After a relaxing Christmas we tucked into White Sound and picked up a mooring ball from Phil Roberts (#365-4240) for a few nights at $20 a night. While waiting out another storm blowing through with 30-40 knot winds…December has been crazy for weather! While the weather was still nice we got t
Traveling by sailboat is fun and exciting – sometimes exhausting, frustrating, and boring when not prepared with things that will give you the most comfort. Thankfully, we’ve spent enough time on our boat to accumulate a list of tried-and-true items that make our live-aboard lives fun/easy/h

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’
Approaching our second sailing season! Which means it’s time to get our lady prepped for the seas. Like any vehicle, maintenance is required except a boat is a little different than what we’ve been used to in terms of “vehicle maintenance”. Having the boat on the hard has bee
