into one of my boat chores. Unearthing ALL food products that were shoved in various storage areas (which was dumped on the boat last month in order to get out of the house for rental) and then organizing and finding which compartments made sense to hold our provisions. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Our <a href="https://www.facebook.com/ericaconwayorganizer?fref=ts" target="_blank">friend is a professional organizer </a>who has imparted on me amazing thoughts about how to make this 47 foot boat sing with organization! And by classifying the food in different ways I have found a system that is going to work fantastically for our family.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The usual is spices together, vitamins together, dry snack items...but other things like liquid/glass items stored together (yes, you can think cocktails! along with salsa, oils, dressings), all dinner items (canned goods, starches) together, lunch items (the kids can make themselves) together, then opened items not yet finished (Cereals, chips etc) together, all baking needs in one area. It feels right but I have no problem being fluid with these designations - for this live-aboard status has only just begun.<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Quite possibly digging into what I call the "treasure chest" for dinner items every night - may just drive me batty. The treasure chest is the area under the salon couch, which is covered by big cushions and a lid. It is also deep and can hold a lot of items. I have heard this becomes a pain in the butt over time having to move everything to get to it. So I have given it the positive title of Treasure Chest....in hopes it keeps at bay any swearing that may arise from the constant maneuvering that will take place every meal time! (I'll keep you posted!)</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
So we have checked one off the list of to-do boat chores...this brings feelings of accomplishment. By checking off a task (even just one) it frees up the mind and helps us get on with the next things in life. Just like releasing old thoughts that hold us back mentally. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">There are moments where we need to decide..</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">it's just time to sail on.</span></div>

How do you feel about CHANGE??</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We are now in the CHANGE of thought from Land-livers to Live-Aboards. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And to be honest, I did not think about the 'plan' for my mental state once we moved out of the house. Maybe to my chagrin.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Heck, we were so busy packing, discarding, moving, purging and cleaning the house just to hand the keys to our tenants Friday I had not thought much about where my mind would wander the week or so after that transition. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This transition I am finding harder than I ever imagined. Maybe its this singular boat focus - which was birthed out of extreme, multi-tasking thinking - that has got me tilted. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Maybe I have just not caught up with my reality yet.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
No pool to clean, No lawn to mow, No weeds to pick.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I need to haul my laundry in a dock cart in order to clean it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Friends and acquaintances thinking we have already departed, when in reality we are sitting at our Marina in town until October. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My house comes with me when we sail.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
etc....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Not sure the exact root of my mixed feelings - all I know is my friend Christine said today...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
"I should give myself a break"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And with all this Change, I think her wisdom shall be heeded.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Just Be in the Present Moment,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
for I Believe Change is Good.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

Internet research and talking with friends in 2014 lead me to Rich Boren and Charlie Hammel at <b>Cruise RO Water and Technautics</b>. I was looking for a watermaker to use on our boat during a year long trip that would take my family and I from Portsmouth RI as far south as Grenada and back. </div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
A close friend of mine had just completed the same trip with his family and they felt the watermaker was a pretty nice piece to have. Unfortunately for him, he did not have anywhere near the prep time I had to pull his trip together and ended up purchasing his watermaker a month before he was due to leave. Sadly he had a really rough experience with another company, and long story short he received the watermaker the day before they left for the BVI’s. Three frustrating months later he had it up and running. After hearing his tales of woe, I was hell bent on getting mine well ahead of time and having the time to get comfortable with it before heading South. </div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Around November of 2014 I purchased my SMS 30 from Rich and Charlie. Right from the get go these guys were a pleasure to deal with. Rich walked me through the various options until I was completely comfortable with what I was purchasing.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
We have the luxury of an 8kw Westerbeke Genset onboard, and this gave us plenty of power to run the SM30 unit. I toyed with the idea of going to the larger unit, but Rich convinced me that the 30 would be just fine….and obviously it was cheaper also…bonus!!! </div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Its 1 hp high pressure motor only draws 9.3 amps, so there was the potential to run it without the generator, thru the inverter <i>with the engine running </i>should something go amiss with the generator.<br />
I diligently read the manual over the winter months and planned out my installation. The nice part about this system is that it is<i> completely modular </i>and you have the ability to install some of the larger parts in different places to optimize the use of space…which always seems hard to come by on a cruising boat. </div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
With my initial plan in place, I set about prefabbing some backing boards to mount the boost pump and pre-filters. I decided that I would place these in the AFT STB Lazarette tucked up under the cockpit coaming, hopefully out of harm’s way.</div>

