Not gonna lie, 2013 was a hard year. The first part spent with my father on hospice, and then his passing and all the logistics that come with that. I lost not only my dad, but a best friend. And a business partner of nearly 20 years. My mentor. I had to put the emotions […]

Final Push to EclipseFest23 – Idaho & Oregon!
Grand Junction, CO was sort of our bail out point if we decided we didn’t want to proceed to EclipseFest23 in Oregon. We could have easily turned south and headed straight to Zephyr in Benson, AZ instead. By the time we reached it, our excitement was mounting – especially knowing how many dear friends we’d […]
A Month Meandering Around Florida in the Van
With Y-Not hauled out in Jacksonville for routine maintenance items (bottom paint, thru-hulls, anodes, etc) – we loaded up Blooper for some van adventures. We had anticipated that we’d only need to fill in a couple of weeks, but Lamb’s has been backed up and didn’t inspect our thru-hulls immediately. It was determined that a […]
Our First RV Trip to Canada – Exploring Southern Ontario, Border Crossing, Internet & Money
Can you believe that in our 16 years of full timing we have never RV’d in Canada? Yeah. We can’t either. We have however visited Canada many times by cruise ship, train and car. So this summer, we decided it was well past time we finally crossed over with an RV as well for a […]
One Week Turns to Five in New Smyrna Beach, Florida
We arrived to New Smyrna Beach in thanks to a dinner invitation from a YouTube fan. The marina had fabulous reviews, so we had booked a week at their very reasonable rates of $7.50/ft. We figured a little downtime would be good for us after a span of chaos. It didn’t take us long to […]
Awesome Possum, Rum and Kazoos – Great Loop Cruising from Savannah to Charleston
Sorry for the time line disruption these past couple of months as we’ve had a few real time updates in between our travelogues. Join us as we jump back to June to get you caught up. You know, that time when it was so hot we wished for cooler temps? And now here I sit […]
Continuing North up the ICW – Boca Raton to Ft. Pierce & the MTOA Southern Rendezvous
I had intended to cover our entire repositioning up from Miami To Ft. Pierce in one post – after all, 125 nautical miles shouldn’t require that much content! Maybe it’s because we’re smitten with returning to cruising, or it’s all still so new to us – or maybe a slower pace does means more experiences […]
Having a BALL in St. Augustine, Florida
There was no doubt that we’d be stopping in St. Augustine on our way north – it’s been a stop we’ve looked forward to for quite a while. So after a nicely balanced visit to Marineland, we were ready cruise northward up the ICW. But first, the video version: The Cruise and our FIRST Mooring […]
How Much Does it Cost to be a Perpetual RVing or Cruising Nomad?
How Much Does it Cost?? One of the most common questions RVers and cruisers are asked is how much it costs per month to fund a full-time perpetual traveling lifestyle? The answer is… it depends. It’s highly variable based upon your personal style, travel goals, income, expenses and preferences. So sorry, we can’t just give […]
There’s Nothing Rotten About Groton
First.. thank you. Your outpouring of support for our upcoming new adventure totally blew us away. It’s always a touch scary approaching a new chapter, and announcing it is a big step. In the past, we’ve gotten mixed reactions to what seemed like departures from our course. Perhaps this led to over-explaining our decision which helped pre-empt […]
