We've been having the bathroom in our condo redone, and what we expected would be two nights aboard Intention has turned into almost two weeks. WE ARE THRILLED!! We are learning what it's like to ACTUALLY live aboard our amazing boat, and do that we are really impressed! We were getting low on diesel and our holding tank was probably about two-thirds full, so we motored over to Van Isle Marina to fuel up and pump out. As we were leaving Tsehum Harbour, the Sun was shining and there was around 10 knots of wind. OF COURSE we went sailing!!
