It is now 11 o'clock and we are in the water. It was very exiting and I will soon write more about it.

Dec 8
We have made a major step and are living on the boat, still on the hard, but now we can make it our own, what means that I constantly transfer stuff from one place to another.
We had a rough night, because we were very busy and we didn’t pay any attention to the weather. Until now we went home when the sun was gone, but yesterday it got colder by the minute. So at seven o’clock we went to Wal-Mart to buy a little heater. The cabin was soon acceptable, but when we went to bed, the bedrooms are lower in the hulls,it was (for my feeling freezing) very cold, so today back to a Wal-Mart to buy warm flannel pants and sweaters. This night it will be cold again, but we are prepared now and than we are back to more normal temperatures.
But we are still exited and it was nice that we had a conference call via Skype with the whole family, really nice.

Jacques is chasing trough the whole Pensacola area for some little pipe nipple he needs to finish the toilet project. He knows exactly all the Home Depots, Lowes and West Marines in the greater Pensacola area, we are really very happy that we have the car here.
The first place we go when we need something as screws, bolts etc. is a little store near by run by a lady, whom we have baptized as “screw-Mary” (in dutch “schroeven-Truus”), who really has every screw you can think of, just not that little pipe Jacques is desperately looking for, she already has a big smile on her face when we show up, because when we were there the first time and told we are fixing up a boat she told us we see each other a lot.
It’s warming up again so we can start painting the bottom.
See you soon.

Weather and clothing
I have started this chapter now for the third time, because when I wanted to change it I pushed the wrong button and whoop its gone, making me a little p.. with myself, so I will tell about the clothing and weather in upcoming episodes and will try to get this short message out to the world.
Still a happy Ria
