Isabelle said today, I want to go home.....oh dear. Where to begin? Sweetie, we live on a boat now.
We have survived the first night! After a quick trip to town yesterday to get a set of sheets and pillows, as ours are to be picked up in St Thomas next week, we were ready to spend the night aboard.
The girls used the shower on board for a quick hose down, then got cosy in their new berth for the night. I, on the other hand, took the liberty of having one of my last long showers in the marina... a choice that will be repeated until we check out of here.
We decided not to get A/C when ordering the boat, as it chews through energy/ battery life etc, but without fans ( which will also be picked up next week) things were getting pretty sweaty down below! Thankfully by early morning things had cooled down and when we got up in the morning we all put a jumper on, it was fresh!
It's been a good day, not too much outstanding left in the BVI to do. The boat name was put on today, picture will be uploaded ASAP, a few hours of battery charging, and some more nappies purchased. Bit of swimming this afternoon will help cool off some little people, and big people alike.
Not too long before this ship will set sail!
