Post by Kelsey… I am so fortunate to have had the opportunity to visit the Konesco crew for a second time this summer. I had such a blast with them in the Bahamas and I did not want to miss out on the chance to go to Costa Rica! When I first arrived I was…
Even though I lived in Costa Rica for a year back in 1998, every time I wake up here and look out the window of our house, it takes my breath away. The beauty of the mountains cannot be described, and the constant closeness to nature makes you feel so alive. We volunteer at Residencia de…
I recently had the opportunity to visit the Konesco crew aboard the Adagio. For one week, I lived on the boat and experienced what life at sea is all about. Prior to my visit, I helped build this blog and like many of you, I have been following their adventures through the great posts Jen has…
Camden turned the Big 8 yesterday. His only request for his birthday was to go deep sea fishing. No surprise there! Cam started the day by baking his cake with me and opening up presents. He got a Tervis Tumbler with the Hope Town lighthouse and fish on it.And he got this shirt which I’m sure he…
We are in Hope Town, Abacos and just can’t seem to get out of here.It’s not that the engine is broken or that the weather is keeping us locked in here. We have simply fallen in love with this town and the island. But let me take a step back. When we pulled into the…
As part of homeschooling today, I decided to interview the kids and get their feedback on living on a boat for the last 5 months. Additionally, Jen and I answered the questions. Below is a picture of their handwritten responses to work on their handwriting, and then I typed them into this blog. Camden is taking after his…
Our last stop in The Exumas this year was Cambridge Cay. We buddy boated from Staniel to Cambridge with Chip and Elizabeth. This was the most remote part we traveled to but it was the best exploring. We can’t wait to return here next year. Marc and I made every attempt to homeschool Joellen and Camden every…
As we began this journey, we had a desire to learn to fish. For me (Marc), I grew up fishing bass in ponds and then up in Canada in Lake Erie but it was something I did occasionally and wasn’t very good at. My Grandpa Joe found such joy in it and was a darn good fisherman. I know…
I can’t believe our little Maria (nickname Rascal) turned three on April 26. Even though we still call her “the baby”, it hit me on her birthday that she’s really growing up. Marc and I comment on a frequent basis how much Maria has matured during our short time thus far at sea. This was a low…
After Warderick Wells we sailed south to Staniel Cay. We met lots of new friends from other cruisers to local Bahamians on Staniel. We dropped anchor around noon on April 21 and dinghyed over to town because we were hoping to find some food outside of our carbohydrate genre (on the boat our lunch options are either cheese…
