Selling Our Boat

12/3/2016

Time to buy another boat? Or

Time for something different...

We've sold our 1920s Dutch Barge in France. It took just four months.

We've not had time to miss Rouge Corsair or the lifestyle as our next foray in this life-long adventure has just begun.
Picture
Within our first week back in NSW Australia, we'd purchased a car, trailer and barn. Yes, you heard that right, an American Barn.
Picture
The back-story of this barn is quite tragic. A land owner promising a couple they'd have no trouble getting building permission - a temporary home built - no permission granted - a demolition order.
This led to three people working two weeks to dismantle the barn.  
Picture
Despite collecting bruises a professional rugby player would be proud of, I loved this job. My body ached so much each night that at times I skipped dinner.
Picture
But I felt alive, my flabby arms became tight, my skin glowed with outdoor life. My new career move of recluse-farm-girl became one step nearer.
Picture
The mayhem continued after this project.... if you follow this story you'll be introduced to Dayve, the bucket toilet, and our dithering minds.

​Any why did we buy this barn.....  you'll find out soon.
