It felt like a castle!

Two bathrooms! Woo woo!

A rectangular bed!

Heat. (We were cold a lot during our southbound trip.)

Everything was stable. On the boat, there was almost constant motion from the currents and waves.

It was a thrilling trip but we're glad to be home.

Today, we're buying a car as we sold both of ours before we left. How does one store a car for 6+ months?
