Ship’s Log

Day 1

8/25/2016- Alameda, CA

Yesterday we completed all the paperwork and closed on our boat and the new name of this vessel is New Adventures. The whole process has been very easy to complete. Now that all is said and done a load of questions comes forth as we now work to figure out our new boat.

I spent yesterday evening cleaning the forepeak with simple green which did a beautiful job on the headliner and wood. The smell is improving on the boat, which did smell quite like a boat. I’ve taken measurements for maximizing the space with simple organization so we are not fighting to find or get the items we need. There is quite a lot of room in the v-berth, it became apparent the our fitted sheet will not work as its as big as a king sized at the entry point aft. No problem there, all I have to use is another flat sheet. 

I did not sleep as well as I would have preferred. Somehow Tim always finds the dark side of the bed in hotels and on boats! We chose to leave the door open because it was stuffy with it closed. The v-berth is quite comfortable all in all. I do feel rested today and ready to set to work simply cleaning everything from top to bottom. The boat is quite dirty. It needs a simple spring cleaning.

I’m in slow motion today as I listen to the ship’s clock ticking while sipping my morning coffee. I’m sitting here thinking how I have been so anxious about handling the boat and this marina that the boat is parked in is quite derelict and the water is shallow. Where I have been hesitant to just get going, I am now let’s get out of here ASAP! As Tim and I know better, we cannot rush this phase of provisioning, sea trailing and checking before sailing from Alameda to San Diego. Inside I feel like I don’t want to even go back home, let’s begin now. I think I am ready for this next phase. But first we must take inventory here, clean and check out all the boat and it’s systems. We will return home later today to finish settling the affairs of the house and collect what we need to get ourselves ready to go and purchase additional items that will be needed to make this our home as well as being a sea-going vessel.

I'm so happy and proud of you guys!! (and a bit envious)
But I'm working on that last bit.
May the good Lord surround your boat with His angels in all the days of your new life.!!

    Tim & Lynette Jenné have their feet firmly planted in midair. We don't know what tomorrow brings, but are very excited to see what surprises come our way. ​Tim's favorite leadership quote is, "If you want to build a ship, don't drum up people to collect wood and don't assign them tasks and work, but rather teach them to long for the endless immensity of the sea." Antoine de Saint-Exupery
