Following our noses in Brunswick, GA

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.

Wine-ing it up in Beaufort, SC

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.

When the original plans don’t work out, it’s time to make new plans.

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…

Recipe: Eggplant and Red Pepper Shakshouka

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…
