Yay! Our very first video đ We are YouTube official! Haha. Guess it was time to get out from behind the camera and give an update in “person”. Excited to share more soon – subscribe to us >>HERE<< We’re finally setting sail March 12, 2018. First stop: Bimini,
We are going somewhere, people! The Coast Guard finally sent us our paper work đ Beyond excited, as we’ve been anxiously waiting for this moment. After 58 days, we’ve finally taken the boat out of the slip. Sea trials are meant to test the âseaworthinessâ of the boat, electronics

Our new 10-gallon solar shower bag arrived a few days ago! We previously had a 5-gallon and wanted to get a larger one that will allow for multiple showers. This is essentially our hot water heater while we’re out cruising, it uses the sun and heat locking material inside to heat the water and
Right before our cross country road trip, we found a great deal on an electric outboard motor. Our dinghy previously had a Tohatsu outboard motor which was loud, heavy, stinky, not to mention unreliable. We ended up getting a second free dinghy boat out of the deal, score!
