Well its started...
The big and scary leap.
...Truck price is confirmed...date still flexible. (give or take a couple of days)
List of "have to complete: before launch" getting smaller....(not because they are done, but because time is now ticking.}
Three weeks to transport !
I decided two years ago that I could spend "years" getting the boat finished. Well two years later, I have decided that I didnt listen to myself !! Much as the building has been (and still is) a most enlightening journey, frustration and the need for bigger paddocks call. After all these years, the last thing I want to end up with is a memory of boredom or resentment.
SO....time to move.
I KNOW that any work done on the boat after this will be harder...
I KNOW that I will soon get sick of the travel...
I KNOW that it will be harder to keep the allready small amount of money comming in..
I KNOW that the reality of a complete disconnection from the last many years will be tough...
BUT
I KNOW that its time !
I KNOW that I have somehow slowed down over the last few years, and dont like the thought of age and bad habbits getting in the way of some serious adventure.

I DONT KNOW why that ....that kid, who is still me...who spent hours sitting in imaginary boats, Dreaming.......who still does......who has now had more "BOAT" than most people.........still takes a deep breath, and cant help but smile at the wonderfull thought of...
"Gliding with a gentle breeze...the sounds of migratory birds , invisible to the eyes but even if they didnt make a sound , I can see them.
A beam of light, that is often writen about in fiction.........as though it is not real.....Oh yes...it is real. Very real.
It is simply the joy of moonlight on the water.......No matter which direction you chose on these nights, it will trace a magic path in front of you.....in the direction you chose."
It is "jannali"
