Georgina's boat arrived in a depo somewhere in between Detroit and Ann Arbor. I was a little shocked to see how industrial and poor the areas we drove through were. Living in Ann Arbor is a little bit like living within a safety net. Nothing is bad here and people are well-off. You do however see the occasion homeless person sleeping outside of a church. Actually, a social comment that I realised while living here is that, in general, if you are well-off you never see bad things and you feel cut-off from international issues too. All that matters is in-fact what you are doing right here, right now. I like to read the guardian to keep in touch with the world.
The boat fitted in the car with the seats down. Even some inches to spare. We got a little lost on the way back but soon found the correct road. There are no signs to tell you when you enter or leave a town so its difficult to know where you are on a map at times.
The boat is purple and is called the 'fluid'. Nice looking boat, about 20 cm longer than my Jackson fun (also new!) and certainly a lot heavier. On getting home we packed our things ready for the slip trip.
