News at last!

Just received the long-awaited call from the current owners of the boat - they have found a place to live. We complete on the 25th of September and get the keys the next day.

Depending on how flexible our letting agent is with breaking our lease, we may have a full month of overlap, which I don't think is a bad thing - we have big plans:

- sand, stain and refinish the floorboards
- paint the walls any other colour than their current pink and yellow
- more bookshelves
- decluttering and otherwise downsizing our current possessions to about half their volume

Oh so excited. This is the beginning of our life on the briny (actually, brackish, for verisimilitude).
