Lauderdale and other locales until we arrived in Daytona Beach in mid 2018.&nbsp; Where the boat has been safely tied ever since.<\/p>\n<p>We watched our house be built from foundation, to framing to completion in April 2019.&nbsp; Since then, we stayed busy setting it up and enjoying the transition.&nbsp; Moving to land means having to buy EVERYTHING for the house that we had sold when we moved aboard.&nbsp; This was an undertaking.<\/p>\n<p>When we first moved in we both commented on how weird it is to have to walk so much to get from one end of the house to the other.&nbsp; We were used to only having to take a couple steps to get to the other side of the boat.&nbsp; This land based living is a workout!<\/p>\n<p>With the house mostly set up, (who needs dining room chairs?) we decided it&#8217;s time to go cruising again for a few months.<\/p>\n<p>Every free minute these past two months we (mostly Bob) have been consumed getting Dreamtime ready to go again.&nbsp; Cleaning, cleaning, cleaning, engine work, polishing and did I mention cleaning?<\/p>\n<p>With our planned departure less than a week away, we are starting to put things back on the boat, and she is getting ready to move.&nbsp; The waterline is dropping again.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Time to dust off this website and start updating again because s\/v Dreamtime is going cruising!!!!
