Rockport Harbor
"At the beach, life is different. Time doesn't
move hour to hour but mood to moment. We live by the currents, plan by the
tides and follow the sun." —Unknown
A little work and a little
play...that's what's been keeping us busy these days. We've been getting a few
projects done on the boat between playing with our grand wonders and visiting
with friends. Besides doing a little decorating and a lot of enjoying of our
new home, the following projects have been completed:
Fixed the horns
Teak oiled all interior wood
Fixed the spotlights
Fixed entertainment system
and installed new TV
Replaced bulbs in all lights
fixtures
Fixed wet bar
Cleaned boat exterior and
removed ICW mustache
We've picked out tile for the
galley floor and have a sofa we'd like to order for the saloon but those things
will have to wait until we have more time next year. We're enjoying our new
town and spending time with family, but our time in Texas is flying by fast. Only
four more weeks until we'll be heading back to The Pearl.
Stan and I have literally
been in hundreds of towns while cruising and we both agree Rockport truly has
EVERYTHING we look for in a great stop. In fact neither of us could think of
one other place that we’ve been that offers so much so close to our boat. The
only thing missing are our cruising friends.
Our son trying to figure out where some wires go...I think he likes the boat.

We finally have a chair in the saloon...all we need now is a sofa.
We're going to use nice dishes on this boat...Wedgwood dishes that belonged to my great grandma.
A couple of friends came and spent the weekend with me on the boat...a great place for a girls night out.
Views from our beach...a great place for a morning walk.
Your post is perfectly timed for us! We're going to head down to Texas at the end of this month as we start the search for our next sailboat. We thought we would check out boats etc in Texas first before making our way over to Florida and then up the East Coast. I'm sure our next boat is waiting out there for us - maybe she is in Rockport :-)
ReplyDeleteGood luck on the hunt. Sometimes the hunt can be a great adventure. I hope you find the perfect boat sooner than later.
DeleteSometimes no real news is good news! Congrats on checking projects off your list!
ReplyDeleteGreat photos! Looks like you have been very busy. What it is that they say about cruising? - "Cruising is doing boat maintenance in exotic places..."
ReplyDeleteYour boat looks gorgeous.
