Kubota Fun at Chez Elving

Kubota Fun at Chez Elving

Good friends drive hours to pick us up and provide a few days off the boat.  Arch and Susan among many other services qualify as exceptional friends who have driven long hours many times to meet us on our boat journeys. This, however, was our first chance to get off the boat and visit their new USA based home.  Readers of the blog may remember Arch and Susan were on board recently and saved us last year with the installation of a new refrigerator which required several long trips and major stevedoring and carpentry by them. This time around they caught our new hot water heater plus assorted mail and delivered it all to the boat as they fetched us for a few days on land.  Their property has been on our radar since almost the time we all met – back in the late 1970s when Susan’s parents bought the acreage as their retirement paradise.  It has now morphed into the 21st century version for the second generation.  We were honored to inspect the rebuilt and expanded homes on the property as well as the deluxe workshop which is nothing like my Daddy’s version! But, the Kubota tour of the property was probably the most fun and biggest contrast to our floating lifestyle.  (Steve might be thinking of how to get one on board next to his dinghy.) Good food, good fun, good friends!
