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!
