Noah

Noah did his thing with his boat.  Noah had to get all those animals on and off.  On a smaller scale Kadizzle has to get a lot of crap on and off his boat.  The good ship will sail in a few weeks seeking a Northwest Passage.  For thirty years we have been searching for a sea route to the Pacific.  Rumors are Lewis and Clark tried the same thing and found the Missouri stopped at the mountains.  The first thing to come off the boat as it is prepared are the newspapers.  The Commander has a new approach to keeping the boat free of odor.  In the fall she stuffs crumpled newspaper everywhere on the boat.  So Kadizzle had a huge Santa Claus bag of crumpled paper to remove from every nook and crany.  Along with the newspaper are sock full of coffee grounds.  Add to that some lavender weeds all over the boat and it seems to have worked.

Now the bottom has to be sanded, fiberglassed, and painted, and tons of junk has to be put back on the boat.  A lot of this stuff migrates from The Earth module to the Good Ship Sovereign.  To add to the fun one of the tires on the boat trailer is flat and will have to be removed to be repaired.  The sails have to be put on, and a hundred other little items taken care of, but it will not be long before the wind gently moves the boat west.
