Seasick



So it's a good thing we are not putting our boat on the water. Michael and I have been up at camp the past few days and I yesterday especially it was super windy. We were both sitting on the float after jumping in the water and as it is bobbing up and down we both felt seasick. On a lake.

A few great things came out of our visit this week. We changed the location of the boat to make it simpler to move in and easier to power. It is still in the woods, no worries. We also have experienced multiple glimmers of hope with the whole moving a 38ft wooden boat thing. We have talked to maybe a dozen people/companies and everyone has pointed us to one company after laughing at how large the boat is. Michael says that all of the conversations have been the same.
Michael: We are looking for some help moving a boat
Them: Thats what we do, how far?
Michael: Its about an hour drive
Them: No problem, now is the boat fiberglass?
Michael: Wooden
Them: Oh...hmmm.....well how big is it?
Michael: 38 feet
Them: Hah! Thats a big boat! No we can't move that...try CWC
So we called CWC and they are on vacation until the 30th. So we wait. In the meantime, I posted an ad on Craigslist to see if any crazy mainer with a trailer would want to help us out. I feel like I may get a few takers.
