The Living Quarters!


Hey guys, saw the Welsh sun for the first time since arriving, its been rainy and windy most of the time I've been here which ain't to great because you've gotta go pick a boat in the boatyard and "water" it when nature calls and when youve gotta answer a call and do some reading youv'e gotta hike to the boatyards loo. Lol Beautiful day today, finally got my luggage! (after being 4 days without it.) and put some clean clothes on. Cooked some sweet porkchops for dinner and have had more tea and "biscuits" in 3 days than my entire life, pretty good stuff though! Spent the day trying to find a second hand bike to bruise around on and doing other such stuff, not too much work as were waiting for a electric welding "stud gun" which gets in tommorow so we can start attaching wood to metal! Got the "Aft Cabin" designed and started construction on it yesterday. (made wood bulkheads.) Anyways here pics of the inside! (these are from fore to aft w/ no picture of the fo'xl which is the formost cabin and is small, the yellow stuff is insulation.)

In Wales!


Well Guys I made it! Everything I hoped for, pics of Cardiff and the boat will follow soon! Been a crazy few days, in fact just finished having some hard cider with a tibetan monk (he wasnt drinking it.) a 32 yr old german climber, drew and dave while watching american Idol of all things. American Airlines lost my bags so I should get them tuesday so I may smell a little but now but big deal. The boat is surpisingly real warm and cozy which is fantastic because its been cold and rainy for the past two days and weve done nothing but sit around inside, do a few things, play some guitar, and wait to be able to get stuff done. Got a sweet meal at a classic old pub called the halfway, had a pint of dark with some lamb sausages and mash and peas, best meal of my life. The boat show was phenomenal, heres a pic of Drew ( young dude) Dave, ( crazy welsh dude) and I at the london boat show which was a blast after we finally made it there. Bout to hit the sack but so far, havin a sweet adventure, more pics and posts will follow, Take er-easy, Andy
