One month anniversary

On 29th July, we moved full-time onto our boat

One month anniversary

That's gone quickly!

Although, we did spend nearly the whole of the first week going to and fro between the boat, our storage container and Wythenshawe. We also spent part of a week in Nottingham with our sons (including our only night away from the boat).

We continue to get better organised within the boat to make the best use of the limited space, today will be another trip to our storage container to take some stuff we don't need and retrieve some we do.

It has been good to take time to get out together. That includes 6 walks on the Anglesey Coastal Path (we record them on Strava via our Garmin watches). If you are on Strava or Garmin Connect you are welcome to follow me to see where we walk and cycle as we prepare for and start sailing. I hope we will complete the full Anglesey Coastal path while we are here (the personal Strava heatmap is the easiest way to monitor that). Yesterday, we completed the south corner of Anglesey (opposite Caernarfon). It included the picturesque Rhuddgaer Stepping Stones

This Sunday will be our fourth going to St John's Methodist Church in Bangor, that's the most services in a row I've sat in a congregation with Jane for 20 years (probably more like 25 years as I was often not at our home Church from when I started local preacher training). It's interesting and refreshing.

Also personally it's easy to see how reduced stress has had a positive impact. I've lost weight, without struggling, so far 7.4kg and feeling a lot better for it.

We have also made a lot of varied progress on the boat refit, although it might look rather dominated by ADHD like as few jobs are completed (I maintain there are good reasons for that, but time will tell).
