Yes 10 months ago Tasotter had a lot to look forward too, a new boat and some Canadian adventures. How times have changed, I hope you are all safe and coping with COVID, wherever you are in the world.

After doing all the house renovations, and adding to the family with young Rosie (a long haired Chihuahua pup); we’ve taken to travelling again. Sadly not on a boat, but a 7.6 meter long Avida Eyre motorhome. There seem to be a lot of similarities to a Sea Otter, even though the caravan park owner looks puzzled when you ask where to connect the shoreline power !

The slide out kitchen really increases the interior room, allowing a bit more play area for the dogs if the weather is inclement. The small dinette and swivelling Captains chairs is sufficient for the 2 of us.

Between the front cabin and twin beds is a split bathroom with shower one side and basin/wc the other. This is a vast improvement over T42’s arrangement, no fighting with a shower curtain whilst simultaneously holding the shower head,soap and operating the tray pump out !

Finally there is a small “garage” underneath for all those odds and ends, I’ve resisted the temptation to add an anchor, settling for an e bike instead. For our first trip we’ve just ventured to Turners Beach, and the very nice Berry Patch Cafe for take away lunch. As the van is equipped with solar we will be able to live off grid for a number of days once I’ve sorted out what everything does. Stay tuned for further blogs !
