Have you ever seriously thought about living your dream? We did and now we are full time cruisers onboard M/V Big Run. Everyday is a new page to be written in our ship's log as we travel to new places and revisit some ol' favorites. Come along and share our experiences and journeys.

Welcome to our Adventure

T-Minus 5 and Counting

     May was a very busy month.  In addition to our transition work we also found time to attend the wedding of our best friend's daughter  -  Congratulations Matt & Lindsey.  These 2 kids will make it work.
     Sharon and I managed to find time on one weekend for our first cruise of the season.  I did manage to steal some time to go to the boat and start the installations of all the toys "Santa" brought back in April.
     We had 2 of the 3 yard sale dates in May.  Round 1 far exceeded our expectations.  The weather was perfect and we had an excellent turnout.  We managed to move about 75% of the stuff we had out for sale for that day.  Round 2 was held on the Saturday of Memorial Day weekend. It was another great yard selling day.  Again we sold 75% of what we had out for sale.  The only items we have left to put out for our last planned yard sale in June are some season and recreational clothing in addition to what didn't sell in round 2.  After the 2nd yard sale date I said to Sharon that we are now committed (and should be committed) to becoming full time cruisers - we sold all of our possessions and it would take 5 times our yard sale receipts to replace everything we sold.
     Sharon and I also made a run to the boat in mid-May and took what possessions we have left to the boat.  My truck was full in the cab and the truck bed.  Sharon's jeep was also filled.  The only things left to move are some more clothing and ourselves.
