Moving in, moving on

Sunday night was our first night aboard Yarwood and our first night sleeping in a 'cupboard'. 
There had been a couple of trips made ferrying our goods and chattels from boat to boat (still more to come) and for the most part Joe has been doing the removal trips and I have been putting things away; that might explain why on Monday morning I have no clean clothes to put on and despite requests/instructions still have no underwear aboard... 
This morning I am doing the first trip back to Caxton, (followed by the flies) , to retrieve my selection of important items as opposed to Joe's which included, engine oil, assorted electrical goodies, tools, empty camera boxes and his underwear and socks. 
Not that I am complaining of course, darling.....

As for the sleeping arrangements...
The boatman's cabin and the 'bed-in-a-cupboard' has proved to be very, very comfortable.   Joe is still in the cupboard as I type this in the saloon; I will let him out soon....maybe

    Definitely no flies on you Lesley!!!
    Thanks for letting us have a nose around. It was lovely to see it in the flesh and all your ideas coming together. Glad the bed has turned out to be comfy. My favourite bit is the view along the roof line from the tiller. Beautiful.

    It's a 'man' thing, they are unable to multi task as we have to!
    We have enjoyed following your build blog and look forward to reading about your travels aboard Yarwood.

    Hi Carol
    It certainly is. It is going to take a little time adjusting and REMEMBERING where things are aboard a new boat!

    Hi Julie
    I had to let him out he was making far too much noise...
    Knickers now retrieved!
