I live a few miles from Falmouth Harbor. We sit there for lunch quite often in the summer watching the boats go in and out - maybe I have already seen you pass by! I tried to check if I was one of those whose email didn't show for responses and couldn't find the place to check.

Did you have all of this worked out when you first started living on the boat or did you gradually figure out how to navigate life without a permanent abode?

I knew from the past posts that you sometimes had things shipped to friends in the area you are headed but didn't know about the post office holding pkgs. until you are ready for them nor did I know about the harbormaster's offices. Also, thanks for in info about Paypal. I didn't know you could print postage directly through them & get a discount. Wow, wow I will try that next time.<br />Looking forward to part 2 of this journey with you.Nickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00407612669930739229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6996371959062263667.post-20062112798095275972020-10-20T00:32:02.992-04:002020-10-20T00:32:02.992-04:00I think I’d mentally figured out some of those log...I think I’d mentally figured out some of those logistics, but it’s really interesting to hear it officially. Your residency/permanent address/voting and every little bit is fascinating. And just think, if/when our old sewing machines die, they can always have a second life as an anchor!! Like everyone, I’m eagerly awaiting Part 2.

Thanks for sharing. Have you ever shared photos of life and sewing aboard your boat? I suppose you have but I don't recall and would love to see more of your space and how you use it. I'm in awe of your ability to live so minimally. We have a house full and I've been attempting to purge.

I, like many more of your followers it seemed, have often wondered about the logistics of living permanently on board a boat and, how on earth do you manage to make the beautiful quilts that you do. I’m British and have no knowledge of boats at all so I’ve loved hearing about what you do.
