We have been doing mobile internet for nearly two decades now. Back when 3G was just emerging and satellite internet was a pain in the rear to use. While technology has rapidly advanced over the years making internet on the go substantially faster and easier – it still takes some finesse to keep abundantly connected […]
Cruising the Lower Eastern Shore of the Chesapeake Bay – Crisfield, Pocomoke City, Onancock & Salisbury
Continuing our lower Chesapeake Bay cruising, we had just explored the Northern Neck and crossed the bay routing through Tangier Island. The goal was to spend some time poking around the Eastern Shore along the Delmarva Penisula. These adventures cover May 20 – June 8, picking up where we left with an arrival to Crisfield […]
Continuing to Cruise the Lower Chesapeake Bay – Wineries, Friends, Weather Windows and Crossing to the Eastern Shore
When last we left you, we had just left the Rappahannock River and made a last minute decision to anchor in Little Bay – instead of making a longer cruising day towards Reedville. This proved to be quite serendipitous, and lined up some stops we wouldn’t have considered otherwise. Our Slooper pace allows us to […]
Sloopers – Slow Looping: Eight Years on the American Great Loop… and More to Go!
It’s almost hysterical to look back on our content from eight years ago – back when we set out on the American Great Loop intending to split it over multiple years. Probably .. just.. 2-3 years? And here we are, eight years later and we’ve not even completed a 1/3 of it. So we thought […]
Lower Chesapeake Bay River Cruising – The York and Rappahannock: Great Loop Cruising
Are you ready for some cruising content!? Good, because our 2025 return to the Great Loop is well underway, and we have a lot of adventures to catch you up on. We’ve come to say that boating is mostly awesome serene passages & anchorages, some fixing of things in exotic places mixed with moments of […]
Free from the Boatyard – and Back to Cruising! Our 2025 Intentions Ahead
And just like that, after 6 weeks of non-stop boat projects at Atlantic Yacht Basin – we have cruised away and resumed our Great Loop! If you prefer a video format, we also have this post filmed for you too: Boatyard Wrap-Up We tackled a lot of projects during our time at Atlantic Yacht Basin […]
Boatyard Life: Living on the Hard (Prepping for our Cruising Season Ahead!)
We’ve now been back to Y-Not at Atlantic Yacht Basin in Chesapeake, VA for just about a month now. It’s been a chaotic month with a lot of boat projects, which should soon be wrapping up. Last week, we were hauled out to attend to the jobs that can only happen out of the water […]
Space Coast Marathon – Third Time is a Charm?
We first participated in the Space Coast Marathon in Florida back in 2011 – that time, Chris ran the 1/2 and I walked the 1/2. We were only vaguely trained up for it. It would be over a decade until we entered our next running event. Life, travel, businesses had us put less focus on […]
Leaving Florida, Exploring Texas and a Rocket Launch!
Oh wow. I thought I’d come update the blog about our Texas adventures these past few weeks and realized that I haven’t yet even documented getting to Texas! I guess my brief mention in our 2024 Travel Route & Year in Review post mentally checked those adventures off my list. So, let’s get caught up! These […]
2024 Travel Route & Year in Review
And just like that.. it’s time for our annual travel wrap up! Where has the time gone? Oh right.. adventures! And lots of them. 2024 wraps up 18 years on the road for us together! This year started with Zephyr going right into storage back in our lot in Benson, AZ and setting off on […]
