Introduction

Going There...
The short version...  a liveaboard cruiser, touring the waterways of Ontario, Canada, and maybe, hopefully, eventually...  the world.

Getting Here...
The short version...  working, children, hobby farm, survivalist...  house fire.  Homeless, broken, broken hearted...  moving to town.  Empty, annoyed, failed garden, hated house.  Children growing, children grown, children leaving, almost empty nest syndrome.  Buying a boat.

The Kayak Chaser

27' Sun Tracker Pontoon Party Barge, with a full camper top, bar and bbq.  On board The Kayak Chaser we finally started to feel alive again.  There was joy and peace in life, and we were moving forward.

Husband...  Heart attack.  Triple bypass.  A year for recovery.

Gilligan

Gilligan...  Congo African Grey Parrot.  Husband's reward for surviving surgery.  Therapy pet.  Best friend.  Toddler.  Our baby.

Summer of 1812

Boat renovations...  Building a bed, adding cupboards, space for Gilligan, solar power...  The Kayak Chaser to Georgian Bay - 2019 - for the Summer of 1812.

Home to the hated house.  Planning New Adventures.  A New Boat.  A New Life.

So far, all we have is a name.  The dream is alive, and the search has begun, for Gilligan's Perch.