I originally planned on going <i>without </i>the remote valving and cleaning assembly pictured on the right. In fact, I purchased the system without it. The more I thought about it, the less I wanted to crawl into the back lazarette every time I wanted to do a freshwater flush. I bit the bullet and purchased the remote panel and mounted it right next to the main control panel. I don’t regret it for a moment. It’s very nice to have all the controls at my fingertips. </div>

I have to say the manual for this unit was really outstanding. I was able to wire the AC for the HP pump without too much difficulty. The hardest part was swapping out the breaker and actually getting the wires onto the breaker. As you can see below, everything is pretty jammed on there. The wiring for the 12vdc boost pump was very straight forward.</div>

I decided to route my sample line from the remote panel up to just below the galley sink. I simply open the lower cabinet door and put the<i> coil into the sink</i>.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I was able to route the output water directly into the end of my freshwater manifold. I fitted a small and cheap digital meter into the line so I can double-check how much water I have made during any given session.<br />

I can’t thank the guys at Cruise RO water enough. Their customer service is bar none, the best I have come across. They really are dedicated to making sure the customer is taken care of and 100% happy. I am really glad I purchased my watermaker significantly ahead of time. This allowed me to think very carefully about where I wanted all the components before launching into it. Every time I use it, I am getting more and more comfortable with its operation. The manual is very well written and walks through everything step by step.</div>

I am looking forward to using the system this summer in a limited capacity before we depart for the Caribbean in the fall. Our current plans have using leaving Rhode Island in late September and heading south before joining the “Salty Dawg Rally” departing from Norfolk VA for the BVI’s at the beginning of November.</div>

Since the weather models changed so much during the week, our departure came upon us quickly.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
We left Friday and motored past Newport with the end of the tide. Nicely done.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
Half way out, we decided to pull out the main to find it bunched up. In and out we pulled the lines, banjo'd them, and finally looking at Dave's face (I the novice sailor) knew THIS WAS NOT GOOD. And then he mouthed to me as such (to keep the kids from freaking out).<br />
</div>
<div dir="ltr">
Then he informed me he needed to go up the mast! It has been a long road for me to gain his confidence and knowledge of getting him up and down the mast. And boy am I happy he let me practice this spring. Here we are between Newport and Block Island hoisting Dave up the mast! </div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Thank goodness it was not very windy. But a small rain squall did halt our efforts. So up and down twice....and Happy to say we were able to furl it back in. </div>
<div dir="ltr">
The episode sure took a few confidence points away with the whole 'in mast furler'. Fingers crossed all will run smooth in the years to come, we just may be a bit more astute watching it furl in each time.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We motored the rest of the way and the universe heard my request.....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
"There will be an orange mooring ball available to us"!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Not just one, but we had our pick. So we decided on a pretty safe one next to Madame Geneva. Of which they had 3 kids aboard! What luck, even if only for a few days before they headed to Maine on their summer long journey. Fair Winds new friends, we will catch your blog www.fringesquirrel.com</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It was nice to get here early and get settled. And even better coming back to this familiar place. A place 19 years ago during the same Block Island race week Dave asked me to join him while he sailed with the Conway crew of High Noon. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It may have just sealed the deal for us that week, for a year later we honeymooned here during the same Race week.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Although we have been back to BI many times in between....it was Chris snd Erica Conway who were a vital component in our doing this adventure!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I guess we owe a tribute to this quaint little Island.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Cheers Block Island! </div>

For those who remember, Huck Finn was punished and his punishment was to white wash a fence.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Well he turned what was a negative into a positive by persuading others that this tedious job was fun, an adventure, something they wanted to do.</div>

