Where To Begin?!?!?!?

SHIP'S LOG:

Truth be told, and it is a sad truth, but ABISHAG has had nare a mile pass under her keel since she got to TYC. It seems that the reason for this was/is the fact that she is "sail-less." They've been in the loft which has been overwhelmed and is behind in work and everyone is after them to get their sails and more work is coming in Yadada, Yadada, Yadada!!!!!!! But fear not, the sail will be bent on come this Monday, or so I am assured!

I am now living on ABISHAG as my onshore arrangements have come "a cropper!" An arrangement that has worked so well has been done in the vagueries of the employment market. One new job and a carefully crafted arrangement goes in the crapper! Such is life. I had to eventually make the move anyway and now I have to make the move and have made it. Perhaps the toughest thing will be to develop a new routine and implement it. It is not as easy as it sounds. There is particularly getting used to the approximate 39' X 11' of living space. Thank goodness that I got rid of so much stuff, but it is amazing how much I still have. What I don't take I store or have one hell of a yard sale!

I now have the time and the inclination (necessitated by the fact that Iam living aboard) to finally get all the systems checked out. If they are working, what a relief. If a system is not, then it is either do without or jury-rig, because finances will not allowed for much in the way of replacement and/or repair by outside agencies. Tonight it is "Check Out The Lights" Night! And you just know that some light way,way, way up the mast will be non-functioning. You just know it!
