2- What’s Been Going On Since Last Post

Hello Everyone, Things have been very busy since our first post. In early March we left Over Yonder in Jacksonville and drove to Pittsbugh to visit our son, then Kentucky to see Regina’s family and finally to Cincinnati to see our daughter. We dropped off one of our cars in Kentucky for safe keeping during our big adventure. Could not believe that it was snowing. We also visited one of Craig’s former high school teachers and his wife, Ken and Jeri.
We flew back to Destin, FL to clear out our storage unit there and then crossed to state to Jacksonville. At this time we have our ‘home’ items in one 5X10 storage unit and our ‘boat’ things in another one. We hope to have the boat storage unit emptied by the time we leave the marina to start our trip.
Over Yonder is so very messy. We move things during the day to the V-Berth to get them out of the way and then move the out so we can sleep. Slowly we are progressing in getting items organized. Our quarter berth is jam-packed with all of our project supplies. Many, many projects to complete before we leave out of Jacksonville.
Water Tanks……We have flushed both our water tanks numerous times with a clorox solution and just finished doing the fresh water flushes. Discovered that our forward tank holds 117 gallons and our midship tank holds 57 gallons. That is more that the Cabo Rico manufacturing information stated. We count ourselves that lucky that all the original purchase documents from the factory have survived for these last 30 years. We have all the diagrams and even the leather portfolio that the Cabo Rico factory supplied with each new boat.

Another great milestone this week was getting the galley clean and cooking our first real HOT meal on the boat. Nothing too fancy but we were happy.

full disclosure, while the dining area is neat, this is the opposite side of the boat
