Almost there

It's really hard to believe that the year 2015 is more than half over. It's also hard to believe that we've been here in Oxford for about 7 weeks but in those 7 weeks we have accomplished a great deal. We came here with a "to do" list with 46 items on it and we have completed all but a few that should be completed this week. In addition to the boat work we've been getting a year's worth of medical appointments completed. As usual everything takes longer than expected and several of the medical appointments required follow-up actions all of which should be completed this week.

Some views of the Annapolis waterfront where we've had to go to get things and met friends.

We have also been using the time to provision for our future and packing things into the boat that will be used. So with all this our weeks have been very busy.

Working through the weeks has almost seemed like a throwback to our previous life. We drove into DC rush hour several times for early appointments and came home in the evening rush. After having been where we have it is now hard to imagine we lived in that life for so many years. Falling back into so many of our old places and routines at times made it feel like we never left. But once we get moving again the enjoyment will return.

But the busy weeks have been surrounded by fun weekends getting out with friends and spending a few hours out on the water. Hasn't been much wind but we've had opportunities to test out repairs and adjustments that we've made in preparation for continuing on to new places.

As we are getting closer we will try to return to more frequent comments since there will be more new places and things to report.
