So this boat of yours is really excited for you to get to know her inside and out - like this is her “in arms” phase where you have loads of contact, get to know one another well, establish those bonds, deepen the trust, get in tune with one another? As the daughter of a vet, this reminds me so much of taking in a rescue pup - a lot of work, time, effort, energy, but with such a huge, fantastic payoff for all. And from where I’m sitting, what you guys are doing *still* sounds fun and exciting. P.S. - If you do end up at IKEA, please post before and after pics (I’m a junkie for stuff like that).

So it goes, ever and always. And Ikea is a boon to boat life. Don Quixote is littered with Ikea experiments, some of which “stick” and some of which spend a few weeks kicking around before being freecycled as clearly unsuitable. Ping me offline if you’d like the itemized success/failure list for Ikea.

Side note… do you know about the big boat flea mart coming in Aug in Marin?

Oh, I can so see that whole thing unravelling in my mind’s eye … what a staggering task.

Would some execrable word-play on “Easter egg” lighten the work?

Excellent Adventure’s SubText: Extensively Ravelled Excreta Gets Gone (another metaphor for the process of divestiture, eh?)

Excellent Adventure Says, Tatty Electrics Rarely Enable Great Graphics (an understatement if there ever was one)

Ack, stop me, I’ve got work to do! I could keep this up for _days_.

Love & hugs. I’m still starry-eyed from reading about her coming in through the Gate.
