Our boat, Henry J

We found a boat today. Huge, old, wooden, peeling paint, torn curtains, makeshift stairs and a broken window and its perfect. Bruce said it’s not far from being seaworthy, but that doesn’t matter. The further the better actually. Michael and I aren’t really people of the sea. I am scared of deep water and what’s in it, and salt water makes Michaels eyes hurt. So we are living on the boat, on land. We are driving it into the middle of the woods and making it into our house. It’s small, and we might drive eachother crazy by the end, but it’s worth the risk. We want to do something different. We want to live far away from brick and pavement. We want to be inspired and build and create. It seems like an insane idea, but the more people tell us the things that could and probably will go wrong, the more we want to prove that we can do it. We are both stubborn enough to absolutely let our pride get in the way, and we will live on our boat. Today is Sunday, August 15th 2010 and we are getting ready to set sail.
