We sail to experience the wonderment over the horizon.

Chapter 45: Hitting the Road! (Again)

Well, we’re off!  But not on the boat.  Unfortunately, we’re in the car.  But it IS sailing-adjacent.  We are on our way to Annapolis, Maryland for two things.  First, we are both enrolled in a week of classes at Cruisers… Continue Reading →

Chapter 44: Road Trip!

We had a little time off Meraviglia this week to travel to Atlanta. As many of you know, Nick LOVES soccer and has been enjoying playing with a variety of teams since he has been In Atlanta. Unfortunately, he tore… Continue Reading →

Chapter 42: The One Where Forwards is Backwards

MAIDEN VOYAGE!!! WHOOP!! Yep, we went sailing. For the first time, Meraviglia was under sail. Granted, we did sail her here to Georgia from Florida last year (see Chapters 7 and 8…), but she was Destiny then. So, this was… Continue Reading →

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 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 34: Under CONSTRUCTION!

God, I love to break stuff. Kim and I used to watch a lot of HGTV and “Demo Day” was always my favorite part of the shows: Rip stuff out, take it apart, haul it away. If it’s no good,… Continue Reading →