2 winters ago my friend Peg came out with me to the boatyard, while the mast was on saw horses, to polish the mast. As you can imagine the jokes that came out of that line. (Polish the mast...) Ha</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She grew up knowing the pride of keeping a boat in tip top shape and offered to assist in the polishing. Gratefully I accepted knowing doing this with a friend is much more fun than going it alone. So we were off to the boat yard on a beautiful winter day polishing the mast, listening to music and chatting the whole time. </div>

I had a wonderful time polishing the cockpit with Jenn (my new Next Door neighbor). Music on, chatting the whole time and doing what Mr. Miagi would be proud of.....Wax ON, Wax OFF. </span><br />

<br />
So many people are asking and wondering when we are leaving. And since it is really a two fold experience living on the boat - let me explain.<br />
<br />
First we will be <b>living aboard in New England</b> then we will be <b>living aboard in the Caribbean</b>.<br />
<br />
<u><b>June 19th 2015</b></u>- we are looking to <b>start living on the boa</b>t as of this day. We will be sailing to Block Island for Block Island Race Week Regatta in which David is sailing.<br />
<br />
<b><u>July 1st, 2015</u> </b>- the date our <b>renters move in to the house</b>.<br />
<br />
<u><b>July, August, September </b></u>- <b>living on the boat in our marina slip at NEB</b>. Sailing locally.<br />
<br />
<b><u>October 2015</u></b> - setting <b>sail down the East Coast of the USA</b>. Heading toward Virginia to meet up with the Salty Dog Rally.<br />
<br />
<u><b>November 2015</b> </u>- David's Dad and brother will be up from New Zealand to help him <b>deliver the boat to the Caribbean.</b> Lana and the kids will be picked up by her parents and they will be doing a historical drive down to Florida (Home school field trips galore) where they will fly down to the Caribbean to meet up with David once boat is delivered. (I know may seem like a cop out...not doing the delivery, but it was the deal maker when deciding to do the trip!! I know my limitations and possibly 11 days on open ocean....no, not with our kids)<br />
<br />
<u><b>December 2015 through June 2016</b></u> - It will be just our family on the boat sailing the crystal clear <b>waters of the Caribbean</b>.<br />

