We're getting there

Oh yeah
Gotcha!  Hopefully this is the last treasure we find on the boat, because if we find anymore they will be coming out of compartments that I don't know about.  I found this waterproof jumpsuit a few days ago, and finally got around to cleaning it today.  It's still pretty dirty, but I put it on anyway.  Sometimes you gotta do something, even if it's wrong.
For fairness' sake, here's a picture of Erica wearing a special suit, of sorts.

Gotcha
Today Erica went shopping at the bulk food store while I worked at the boat.  She got the biggest jug of Party Mix that I've ever seen, so if nothing else we can live off of that for several weeks.  She keeps talking about nutritional density, I'm not really sure why...it certainly can't be relevant to Party Mix.
I think that I finished fixing the head, but some of the hoses needed to be caulked together so we have to make sure that they sealed properly before it's totally done.  Just in case anyone wants to see what I've been doing for the last three days, here she is:

Notice the one shiny new hose
We got the boat mostly put back together today, so here are a couple of pictures of the inside. 

V-berth
That piece of plywood is bootleg- it doesn't actually fit that space yet, and it isn't fastened to anything.  But it does cover up an ugly empty space above the freshwater tank.  Here's what it looked like last week: 

That's our spare mainsail on the left

Here's the main cabin:
We're getting there





And before: 
Find 6 differences
It's funny, because I thought the pictures I took today would show how tidy the boat was.  When I look at them now, though, I notice the upside down table, the jug of stove alcohol, and the open knife blade.  Still, it is better than it once was.  Very few fishing rods.  Although I did find the giant owl again- either Erica hid it as a joke, or she thinks we really need it.  Either way, we need to talk. 

Tomorrow we're going to move our clothes and books onto the boat, then take off for Gainesville.  Hilton Head on Thursday, Richmond on Friday, then Maryland until we fly back Monday morning.  Then...off to Key West!
