Honey, you live on a boat. Finite SPACE!!!HA Ha.
many necessary items that were removed in past are found in strangest places—and some things needed for comfort and safety and mobilization. only frivolity was really the screen tarp……we doin good–just have to re organize after some of the projects….
The anchor sounds like a great deal. Refrigerator is nice in the tropics. Yes we need liquids but a cold one is better. Having one right now in fact. We are having nice weather 65 deg . Down to 52 a couple of mornings. Water temp in the low 70s.Unusual for Florida this time of year. Hurricane threat gone. Hope there are no more this year. The bronze hawser cleat thingy sounds nice; too. It gives a boat a classy look. As some one who lived in a 29 ft Travel trailer for a few years, I learned to bring something on; take something off. I know you are familiar with that. Just pulling your leg.
