We sail to experience the wonderment over the horizon.

Chapter 130: A Photo Journey

This past week we spent a day at Washington Slagbaai National Park on Bonaire. It is one of the most incredible places we have yet visited. Rather that describe it in words, we thought we would let photos tell the… Continue Reading →

Chapter 128: The Less Short Passage

MADE IT!!! I write this from Bonaire!  After 2 months, we finally left Grenada.  Grenada was wonderful to us-we completed the boat work we needed to do, had some good food (Indian-yum!), saw the sights, and met some really nice… Continue Reading →

Chapter 127: The One Where We’re a Speedboat

At the moment, we’re just hanging out. We’d like to leave Grenada. We really would. But we can’t. Because… Well, because of two things really. First, we ordered some parts. FIVE WEEKS AGO!!! And they haven’t arrived yet. When I… Continue Reading →

Chapter 125: Karma Shift!

If you’ve actually been reading these blog posts, you have a pretty good feel for how things have gone for Kim and I since we moved aboard: not that great. There is no denying we’ve had some successes and have… Continue Reading →

Chapter 123: I Have Screws Loose

Chapter 119: I Smell Smoke

Not gonna lie. It’s been hard to write this post. The event actually happened a few weeks ago but it freaked us out so badly we needed time to process. The good news? I think we’re in a good place… Continue Reading →

Chapter 118: Visitors!!

Kim and I left Brunswick, Georgia in mid-February. Since then, we’ve been largely alone. Although we’ve discovered we can be together 24/7, we also have discovered that being on our own does get lonely. So this past week was pretty… Continue Reading →

Chapter 116: We Found Martinique’s Biggest Party!

We’re generally not big party people. Being a party person typically involves staying awake past 9:30 PM-never my forte. But when the party goes all day and into the night and lasts for a week, even I can manage to… Continue Reading →

Chapter 14: Ahhh, the French

The French, they know how to live! Coffee, croissants, baguettes, omelettes, cafes. Sigh. Well, we’re not in France proper, but we are in a French Overseas Territory, and boy, can they bake! We’ve been in Guadeloupe for 9 days now…. Continue Reading →
