Le Bateau

Sorry I haven't posted much this week. At first my time was consumed building a tutu tote (probably best if you just don't ask about that one), and I've been sick for the rest of the week. Bleh.

We went to see the folks about the boat last weekend (not the exact boat shown in the photo, but same model/length/year/motor/colours,etc.)

It's a good little boat. It's in great repair and the engine looks really clean. We've asked the current owners to get the motor marine tested for us (so we know it's good because a mechanic says so), but if everything goes well we should have a boat soon. We're stymied right now because they won't take it in for the marine testing until the temperature no longer drops below freezing overnight. Also, apparently the docks at Wood Duck are below water in the spring, so until the water-level dips, there's nowhere for us to tie the boat up anyway!

And so... we wait.

I suppose we could always put the canoe into the water and paddle over to the island in the short term to start some of the interior clean up activities. *ponder scheme*
