Arrival in Florida

The next stage of my journey has begun. The plan is to sail around the world, for me anyway. Here is how it looks so far

The Boat:
A large boat that can easily sleep 5 or 6. It's old and not in the best conditions. It has taken on water in the past. all the metal handles everywhere are kinda nasty, a lot of the varnish is coming off the wood. many broken fans and lights the sink leaks a drop every min or two. Nothing that can't be fixed but it's not ready to go out yet. The owners are pack rats. A lot of the stuff needs to be moved off before we go anywhere. We've started. I'm doing a lot of bend bars/lift gates today.

The Captain:
I knew from pictures that he was fat and I was ok with this. Sadly fat is a gross underestimation, the man is morbidly obese. He can barely walk. He knows a lot about boats and all that good stuff, but he is not exactly seaworthy. in about 25 days he can go out to sea, says his doctor.

His Wife:
A wonderful woman. Rebecca. She does a lot of taking care of him, she's with him all the way, whatever happens. She's lively and active and understanding she is used to doing all the work that he can't.

The Crew:
So far I've met 1, Jessica. We got along instantly, she is a lot of awesome. She's a navy girl, can drink me under the table, walks around covered in cuts and scrapes from learning how to ride a bicycle on gravel. We've already had the "we totally shouldn't sleep together" discussion. We'll be good friends.

The Dilemma:
The captain asks that we tell him within a week, staying or going. Jessica is talking to other boats, I'm not sure if I'll stay without her. Any boat problems can be fixed but the captain's condition is worrisome. At his weight the health problems will be never ending, Rebecca doesn't know how to sail. Jessica doesn't feel too comfortable. I'm a noob. We'll have a discussion about it tonight sober. I just got over the hang over from last night.
