TWO lightning strikes leave us on the dock for SIX MONTHS - Part 1

So yea. The title says it all. We spend SIX MONTHS (almost seven!) on the dock at Harbour Town Marina, in Ft. Lauderdale, after being struck by lightning twice in a row! And we have been all up in our feelings. This whole year has been an emotional rollercoaster for us. We started by selling our home, the business, our boats, and trading our entire lifestyle, that we were really comfortable with, for the adventure of liveaboard sailing. And to have it just abruptly end like this, has been really discouraging. We questioned if we made the right decision, what are we thinking, should we just sell now and forget this craziness?! That isn't what we want to do; those are just the thoughts you have in these situations. We made the most of the time on our hands! The kids thoroughly enjoyed living with their grandparents. Aria took advantage of grandma's pool and learned to swim. Wes started first grade and is off to a great start! We visited lots of friends and lots of family, we took day trips, field trips, lake trips, and play dates. And we accomplished a few things that had been put off before we left. So all in all, we stayed busy. But definitely, everyone is ready to get back out cruising!
