What a week. My parents came to visit on Sunday the 1st. We left that afternoon for our first big boating trip. We went out and up to Salem, MA since my sis wanted to go there real bad. It was a ton of fun, if not a bit nerve wracking, but we made it just fine and it was great to dock in a different marina for a night. The ride back was more relaxed, since we knew what we were doing a bit better. Then, on the morning of the 4th of July we took the boat through the locks system up the Charles River and anchored out for 24 hours! It was sweet. Disasters happened, both with our boat and with others on the river, but through some improvising and brainstorming all crises were averted and a great time was had. I can perhaps explain more later, but I'm in a hurry for now. It was lots of fun and we feel like we've finally been able to really use our boat for boating and not just for living... it was awesome. Pics to come, hopefully.

picture time!
Well, with our limited internet access we have an abundance of pictures to put up. This is just some of them, in no real particular order:
This big beast came to visit us a while back. It is the USS Nashville, an amphibious command center type of thing.
I finally caught a fish, but have yet to figure out what it really was.
Here is a close up.
They took the USS Constitution out and turned it around on a very rainy Bunker Hill Day.
Looks like an awesome ghost ship.
Nashville and Constitution both.
My friend Amy came to visit from New York. Her and Jenny and I hung out on memorial weekend/day.
Amy took a real pic of Jenny and I on the boat... not too many of these yet. Thanks Amy!
This boat, Canim, pulled into the marina for a couple days. It is so sweet because it looks just like the boat that Mr. Herzog pulled over the mountain in the movie "Fitzcarraldo".
Just a cool, rainy, choppy day on the water.
Me, hoping to catch some fish.
Thats all for now!

3 weeks
Dang, it's been like 3 weeks since we've posted. Ah well, such is life with no internet. The sticker reading, "the Fitzcarraldo" finally came in the mail yesterday, so it will be officially renamed soon. We will have to get some champagne and have a renaming ceremony so as not to offend Poseiden. That'll be fun. We have a few pictures to post, but... for another day.
Here is a pic of Poseiden/Neptune looking all majestic to keep you entertained in the meantime:
