Back at the Isle of Hope marina outside of Savannah, GA, mile marker 590 on the ICW. Walking onto "Surprise" is like entering into another world; familiar as when one slips into or awakes from a dream. The in-between moments of not being sure which one is going to claim your presence and then the commitment to one at the exclusion of the other. Living aboard the boat is not just a physical transformation but a mental and spiritual one. A new paradigm imposes itself and it is most welcome.
