Two Left Hands

John wrote the last post and at the time it was perfectly right but things change so much here so quickly that what I am about to say almost sounds like a contradiction - as if the right hand does not know what the left is doing. Actually, we are both left handed and we do sing off the same hymn-sheet, most of the time anyway.
We have decided that maybe the yacht "Blue Heron" is not what we want to live on after all. It is just not big enough with enough storage room. Pity, we have lots have good memories of the time we were on it from Tauranga to Whangarei via Mayor Island, the Mercuries, Great Barrier, and then back down via other side of Gt. Barrier and White Island as far Napier where we had to get off because of bad weather for yachts and rush home for Christmas with the family via the inter island ferry.
We are still looking for a yacht we can live on and have some affection for because I am sure we won't last long on the water if we don't and deep down we don't want to be quitters.
I have to record here that that the person who owns "Blue Heron" has that feeling for her, although not as a live-aboard yacht but does not really want to part with her.
After a lot of research, John's/our experiences on delivery trips ( me the guest more really) and good advice from our long term yacht-living friends we are pretty narrowed down to what we really want and there is not a lot of it out there on the market. In fact there is only one that looks like it.
In the meantime we still own "Wild Thyme" and there is an offer on it subject to the marina management being able to rearrange the boats around them because of the wide beam ( always a Warren/Magee problem) and wondering if ours would fit in their privately owned narrow berth.
What do you do??
Well, maybe you don't have to be a "Southpaw" to work it out the way we have but seeing we are going to Brisbane anyway from end of May for about 6 weeks we have decided to get the household storage people in to take our chattels away and into storage and rent the house of our dreams out to some other people that will hopefully look after it well, and move on to "Wild Thyme" until we fly to Brisbane on 27th May. We are hoping that while we are in Brisbane that the berthing thing will be solved and that we have a new yacht to come home to on the 18th July.
So we are busy getting the house ready - need to paint that wall that took ages to build and plaster and put in some bathroom fan/heater/light units. Apart from the final clean-thru thats all really.
In between that we are looking for our dream yacht.
I hope everyone is well.
