A new phase of living begins with Barbie.

 

west bay marina   November 27, 2004

The inaugural voyage of 'Trash', later to be renamed 'Barbie', was to West Bay in Esquimalt.  Our site was at an idyllic setting surrounded on three sides by water with great views from two windows.

The gray water backed up into the shower, we mastered the propane stove and we tried out a toaster oven.   Kim gave us a  TV/VCR and we watched Under the Tuscan Sun and I Love Lucy.
Inside Barbie
We took immediately to the laid back lifestyle of trailer living.  Seventeen feet doesn't offer space for many excesses but enough to enjoy a nap during  a traffic jam.

Life is good when you can enjoy a view, snooze at will, take a walk, chat with the neighbours or ignore the time.  Give me more.
