While we’re currently on our boat in north Florida, we’re starting to make preps and plans to store the boat and return to our bus this winter. Out bus is currently stored in Texas, which is where we’ll pick that adventure up – which got me reminiscing today about one of our favorite state park […]

Hurricane Irma – 1 Year Later: Hurricane Tracking Tips
One year ago this morning, we were sitting in our bus parked in Alabama watching Hurricane Irma make landfall in the Florida Keys. We had just tied up our boat in Marathon, picked up our bus in Melbourne (also in the potential storm track) and evacuated. (Recap: Marathon & Hurricane Irma) It was a crazy time […]
Pouring Rent Into the Tank: A Perspective on Fuel Costs for Full Time RVers and Boaters
A life of perpetual motion in your own home that moves is a fantastic way to explore the world around us. We’ve enjoyed nomadic travels since 2006 in several types of RV and now also a motor yacht. One of the very first concerns you’ll hear voiced about RVs and boats is how much fuel […]

We Bought a House…. !! Our Long Term RVing Plans at SKP Saguaro Co-Op in Benson, AZ
Ok.. well, not technically. First, we didn’t buy property. We purchased a lifetime lease. Next, it’s not really a ‘house’ but an RV lot with a casita. But still, we’re super excited to have finally reached this milestone that has been in the works for over two years and all part of our long term […]

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 […]
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 […]
