Well, technically it’s been one month at dock, anchor, mooring ball and at sea. What’s important is that we’ve been living on the boat for a month now and Ryan and I are still talking! I’ll take that as success! We’ve all adjusted fairly well I think to being stuck in a small space. We take Stanley to shore at least twice a day and we get on and off and go walk around so we haven’t gotten too claustrophobic yet. This first month has been about settling in though and we haven’t quite found our groove yet. Ryan has been really busy with some boat chores that require his expertise (installing a water maker) and random boat issues that are a result of us breaking in the boat. I’ve been stealing an hour here and there to do some things but still haven’t gotten the 3 hours 4 times a week that I was looking for to focus on self improvement. I think now that we are settled in though we’ll start to get into more of a routine.

We have been having a great time exploring and getting a taste for the East Coast. We’ve been doing that history thing and just spending time walking through (or paddling our kayaks through) some of the neighborhoods here. I really like the East Coast so far, at least the parts we’ve seen. It’s a interesting view to visit places by water. We can only visit as far inland as we can walk or bike ride! All the towns on the water just seem prettier! 🙂 We’re in Annapolis now and really like it here. The town is great, the people are friendly and it doesn’t hurt that it finally warmed up!

All in all I’d say it’s been a pretty good first month. Here are a few of the highlights….
