Organizing and Making stuff fit on the boat . . . An ongoing project

So we've been living on the boat almost 1 month. We had a truck and car full of stuff to fit on this boat.

We have managed to empty and sell the truck. We emptied some into our other car's trunk. And cleaned out the car we drive. All but 5 medium size boxes are on the boat, and everything has mostly found a spot somewhere on the boat.

It is an ongoing process which I see my hubby and I doing about every other day. He'll get tired of clutter around sink then put stuff in a hatch, or I'll get tired of clutter on pilot birth and put it in a hatch. Then we will look for something, sometimes for about an hour, trying to remember where we stowed it and either find it or give up till later.

This organization is an ongoing project. I am thankful we only have 5 boxes left and they all fit in the trunk of a car.

Of the boxes leftover to unpack: one is of books, two are of pictures and memorabilia, one is of documents we couldn't get rid of, and one is office supplies/papers. We are hoping once the pilot birth is completed we will use space under and around there for books and papers. And I can scan the remaining pictures/memorabilia, and stow somewhere these documents we have.

The documents like our passports and birth certificates we cannot get rid of, so we are devising a water proof safe area or file to store these in. Another work in progress!!
