We arrived to New Smyrna Beach in thanks to a dinner invitation from a YouTube fan. The marina had fabulous reviews, so we had booked a week at their very reasonable rates of $7.50/ft. We figured a little downtime would be good for us after a span of chaos. It didn’t take us long to […]

Next Up the Oregon Coast: The Yaquina Lighthouses & Newport
Yet another delightful stay along the Oregon coast near Yachats came to an end. With the turn in weather causing more rainy and cloudy days than not – it was time to move on up the coast for our next stop. The next lighthouses are two right by each other – Yaquina Bay Lighthouse and Yaquina […]
Next up the Oregon Coast: Heceta Head Lighthouse & Yachats
We had such a delightful stay at Winchester Bay, that it was tempting to stay around longer. But we were also looking forward to the next stop up the coast – exploring the Yachats area, and touring Heceta Head Lighthouse. So we pulled out of Salmon Harbor Marina and headed up with coast, with a […]
Next Up on the Oregon Coast – Cape Arago Lighthouse & Charleston
It feels so wonderful to be back to a meandering pace, and taking in life as we see fit. No impending deadlines, no schedule to keep, no destination we’re aiming for, no commitments. When we feel like moving on, we move on. When we find a location we really like, we extend. This is exactly […]
Lighthouses Guide More Than Ships
There have been few experiences so far in our nomadic journey where we leave already having set an intention to return someday. And yet – we have already signed up to return as hosts at Cape Blanco next year. I’ve been giving a lot of thought as to why I felt so connected and so […]
What?? The Month is Over Already??
Oh goodness, it seems like we just pulled into Cape Blanco to begin this lighthouse host adventure. How quickly four weeks goes by. We spent our last scheduled week trying to pack in as much awesome as we could – which is easy in a place where just sitting around is pretty darn awesome. […]
Sunset Magic
We had such a masterpiece of a sunset last evening… that I couldn’t resist another photo post of Cape Blanco Lighthouse. Hope you don’t mind.
Another Week at Cape Blanco
Pout. We are now short-timers here at Cape Blanco – entering our final week of volunteer hosting. We’ve been continuing to explore around the area, and have hardly left the campground – there’s just so much to do here. Such as wandering the beaches and trails at sunset… Or night hikes to view the light […]
Volunteer Lighthouse Hosting at Cape Blanco for RVers
After a major surgery a few years ago, my doctor read me my post-op instructions. The pain medicine I was on probably didn’t have me thinking the clearest, so I was confused as to why he was saying it was ok for me lift pails of oil up many dozens of steps so soon after […]
The Many Prisms of Cape Blanco
Hard to believe our second week at Cape Blanco has already flown by. We continue to experience such a wide variety of moods and colors here, and we remain absolutely enchanted. We’re immersing ourselves in lighthouse history and thoroughly enjoying the ‘job’ of sharing the magic with visitors. We’ve also remained incredibly busy. Between having […]
