Changes in Latitude, Changes in Altitude

P0002074The crew of Ma’alahi is alive and well, although quite road-weary. After leaving Ma’alahi on the hard at Glades Boat Storage in Florida, we’ve driven to San Antonio, then Dallas, Arkansas, back to Dallas, to Houston, back to San Antonio, Dallas AND THEN back to Florida, San Antonio, Dallas and now … Denver. The return to Florida was a real quick one, just to collect more of our stuff off the boat and make sure she’s enjoying her Florida vacation. We’re happy to report that all was well. P0002113Upon our return to Texas we picked up our 34 ft. travel trailer where it was being serviced after sitting on the hard itself for the past 3 years. We added new tires, brakes, wheel bearings, water heater, toilet, faucet and my favorite … refrigerator. It’s just like owning another boat! We then pulled it up to Dallas (where we had more of our stuff stored) and began moving in. Tuesday morning we began a 2-day passage and arrived in the Denver area yesterday afternoon. Here we’ll visit my mom and dad for awhile and then I’ll start work at a job that I think I have in Denver (a phone call later today should confirm or deny that rumor). So, yeah, we’re gonna try something new for awhile, but just as with the boat we’ll still be mobile and when we decide we’ve had enough we’ll migrate again. When we think we’ve made enough money we’ll go back to the boat and begin the repairs on her with a goal of getting back to the Caribbean and taking off these shoes!

      1. I retired from AT&T after 21 years, July 2018.
        I sold my house a month later, and started looking for a boat.
        I had gone to the brokerage dock to look at a Gozzard 36, and saw her then.
        I fell in love with her before I even stepped on board.
        I took possession the beginning of October, 2018.
        So far we have only been out on Galveston bay, but I hope to do some longer voyages with her.
        If you are ever in the area, I would love to meet you.
