First Blog of 2016 Great Loop Adventure, Part 2

BACK ON PEARL 

I wanted to be able to start this second phase of the blog by saying that everything is wonderful. Being back on Pearl feels like being home. We are so happy to be here. We are already losing track of the days and settling into boat life. 

All this is true, but every day one important thing goes wrong, causing a bit of anxiety. Hopefully this is just part of the “shake down” phase of getting started and eventually we will find smooth sailing. 

The alternator
The sore throat
The IPad
The propane
The gray-water pump
Forwarding the mail
This missing 2017 boat decal and registration
Two missing lines
The cost of waxing the boat

Note: In our third week, we have resolved most of these issues and are getting back into boat-life. It just didn't happen immediately like we expected it to.
