We're now in our third Tasmanian housesit, a two-bedroom flat in West Hobart that a friend of a friend very kindly made available to us while she was away.
We continue to believe that we'll be living on our next boat before we know it. But meanwhile, this bouncing around between housesits is what we're doing. I don't particularly love the feeling of being a 42 year old serial housesitter, dragging the kids and our stuff from place to place like this. But then we're also not prepared to sign a lease on a place and settle into Hobart for six months.
Luckily Elias seems completely unfazed by all this moving around. And Eric of course has no idea what's going on. And Alisa, let me say, is a complete champ about it all. Few moms with a three month old and a four year old could handle moving around like this so gracefully.
I think it's a sign of how strongly she's committed to continuing the sailing dream, and the inconvenience that she's willing to put up with to make it happen.
Either that...or maybe I'm such a wonderful husband that she's willing to put up with the occasional bout of homelessness just to be with me?
oh, jeez. now I have to look up the word peripatetic ;) !
