With Savannah behind us, we were hoping to make it to Florida as quickly as possible. Unfortunately the weather had other plans. A pretty big front was moving in & bringing thunderstorms and some significant winds. After some quick research, we decided to tuck in at the Brunswick Landing Marina in Brunswick, GA. Not tooRead more…
We’ve been way way way behind on the blog and didn’t want to post new things until we caught up with all of the travel updates down to our initial destination of Miami Beach. It’s all coming, promise! In the meantime we wanted to provide a quick update on where we are and our planRead more…
We were of course shaken up after our misadventure as we were leaving Charleston. We kept going over it in our heads to see what we could’ve done different, how we could have prevented it. Now we’d have to figure out how to get the replacement oars which means we’d have to stay somewhere longRead more…
On January 29th, after many goodbyes and thank yous to everyone at the Charleston City Boatyard for taking care of us for two months, we set out for our next destination, our first since the big debacle.

We were sure we’d be in Miami for Thanksgiving! How could it possibly take more than two and a half months to make our way down the coast?! We (or more accurately I) imagined that each day would be perfect. We’d keep moving the desired distance from one place to the next, see a beautifulRead more…
We are still learning our way around the boat galley and provisioning. It’s a bit different than living on land. Our stove only has two burners so recipes that need a ton of prep and use many pots and pans aren’t ideal (not to mention limited water to wash all of them after). The fridgeRead more…
We didn’t think we’d really need to be getting ready for a storm, while we are still at the dock in Philly, no less, but here we are battening down the hatches. Views 4118Likes 0
The countdown is on, now we are down to weeks! Can’t believe the time is flying by so fast… We’ve been great at getting lots of things done to get ready, but there is of course still more to do. Here is our list of remaining boat and non-boat projects. Views 4673Likes 0
