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 […]

Leaving Miami in the Rear View – Heading North up the ICW!
It feels so fricken good to be back to our cruising lifestyle! Leaving Miami was a huge milestone for us after 5 weeks ‘living on the hard’ then juggling storing the boat while we pursued our RV trip to Texas. We passed our sea trial with flying colors, and then just like that – we […]
Essential RV Travel Mobile Apps for 2018
It’s been a few years since we updated our list of favorite mobile apps for RVers. We just came off an extended RV trip for the winter season, and it was fun to see which apps we still love and new apps that have hit the market. So here it is, our updated list of […]
1 Year ‘Loopiversary’ – Why So Slow? And What Has it Cost?
Last month we toasted a year of owning our motor yacht Y-Not (a Bayliner 4788). And this week, we nod our heads to remember shoving off from Punta Gorda, FL to start our American Great Loop Adventure after spending several weeks learning our boat systems, getting training and deciding we were ready for our first […]
Leaving Miami and Resuming our Great Loop Cruising Season for 2018!
Now that our winter RVing season has come to a close and our bus is safely in storage in Texas – it’s time to get back to cruising! Our MINI Roadtrip took us back to Miami where we had left Y-Not after 5 weeks living on the hard to attend to damages from the submerged […]
The ’10 Year Rule’ – Do RV Parks Really Turn Older RVs Away?
Since our RV is based on a 55+ year old bus chassis, we’re often asked if we get turned away from RV parks for being too old. There are, unfortunately, some commercial and private RV parks that do have a rule against allowing older rigs. Generally the cut off is 10 years, but sometimes we’ve […]
The Math is Undeniable: Boondocking Is About To Be Busted
Please note the publish date of this post, and adjust your humor appropriately :). Though rushed, our recent RV trip from Florida to Texas was a reminder of just how much we love living on the road, and in Zephyr. Splitting our time between boat and bus has been our plan since the beginning, as […]
Nomadic Friendships: When ‘Until Next Time’ Might Be A Long Time
Community on the road is quite a bit different than the community you might experience while living stationary. The people you’re hanging out with can shift as often as you change locations. Just a few of our meet-ups in the last couple of months: Sometimes you connect with fellow nomads as your paths cross for […]
A Cat, a MINI Cooper and a Road Trip – Last Bus Stop in Austin and Return to the Boat in Miami
Wow, you blink and it’s over already. That was a quick 6-ish weeks on the road in the RV and the time had come to store Zephyr and return to our cruising season. Here’s our video recap of our last stop in Austin and the road trip back to Florida (caution: lots of cat video!): […]
Decongesting at Pedernales Falls State Park – Johnson City, TX
After the RV Entrepreneur Summit, we knew we’d be tired – big events always wear us out. So we planned ahead and had booked an extended stay at nearby Pedernales Falls State Parks, and didn’t let anyone know where we were headed. We were intending some quality decompression time to catch up on work, sleep […]
