Chapter 54: T Minus 19 Days…

Yep, 19 days. Nineteen days until we shove off (weather permitting, of course). That’s feeling pretty, well, REAL. As in, “we’ve got a REAL long list to get accomplished”. But overall, it seems to be going fairly well. It also… Continue Reading →

Chapter 53: Abandon Ship! This one’s for you kids…

This week brought some colder temperatures to Brunswick along with the start of November. Our boat does not have heat so we are definitely feeling some urgency to make our deadline of December 1st to start heading south to warmer… 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 →

Chapter 41: When Your Parents are Very Cool, Actually

Special from Katharine Stephens: Okay, okay, it’s finally time for the other child’s perspective. Ever since Nick volunteered to write a post for this blog last month, my mom started asking me when I was writing mine, even though I… Continue Reading →
