For the past couple of weeks we’ve been meticulously preparing to store the boat, and head off in the van for an opened ended road adventure. It’s been a lot of sorting through closets, drawers and odd storage places we’ve been stuffing stuff for the past 16 months of being homebased in Sanford. Our boat […]

Thanks for joining along in our return to travelogues! Where we last left you, we had just arrived to Jacksonville after a marvelous cruise down the St. Johns River from our pandemic home base of Sanford.

RV Hacks: Travel Photo Library Management Tip and a New Book!
Once you’ve been on the road a while, you inevitably start to accumulate a ton of photos. And not all of them blog worthy shots. In fact, some of them might be downright awful. Like those shots of inside your pocket, blurry attempts at capturing a rainbow, or hundreds of photos trying to capture your […]
Back to Cruising – Dolphin Quest! St Johns River Northbound from Sanford to Jacksonville
We’ve been semi-stationary aboard our boat since March of 2020, making Sanford Florida our pandemic home base. We haven’t been completely stationary though. We’ve been thoroughly enjoying many camping excursions in our van (we’ve managed to visit every state park with camping in Central Florida!). And we’ve been taking the boat out anchoring down the […]
Our New eBikes Have Arrived: e-Joe EPIK Swan Folding Electric Bikes
We posted that we were searching for new eBikes back in October 2020. The e-Joe EPIK SEs we acquired in 2015 had reached the end of their useful life – and we were itching for something that would get us back out riding. We shared what we were looking for in new eBikes – and the […]
Starlink & 5G – Future of Mobile Internet for RVers and Boaters: Are We Excited??
The internet is all abuzz about Starlink satellite internet and 5G cellular. Will these two emerging new technologies live up to the hype as a mobile internet solution for RVers and boaters?

Winnebago Travato K vs G – Floor Plan Showdown
We recently joined up with our friends Jen & Deas (NealysonWheels) and Kristin & Katy (Snowmads) in South Carolina for an impromptu van meetup. Our first time leaving the state of Florida since the pandemic began. We’ve known all of these guys for many years, having rendezvoused across the country as full time RVers – […]
15th Nomadiversary: Nomadic Inspirations, and Getting 5G Shots
The photo above is the sun setting over the Ogeechee River in Georgia – one of the very few recent photos in my album taken outside of Florida. In the past year we spent a total of just four nights outside of our “home” state. At what point do I forfeit my nomad license? Last […]
Let’s Talk about Wine… Getting Vino on the Go as an RVer or Boater!
Ok, time for a little fun and talking about a subject near and dear to our hearts .. and livers. WINE! Yes, we love it – there’s no secret there at all. But how do you get wine while RVing and boating? Well, not just any wine.. unique and special wines. We’re going LIVE on […]
Upgrading to a 2020.5 Winnebago Travato GL from 2016 Travato G – Was it Worth It?
We’ve now had Blooper, our new-to-us 2020.5 Travato GL, for 3 months. And we’ve been asked multiple times if the upgrade from our 2016 Travato G (Cooper) has been worth it, and if the upgrade addressed our complaints we shared back in September. So now that we have several camping trips under our belt with […]
