The Beginning of the Log of the Blog of Antares
October 19, 2007
It only took us 2 days to get this far on our blog. We’re hoping to become a little more efficient.
We sold our house in August, rented back for a month while we enriched the Salvation Army with our valuables. Late in September, Lyle went off to San Francisco State. Dante (sob!) was adopted by Maureen and Glenn Foley, Lyle’s girlfriend Shannon’s parents (the macha tunim).
Early in October we moved to Fort Lauderdale. We stayed with Joel and Vela Potter, (our good friends and yacht brokers) for a while. Then, we lucked into a funky, Florida, fiftyish furnished apartment, with a marina in the backyard, where we hope to move our boat Antares (that’s her in the header) next week.
Antares is an Amel (French!) 53 foot ketch, with everything necessary for 2 old sailors such as ourselves. She has a generator, water maker, microwave, washer/dryer, dishwasher, electric sails, 3 air conditioners and a small outpatient clinic with caregivers. They don’t eat much. We’ll talk more about the boat in later episodes.
It’s the hour of the swallow, so we’ll quit for now. We just wanted to get this posted, to see if it works.
