I have to be honest here. I have dreamed of getting to the place I am right now. I am physically recovered enough to give it a whirl. I have a bunch of work to do between now and the end of July. But I am getting that itch to get moving.
The hard part of this is realizing that when I bought Mary Lee, it was a desperate stab at getting away from laying in a bed waiting to die. That is how it felt. I really had no business buying a boat :-)
It has been 5 years of very difficult struggles. I am not as recovered as I hope to be. I am seriously still working at losing extra weight. Hopefully this season with Showstopper sees me thinner and stronger at the end. No matter. I am heading up to the Chesapeake bay whether everything is done or not.
I just need an electric windlass, autopilot and a better bank of batteries. I can do things as I go. But go I will
It is all I can do to contain myself. Apparently I am really feeling better.
The smoothy recipe I am sticking with for now. One each: orange, apple, carrot, banana. A small amount of blueberries, raspberries, grapes. Broccoli, spinach. Powdered greens, powdered beet. A few walnuts. A tablespoon of natural peanut butter. A drizzle of black strap molasses. A dribble of avocado oil(Dr. Oz said using a little on salads allows us to get four times the nutrients out of it. There are a few liquid vitamins and minerals that go in it. A bit of water because otherwise it is pretty thick.
It is ugly to look at, but tastes fine.
I have been debating on what to do for cooking. I have propane. No oven. The gimballed stove was removed by a previous owner. I have two gas burners. I bought a Nu-wave burner to try after listening to Steve and Linda (Yesterday's Dream) talk about the ones they installed.
