Paul and I moved onto Kabuki on Saturday. I had to work on the Library Bus in the morning, and then in the afternoon we moved most of our stuff onboard. Unfortunately the weather did not really play the game and we had to get things up the ladder between showers of rain.
You might be saying "up the ladder?". Yes, Kabuki is still on the hardstand down at Norsand Boatyard. We have to climb up about 12 feet to get on the boat, this is no mean feat when carrying boxes etc. Just as well Paul is very agile and strong.
Sunday was spent tidying up our house ready for the handover, packing up the last of our stuff and stashing it in the roof, and getting the last of our gear back to the boat, again in between showers. But we are now installed on board Kabuki quite comfortably. We didn't even have too much drama with regards to storing all of our stuff.
It was a bit different leaving the house in our Son's hands, but I am not worried unduly about things. Some people may say this is mis-guided, some may say we are completely insane to leave a young man and His mate in our house. But we trust Xavier and feel that the experience will be good for both him and David. I have felt over the last year that I may have mothered Xavier too much, and this is His chance to grow up away from our influence. This is His chance to stretch His wings (how cliche) experience life from the Adult side. I will miss Him, but that is understandable.
So It is not too long and we will be off, I only have 2 and a bit weeks of work left. I am a bit sad about leaving my job, but them's the breaks. The last few weeks will be good, we are finishing the School Holiday program this week, and then we will be back into Funtimes for the pre-schoolers.
Boy can I rabbit on, I will attempt to upload some photo's at some point.
Cheers for now.
Yee hah, and it begins...
