Our house is a very, very fine house
with two dogs in the yard…
Okay, I took liberties with the old CS&N tune and the rest of it doesn’t apply, but you get the point.
Picking up from the last post — Like the tide, change is rising and about to wash over us part?
Well, the little house in the above photo is the catalyst for these changes.
Meet ‘Spearfish’, our little bungalow by the sea in Jupiter, FL
Going on 15 years now, Crew Istaboa has cruised the watery stretches between the Gulf Coast, the Keys, the East Coast, the Chesapeake Bay, and the Bahamas. All along the way, in every marina where we’d tie up, Mel and I would take time to imagine what it’d be like to reside in that particular place. We explored each one thoroughly and they were all contenders in the hunt for the eventual/inevitable dirt dwelling where we knew one day we’d settle in.
Yes, we’ve unintentionally annoyed many realtors throughout the course of our travels.
For the last couple of years, The Jupiter area has become our home-port to return to.
For Florida, Jupiter’s a fairly progressive/live and let live kinda place. We enjoy it’s good food, the nice folks, and it’s seemingly kind attitude. Even during season the traffic’s not too bad, and the water’s truly beautiful.
Jupiter has one of the best beaches on the East Coast. It’s a dog friendly stretch of shoreline and seems pretty human friendly as well. We’ve found we like it here much. The Boyz love the beach and they’re really gonna enjoy the freedom that comes with the small fenced yard.
So unless something unforeseeable happens with our real estate transaction, it appears, on dry land anyway, we’ve finally found what we’re looking for. Or, maybe it found us.
And, we’ll call this home –> ‘Spearfish’.
Another chapter in our story.
More later —
Adios,
Istaboa
