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? As part of our day job over at the Mobile Internet Resource Center we’ve been closely tracking both 5G and Starlink for years. We […]

Nomads on Pause: Our Longest Stay Yet!
Five months ago we arrived back to Sanford, Florida – a favorite stop in our prior travels that felt most like home to us. Effectively putting nomadic life on pause as we wait out the pandemic and the craziness of the world. This now marks our longest stay in one place since we hit the […]
RVing and Cruising During Hurricane Season
So here we are again, in the southeast on the precipice of peak hurricane season. Despite hopes and wishes, not only did the season not get rescheduled due to COVID – it seems like the months ahead are shaping up to be a doozy with nearly double the number of predicted storms. At this point, […]
Boat vs RV: Which Costs More?
Ever since we purchased our motor yacht to start exploring the Great Loop after over a decade of full time RVing – we’ve been asked the question “which costs more?” multiple times. Now that we’ve had our boat for three years (3 years?!?!), we have enough numbers to do a proper comparison of the typical […]
Marooned in Sanford – One Month Down…
Hard to believe it’s been a month since we arrived to Sanford aboard our boat. It feels like both a year ago, and a day ago. How weird time flows these days. I know we’re not alone in that feeling as each day seems like a repeat of the last. Earlier this week we were […]

INTRUDER ALERT – Important Tip Learned For Reaching 911 When You’re Not Local
Last week, our boat was broken into while in storage ‘on the hard’. We’re currently nearly a 1000 miles away from the boat, traveling by van and staying with family in the St. Louis area. As we were settling in for the evening to watch a cop show (ironically), we got a motion alert on […]
Tour of our Boat’s Electrical System – Solar, Lithium & Inverters! (Updated for 2025)
As technomads – our mobile electrical systems are the lifeblood of our various nomadic homes. After all – we need to keep all this technology powered up somehow. And while stock RV and boat electrical systems are often perfectly useable (if somewhat limited) – whenever we embrace a technomadic home we just can’t resist diving […]
How Do We Afford Full Time Travel by RV and Boat?
Probably one of the most frequent questions we’ve gotten over the years is just how do we afford our lifestyle of constant million dollar views by RV and boat? We’ve gotten this question pretty much from the time we hit the road back in 2006. Assumptions range from we’re trust fund babies, early retirees and […]