May 6, 2015</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
I have to admit today was a difficult one.<br />
So much going on, so many check boxes to tick, <a href="http://armitagesailors.blogspot.com/2014/11/life-thoughts.html" target="_blank"><b>two track life</b></a> full speed ahead. </div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
I struggled all day knowing there is so much to get done, yet couldn't focus correctly. Has this ever happened to you?</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
It's frustrating ...period. </div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Being alone at the boat for a good part of the day was good - I despise when my unsettled mood is opened to others....it's not often, and I try to not share it. But yesterday was an exceptionally hard mental day and actually spilled over my negative energy (My apologies to those who were near my bubble of unsettled-ness). </div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
I have not figured out yet the true cause although conclusions have been drawn. Overwhelmed with boat tasks, house tasks, logistics of 'stuff' (stuff to get rid of, stuff to store, stuff to setup), nervous about prepping house for rental, nervous about the trip it self, am I prepared, will I miss the routine, yet looking forward to the lack thereof, Wanting to be on the boat Now, yet have so much to prepare prior, anxious for my son who is having a hard time transitioning as the house becomes more and more bare, excited for my other son who wants to celebrate the changes, 6 weeks until we move on the boat, 7 weeks to be out of the house, tick-tock, etc...etc...</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<i>Emotionally askew in a world moving forward. </i> </div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
It wasn't until this evening at Cal's cub scout meeting I had a chance to be still, stop and walk. Let me preface, I was his pack leader, but a few months ago handed over the reigns. I usually assist in some way but tonight I excused myself, which allowed me the opportunity to be still. Meetings are held on church property, of which there is a cemetery. And this is where I found some calm.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Among the gravestones, inscriptions and the sun setting streams of light - there was quiet, solitude and calm. <br />
<br />
<i>The stillness of the bodies below, grounded me.</i> </div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Thankful for the moments presented and appreciated! I can't say the uneasiness is fully purged, but at least I have some clarity. </div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
The universe surrounds us with beauty, we just need to take notice.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
Enjoy a few pictures from the moments of calm.</div>
<div dir="ltr">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Californian FB', serif; font-size: 12pt;">For those who drink Miller Beer - do not get ahead of yourselves here. There is a story to be told, and if you have read any of my other posts...the title does not always match the moral of the story!</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Californian FB",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Californian FB', serif; font-size: 12pt;">So here I go...</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Californian FB",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Californian FB', serif; font-size: 12pt;">Dave and I have lived in our house now for over 10 years. A lasting memory of the sale was the response to the question...."What are the neighbors like?" The response from the seller went something like this..."It's nice, they keep to themselves"</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Californian FB",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Californian FB', serif; font-size: 12pt;">Boy did I under estimate how much they kept to themselves. The properties touching ours were very quiet and never seemed to come out of the house. To be honest not many were out in their yards except maybe to mow in summer. Demographically....I would agree, this was an established neighborhood were their kids were nearly out of the house and mine were mere babes. So not much in common.</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Californian FB",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Californian FB', serif; font-size: 12pt;">But when your husband travels ALOT....and family is very far away (New Zealand and New Jersey) your neighbors become family. I simply thought this is how it went considering I grew up in a neighborhood where we called adults respectfully by their first names, ran through each other’s back yards, had many mom’s and dad’s looking out for me on the street and helping hands whenever you needed it. Even in our first home, Bill and Jill - our sole accessible neighbors on the cul-de-sac - were our mentors, board game extraordinaire's and the bon-fire experts. (Their children grown and we did not have any yet.) They welcomed us like family and we reciprocated! </span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Californian FB",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Californian FB', serif; font-size: 12pt;">So, I am not sure if this is a New England thing or just zeroed down to this street, but the seller was right, people kept to themselves! (And must admit, post-partum depression did not exactly enhance the prospects!)</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Californian FB",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Californian FB', serif; font-size: 12pt;">So a few years in we hosted an ice cream social for the neighborhood, it was fun, yet the sentiment remained the same, but now at least I knew the names of the people living around me. So we carried on - a few new faces around the corner moved in (to which I left notes in their mailboxes greeting them to the neighborhood!) and a family a block away, who I have built friendships with.</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Californian FB",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Californian FB', serif; font-size: 12pt;">Then it happened, the house closest to us next door, sharing an open property line (no fences) went on the market in the fall of 2013. My immediate response was to start a mantra to the universe asking very specifically what I would like in a new neighbor. It was not a long mantra, but specific and was repeated every time I drove past the for sale sign. I asked, “Please allow that house to have a family who is similar to ours, celebrates life and has children around the age of my younger son, who like to play outside.” This was not a generic request but quite specific and maybe varied in verbiage, but had this same gist <i>every time</i>.</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Californian FB",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Californian FB', serif; font-size: 12pt;">I am not sure if it was my mantra that kept buyers away until the perfect family found it….or just the housing market consequences….but it took well over a year for it to go under contract. And the day this family moved in – Dave and I both were over there greeting our new neighbors the Miller’s.</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "Californian FB",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Californian FB', serif; font-size: 12pt;">Thank goodness they were immediately open to us, for they could have been overwhelmed by our enthusiasm. Trust me when I say we were <i>well enthused</i> on that cold winter day with snow mounds high, my hugs open hearted (and plentiful) and some homemade Berry Jam to welcome them the day they got the keys! </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Californian FB', serif; font-size: 12pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Californian FB', serif; font-size: 12pt;">There was no question in those first moments that this family was-amazing. I cannot begin to say how blessed I feel to have them live next door to us, especially now that I have gotten to know them…to share our stories, lives and dreams. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: 'Californian FB', serif; font-size: 12pt;">And here is the kicker for me….that validates using specific mantras…was they had 3 children. One year older, one year younger and one the same age as Calan. And they all love to play outside!!! As a mother, there is nothing better than hearing the giggles, laughter and Joy coming from your child! And already three short months later...I already feel they are a part of our family. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Californian FB', serif;">Right now we look forward to the remaining few weeks in the house, then onto the summer months sharing docktails on Nemetona in her slip down the street until we depart and mostly their presence when we return from our sailing adventure to begin the era of ..<i><span style="font-size: large;"><b>.</b>Miller Time!!</span></i></span></div>
