The bright and shiny days of summer inevitably shorten. The days of lounging in the cockpit enjoying the sun would soon go away and we would be faced with the slowly fading days of fall.
After we settled in to the "new" boat, we began to settle in to the rigmarole of living life. Dovid had his income so I had to find mine. I ended up spending a lot of time looking for a job so that we could make ends meet.
Days were spent at the Workforce office using their computers to job hunt. I finally found a gig within walking distance and we settled into a routine that ended up lasting THREE YEARS. O_O
One thing that came out of the trips to the Workforce office: I found out the local community college had a MARITIME program. I began the process of applying for financial aid and prepared to learn more about navigation and spend some time on the Columbia River
Stay tuned for more about the school days next week. ^_^
Thanks for reading!

Below are links to press regarding the sailing trip around the world. Plus, a local Portland, OR TV station may pick it up as well. Stay tuned!
