New Dawn over the GalaxSea!#boatlife #SailingtheGalaxSea #sliceoflife #boatdog #peacefulvibe

Today's boat chore list: install port trampoline, fill water tanks & make 4 new lifeline gates !!! #boatmaintenance #boatlife #SailingtheGalaxSea #sliceoflife

Finally installing our new trampolines from Sunrise Yacht Products out of St. Petersburg, Florida! All the online installation videos showed how to install rectangular and irregular quadrilateral tramoilines--not a parabolic shape! Thus made it very interesting! #sunriseyachtproducts #boatlife #sliceoflife #SailingtheGalaxSea #boatmaintenance

After working on projects below, I started laying out the trampolines. We grabbed a buggy and treated our Sister boat 'Crazy Girl' to ice cream downtown. they bought a new American flag and replaced a shredded and torn flag at a vacant house which is for sale. #SailingtheGalaxSea #sliceoflife #boatlife #peacefulvibe

Boatlife - the dogs didn't notice our crabby visitor. I took them on a long walk which got longer after we grabbed a marina cart and explored... #boatlife #sliceoflife #SailingtheGalaxSea #boatdog

Between cramped spaces, heat/humidity, thunderstorms rolling trough shutting down work--that was a little difficult to do! However, Nova's new heat exchanger is installed and testing begins!#SailingtheGalaxSea #sliceoflife #boatlife #enginework #boatdog

Relaxing after a very hot, humid day, had thunderstorms at one point in the afternoon! Angie is on a girl's weekend in Arizona with her sisters and their mother. The dogs, cat and I are working on the projects needed so that we bass can leave this marina! #boatlife #sliceoflife #peacefulvibe #SailingtheGalaxSea #boatdog

I used to paint. I kept these two to hang in GalaxSea's Starboard hull (a.k.a. the man cave) Marley moved over to the port princess seat! #peacefulvibe #sliceoflife #boatlife #SailingtheGalaxSea #boatdog

Learning to relax more....after so many decades of working hard! #SailingtheGalaxSea #boatlife #sliceoflife #peacefulvibe

Small world! I found pictures online of a 1990 Privilege 39 with uncommon stripes that I patterned GalaxSea's stripes after--that very same boat, 'Crazy Girl' just pulled in from Florida yesterday. We got a lot of little projects done! #SailingtheGalaxSea #boatlife #sliceoflife #peacefulvibe #boatdog

We had a severe storm roll through in the middle of the night! Tornado warning over Belhaven, torrential rains and lightning--what a show! None of the violent thunder we hear in the Midwest but oh....what a lightening show!! (only two close strikes!) #sliceoflife #boatlife #SailingtheGalaxSea

Walked the pups, sat down to enjoy sunset with a dark & stormy rum...Just hours before we were in a tornado warning, severe thunderstorm and 45 minutes of intense lightning! ( see next video ) #SailingtheGalaxSea #boatdog #boatlife #sliceoflife #peacefulvibe

Morning view doing astro-turf training before their morning walk. #sliceoflife #peacefulvibe #boatlife #SailingtheGalaxSea #boatdog

Unloaded everything from the truck and Galactica (both are to be sold) Now to sort and stow everything we're keeping, pull aside donations and excess stuff to sell or pitch as required... But hey, we have AC on the boat now!!! #SailingtheGalaxSea #boatlife #peacefulvibe #sliceoflife

We did it! We officially moved aboard GalaxSea! We towed Galactica with us to sell in North Carolina! Now, to get everything stowed, do a few repair/maintenance projects before sailing North towards New York or Connecticut for the rest of the summer! #sliceoflife #peacefulvibe #boatlife #SailingtheGalaxSea #boatdog

Putting Old Red into long term storage while we live aboard GalaxSea--and covering skylights that leak bad and look like they've leaked for the past decade. Missouri has extremely harsh variances in weather, last round of Hail made leaks worse! #peacefulvibe #rurallife #sliceoflife

Hey Wilson! Wrapping up projects... need to sell Galactica which I have totally drug my feet on--loved that boat. Slice of life as we begin packing to leave! #rurallife #peacefulvibe #sliceoflife #pets #SailingtheGalaxSea

Received GalaxSea's new lifeline gates hardware--cutting it close!!! winding down prepations and starting to pack for the boat! Juno & Sailor supervise community chores...#sliceoflife #peacefulvibe #rurallife #pets

Probably one more dumpster run, few more recycling & donation runs. I need to list our 2010 MacGregor 26M Galactica for sale, she had a 2010 Evinrude Etec 60hp and a 2014 upgraded Pioneer Float-on trailer. I've had a hard time doing that and it probably has bit us on timing. #rurallife #sliceoflife #peacefulvibe #pets

Juno's Little Adventures: just a recycling run and noticing the corn crops are looking fantastic! we were just days away from moving onto GalaxSea but my VA appointment got moved back a week. Still, getting close!#sliceoflife #rurallife #peacefulvibe #pets
