We feel a TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System) is an important piece of safety equipment to have for anyone on the road. With these systems, you install pressure monitoring sensors on each air valve of your tires (ideally including your RV tow-behind), and these sensors transmit pressure & temperature information to a central display screen you keep […]

Sometimes Nomads Need to Grow Some Barnacles (Two Months in Fort Myers)
We generally keep a fairly hyper-mobile lifestyle – changing locations every few days to every few weeks. But every so often, we feel the call – to slow the heck down for a bit. By the time we were ramping up our boat hunt last fall, it was shouting loudly in our ears. But stopping would have meant putting […]
Crappy RV or Boat Mattress?? Tips for a Great Night’s Sleep!
Our RV and our boat are our homes, where we lay our heads down to sleep every night. But so many come with, shall we say, crappy mattresses. Meant more for weekend excursions than everyday living. But you don’t have to put up with it. There’s nothing that says you have to sacrifice a good […]
Florida Road Trip!! A Week Back in the Bus
After getting the boat moved to Fort Myers on our initial leg of the Great Loop, and a couple weeks to get into the swing of urban life – it was time to return to bus life! Well, at least for a week. Our mission was a combination of getting the bus into its longer […]
Starting the Great Loop – First Adventure: Punta Gorda, FL to Fort Myers, FL
We’ve finally worked through making all of the detailed posts about why we picked the boat that we did, and shopping for and buying it – and we can finally get to the REASON we bought a boat: Cruising The Great Loop!

Happy Hurricane Season: Our Florida Boating “Plans”
Today, June 1, marks the beginning of the Atlantic Hurricane Season. It’ll run until November 30, and it’s predicted to be an active one. And yup, we just bought a boat in Florida. The way we see it, aside from rushing our cruising up the east coast to say … upstate New York, there’s no […]

Last October we shared in depth what we thought we were looking for in a Great Loop boat: Great Loop Boat Hunting — Chasing our Dreamboat As a recap, here were some of the things that we mentioned that we were seeking: “As for boat length — 40’ seems to be our sweet spot, +/- 5 feet.” […]
Boat vs RV – First Impressions of Living Aboard a Boat & Differences from RV Living
We’ve now been living aboard our boat Y-Not for 2 months, and it seems like a good time to share some of our initial thoughts on the lifestyle differences from our RV-life. This is by no means a competition between RV and boat life – we absolutely love RVing, and look forward to moving back aboard […]
10 Years as a Technomad – Thoughts on How the Nomadic Community Has Changed
Today is my tenth nomadiversary. If you had asked me 10 years ago what I’d be doing now, a decade later, I can pretty much guarantee you I wouldn’t have said that I’d be ‘still on the road’. Quite honestly, I really thought this nomadic phase would have been long done and fulfilled by now, perhaps […]
Shifts in our Social Media Focus
Chris and I have been online interacting socially since before the internet was called the internet. It’s part of who we are, and being online forms a vibrant part of our social lives. But we have to admit, some days, we feel a little spread thin trying to keep up with all the places we […]
