Chapter 63: We Mean It This Time. We Think

Okay. Leaving. Again. Heading south. Again. Is this it? Who knows? If there’s one thing we’ve learned in the last 6 months, it’s that making predictions is a fool’s errand. We’ve gotten a lot of stuff figured out since returning… Continue Reading →

Chapter 62: Whiplash

By this point in the saga, I think we can safely say that our cruising adventure is NOT going to be like what you see on the YouTube sailing channels. So, either they are far, FAR more competent at this… Continue Reading →

Chapter 61: When plans go awry…

Chapter 54: T Minus 19 Days…
