Provisions I am not a good cook – nor do I pretend to be. When I was given the job to shop and prepare food for two months on the boat my head was spinning. No Amazon prime, no Peapod and no mistakes – or I end up with grumpy crew to live with. TopContinue reading “Provisions”

I Can See Clearly Now
The last few days have been beyond beautiful. Crossing the gulf stream for the first time was incredible. Not many people get to say they’ve done it before, i’m glad i’m one of them. My favorite thing about crossing the gulf stream? Doing it while eating my favorite food, chocolate ice cream. Dad and IContinue reading “I Can See Clearly Now”
The news …
The buzz of our adventure started to make our way around our circle of friends. All so genuinely excited for us but then there was the “question” and it was asked over and over …. Is Cindy ok with this? And if they were not asking it – they were thinking it. Lol. All ofContinue reading “The news …”
Boomer
Hey everyone! The trip has been pretty crazy so far, as I have been forced to cut my daily nap hours from 20 to 18. My family keeps running around trying to organize stuff while I’m just trying to sleep! Anyway I’m really excited to go to the islands, and they keep telling me howContinue reading “Boomer”
4:52 am
Getting woken up by Dad in the middle of the night is never a good sign when you’re at anchor. The Explorer Navigation platform we use allows us to set an anchor radius. If we were to drift out of that radius, a loud alarm sounds on my Dad’s iPad. Well, it’s our second nightContinue reading “4:52 am”
Tired
It’s never felt so good to crawl into bed and write this post. 7 days of non stop work on this boat has felt like a lifetime. From selling our house to this, the month of November was a complete blur of work lists and endless projects I have no clue where the time hasContinue reading “Tired”
Thanksgiving Projects
Going to keep this one short and sweet cause it’s been a few very long days of boat work. We’ve tested most of the boat systems, done basic cleaning, and sorted through what seems to be the West Marine store of parts in the boat. I replaced the drinking water spout outside in the cockpitContinue reading “Thanksgiving Projects”
Go Time
The last few days have felt like a lifetime. Pretty sure I have made friends with the dump employees I have been there so many times. Since we’re finally moved out of our house, I think I can officially say with confidence we have a way to much stuff. When it started to get darkContinue reading “Go Time”
Crunch Time
I no longer have a desk in my room and can’t seem to get enough sleep. 3 days until we leave and it doesn’t seem to be enough time. We sold our home, our family lake house, and a lot of stuff all in a matter of months to make this trip happen. Packing upContinue reading “Crunch Time”
On the Move
For those of you that know me and my family, we never seem to have down time. Constantly moving from one place to the next, seeking more adventure and new opportunities. Although some of us may enjoy more down time then others (*cough* Mom), we always find a way to cherish the time we spendContinue reading “On the Move”
