Chapter 38: MOVING WEEK! (metaphorically , of course)-Part I

It’s been a grind lately. I’ve felt like a hamster on a wheel-running fast and going nowhere. Last weekend was particularly bad, especially since I authored some setbacks on my own. Note to self: when cutting into the ceiling, be… Continue Reading →

Chapter 37: Patience is a virtue…

So we continue to move forward through the enormous list of tasks needed to ready Meraviglia to launch.  Happily some of our projects on our list have been getting accomplished:  PHEW!  Bob was the lead and I assisted as we… Continue Reading →

Chapter 36: Whew!

Well, we made it. Hurricane Idalia has come and gone, leaving us with no damage. THANK YOU JESUS! Several of you felt we should have evacuated and that people who choose to “ride out” hurricanes are crazy. We agree-they are…. Continue Reading →

Chapter 35: The Waiting Game

Usually we post on Thursdays and Sundays. We thought we would put a post up today since we are…waiting. Waiting for Idalia. That’s Hurricane Idalia, for those not living in a floating box in the Southeast US. She’s scheduled to… Continue Reading →

Chapter 31: Daily life aboard a “project” boat…

Sun, sea, sailing, and sundowners every night.  Isn’t that what Youtube says liveaboard life will be like???  The reality on a “project boat” like Meraviglia looks very different.  Well, except for the sun.  We get a lot of burning hot… Continue Reading →

Chapter 30: “Meraviglia 13”

One of my all-time favorite movies is Apollo 13 from 1995.  It is truly a classic.  It details the Apollo 13 moon mission in which the spacecraft suffered an explosion on the way to the moon and the heroics of… Continue Reading →

Chapter 29: Wanderlust

Dictionary.com defines wanderlust as a strong, innate desire to rove or travel about. I have been thinking a lot about that word, family history, and the impact of genetics. As I have shared in a previous blog, Nick and Gabby… Continue Reading →
