The hectic days of boatyard stress are behind us, as are the days in the Marina, fixing those last few (critical) systems. We&rsquo;ve found a sleepy beachfront to anchor in front of and, with no transportation, have settled into leisurely days of kids floating beside the boat, easy conversation, and no plans to speak of.</p> <p>This transition to cruising-proper is one that you can&rsquo;t see but in hindsight. I think it started three or four days ago when we returned our scooter. It was given a boost by our recent depletion of funds, which strengthens our resolve to stay put. We&rsquo;ve got another kid boat nearby (Quasar) so ours have a friend to occupy the day. They come home exhausted and hungry, and crash out early, leaving plenty of time for Vick and I to play games and share a couple of ciders.</p>
