The French Press Story
An old friend and I were talking about what it would be
like to live on a boat for more than a week. She said, “So

hot cup of java from my French press in the morning, all is
good in the world.”

® Weekends to chill out and be with family and
friends
® Beach weeks—it has to be more than a week
