MAY 28-JUNE 14: STILL IN RHODE ISLAND

We spent the next few days organizing movers, removing items that we did not plan to put in storage-all those fun things that are involved in packing up a household.  Fortunately, we had done a fair amount of planning before we left last time to prepare of a potential sale and move.

Wednesday, June 5 was the day for the house inspection.  The buyer arrived with half a dozen inspector specialists and spent 5 hours going over the place.  We were surprised but not too concerned as we had hired our own house inspector last summer who gave us a good report.

Thursday, June 6, we met with our realtor to hear her assessment of the prior day's inspections.  The conversation was interrupted by a call from the buyer's agent to inform us that the deal was off.  After getting over the initial annoyance of breaking our trip, driving home, etc., we decided that perhaps the outcome was for the best.

So we will head back to the boat in a couple of days and (hopefully) finish the Loop before traveling back to Canada for our summer adventure. We are planning on a 10-12 week trip visiting Lake Ontario and from there going to Ottawa, Montreal and Lake Champlain before coming back to Rhode Island again for the winter of 2013-2014.
