This category ,called The First Six Months, was actually posted in December of 2011. Marie kept a journal and I logged our locations and mileage. So this portion of the blog may be a little more cryptic than subsequent posts.
After six months of divesting ourselves of our land based life and years of planning and dreaming, we arrived in Westbrook CT to begin the next chapter in our lives. We were excited, exhausted, and continually asking oursleves "are we really here?", with the follow up question "Oh My God, what are we doing here?"
We stayed at the Pilots Point Marina in Westbrook for two months "moving in". We shipped two pallets of 1000 lbs each of our stuff. Boat gear, diving gear, cooking gear, tools, parts, etc. We probably got rid of about 500 lbs of it when we would open a box, take out an item, and ask one another "what were we thinking when we shipped this?" Those two pallets and about 6 small boxes in storage represented the entirety of our personal possesions....plus one very nice boat of course.
