Slowing Down

It's been a busy three weeks since the crew of Nimue left Plattsburgh on January 7th. Not only have we been provisioning and preparing the boat for launching, we have also been doing our part to fight off the recession. Two weeks ago we attended an RV show in Port St. Lucie where we fell in love with a 2003 Winnebago Adventurer 35 motorhome. After looking at a few other models, we decided that it had exactly what we were looking for in our next coach. So we traded in our faithful 94 Flair and are now proud Winnie owners. Of course, we had to try out our new ride after we moved in. We took a little time off boat chores to visit my Aunt in Naples. As always, my aunt and I had fun together and Peter enjoyed a few days to get used to the systems on our new coach. On our way home from Naples we stopped at a camping world to get a cover fort our new rig and treated ourselves to new folding bikes. Back at the marina we sold our trusty "clown bikes" to two of the marina workers who were happy to get a good deal. Last Tuesday our boat hit the water and we finished moving onto the boat. Two moves in two weeks!
Meanwhile Sonnet made two trips to the vet. She is now on a special kidney diet. She has sparkling clean teeth and soft fluffy paws. Along with her teeth cleaning and blood work she got a complimentary claw trim.
We are now in Stuart, slowing down the pace and the spending. For the next few months economic progress will have happen without us. We plan to go back to the Abacos and may even have a crossing window this weekend.
