Guess who finally got some fancy new boat cards??? These delivered just in time before we cross back over to the Bahamas in a few days. Kinda bummed we didn’t make these last season but we were already in Nassau by the time we learned that boat cards were even a thing. For ya non-cruisers you [&h
It’s been a while since I shared a cocktail recipe so I think I’m overdue 🙂 I’m (were) a big fan of champagne but haven’t really experimented mixing it with too many things. This recipe seemed festive and a good way to celebrate the holiday season. Honestly, it’s been hard getting in t
Summer should get a speeding ticket, seriously! Our summer/hurricane season break was filled with lots of fun adventures! Feeling grateful that we were able to have this time to freely travel the country, stopping along the way to see friends and family. But what we loved most about this summer was
WE GOT A NEW DINGHY! 🙂 Ohhh, happy day. Were the proud new owners of a 2019 Zodiac Aluminum hull 300 with a 2017 Yamaha 15hp 2 stroke! Were about to go fasssst! >>See here<< One of our biggest lessons from our first cruising season is that our electric torqueedo motor just wasn’

It’s been a week since we tucked away our gal for the cruising season. We left her in Green Cove Springs, FL We chose this marina for several reasons; affordable, long term storage, a do-it-yourself boat yard, and it’s located 25 miles inland with less exposure to storm winds and surge.
After an unforgettable 3 months sailing through the Bahamas we crossed the Gulf Stream back to Florida! Our first sailing season has been a crazy, fun, sometimes difficult, but mostly awesome adventure. It’s hard to believe how quickly the time passed. Wow. We’ve grown and learned so muc
Finally getting around to posting all the interior…8 months later! Welcome to our home afloat! This is S/V Sea duction, I should mention we didn’t name her this. She was purchased with that name and although Brent hates the name for obvious punnie reasons, (I) people love it – it&#
