We have hit some snags

And they are very large snags.

A. It seems that with lots of rain, the main road that my husband must take part of to get to work, well, it gets a bit wet. Like in real wet. Like, buried in wet. Non-passable wet.

B. We have to move the boat from the marina we are in (lthere is a long waiting list and buying a boat that is in said marina does not grant you a slip) and there is not one available here at the moment…..and may not be for almost 6 months.

C. A house here costs 3 times the amount of our house back home. We have looked and looked until the looking was becoming increasingly frustrating. Example: an 800sq foot house with 2 bedrooms for $250,000. Um…yeah. Not.

These are not hurdles that cannot be jumped…..we just are having to jump higher than we thought, and to be quite honest, snag “A” is a biggie. The man. He must be able to get to work, savvy? And the boat. It must be in water and in a place where we have access to it if we move here. I mean, it would be a bummer to move here and have to keep the boat 2 hours away.

And that pesky issue about affordable housing.

Me? I am good to go in the trailer, although I would like to move to a less crowded RV park. This one is very lovely, but I a finding that I want some elbow room.

But! Then we go to eat at the diner and the boating family is there (they own it) and I get to meet the mom. She is wonderful, and so gracious. Bill got to meet them, and they would like to have us over to their house in the next few days. She told me all about living aboard with the kids, and I cant wait to hear more.

Prior to going to meet them, we had decided it was time to hang it up, officially put a close to our summer here and head back home. Now we are re-thinking that plan.

Back and forth…ping, pong. Ping, pong.

Bill and I have agreed that we will make a decision by the end of the weekend. Famous last words.

Wish us luck.
