Welcome

This blog is bout the adventures of the boat my husband and I just bought. Since the boat has been out of the water for the last four years and was not winterized we have a lot of work ahead of us.

Yard sales are the place to be

The last two weekends have been a boaters paradise.

the first Saturday I went out on my weekly yards sale run and the fiat thing I come across is a life vest that will fit little Sophie next year, only $2.00 I get it. A few sales later I find the holy Grail of life vests for Jimmy, a scooby doo vest in his size. The sticker says $1.50 I can't pass it up. What makes it even better is when I go to pay they only charge me $.50 that is a deal that I can't pass up. Finally the last sale that Saturday I find 3 adult orange jackets brand new with the tags still on them for $10.00 for the set. This Saturday I was out with Melanie checking out the yard sales again. This time I found 5 boat bumpers that hang from the boat for $1.00 each. What a great real since they go for almost $20 each online ( I checked before I got them) we hit a few others and just before the rain started we went to the last one this time we we found 3 more boat bumpers almost brand new for $5.00 for the set. At the rate I'm going at the yard sales I should have the boat outfitted with almost everything we need before we get the darn thing in the water next year.
