This past week was a relatively quiet one. We visited Eudora each day, and completed some maintenance projects. As we are making the boat our own, there are a lot of small and large projects creeping onto the to do list. The first project that was completed this week was re-seating the cockpit door. TheContinue reading “Hoses & Hiking”

Welcome to Vancouver, where the rainy season lasts about 6 months. That’s what the locals tell us, anyways. Apparently it rains most days from November through ‘til April. And when we say rain, we mean a constant downpour for hours on end, nothing like Calgary rain that lasts a half hour and then clears. TheContinue reading “It Won’t Stop Raining”

This past week has felt as though we started to settle into a new routine. We managed to get our apartment into a state where most things are unpacked, and we are able to sleep, cook and work there. Bonus, I also found some floor space to setup my exercise mat and weights. I squeezedContinue reading “Settling In”

This week, we finally got the chance to get out on the water. This is what we’ve been working for, and we’ve been looking forward to it for a really long time. Since we are new boat owners, we have a temporary clause in our insurance policy which means that we need to have aContinue reading “Maiden Voyage”

It’s Sunday, and the end of our first full week as Vancouverites and boat people. It’s been a whirlwind of a week, I’ll try my best to recount the highlights. Arrival to the city was uneventful. We picked up our boat and marina keys, and enjoyed our first evening aboard Eudora. Our first night aboardContinue reading “Week One and Done”

I’m writing this sitting in our hotel room in Revelstoke. We’ve made it to the half way mark of our drive to the coast, to our new home. It’s been an absolute whirlwind of a week, and it’s hard to believe that we’re actually here now, on the road. This afternoon is the first timeContinue reading “Halfway There”

It’s kind of hard to believe that the moving truck is coming next week to whisk all of our stuff away to Vancouver. It’s been so busy the past few weeks, that I’ve been on auto pilot, just checking things off the to-do list, I haven’t even really let it sink in what it allContinue reading “One Week to Moving Day!”

Today, we officially became boat owners (at least on paper). We’re just back from the bank, having sent the funds for the final payment. We’re not in Vancouver to take physical possession of our boat, but legally, we now own all 40 glorious feet of MV Eudora. It’s kind of a weird feeling. Not beingContinue reading “We’re Boat Owners!”

Holy feelings, Batman! Decluttering our basement has shaken loose lots of cobwebs, dust and memories. This evening, I opened a box of teddy bears, and just cried for a few minutes. I’m trying to unpack all the emotions. Some of it is sadness for times gone by, some of it is regret for leaving allContinue reading “Feelings”
