Recently, Jen and I were interviewed by David Anderson from the Sailing Podcast. David is based in Queensland, Australia and his goal is to share real stories about sailing and cruising. “The people he interviews share their story with the idea to help you realize your dream of sailing away.” Here is a link to…
It is hard to believe that it’s been two years since we sold our house in Indiana and started this journey. We are now off the boat and have moved into a rental home in Asheville, North Carolina. We have had many transitions over the last few months so I thought it would be fun to…
In my last blog post, I talked about how Joellen, Camden and their new friend Townes schmoozed their way into getting us a tour at a marine research school up the road here in Cape Eleuthera. With the invite to the Cape Eleuthera Institute (CEI), Townes and his parents on S/V Dawn Patrol decided to…
It’s been a whirlwind the last three weeks. Especially for the five of us who are used to ‘una vida tranquila’ (a tranquil life) living here in Costa Rica. But it was a wonderful three weeks filled with family and memories and celebration. As I wrote in my last post, Marc’s parents came to visit…
Jen and I were interviewed by Erik Hemingway from Family Adventure Podcast. The interview lasts about 40 minutes and is posted on itunes (click here for link). We talked about how our dream came about, how we planned and saved, as well as some of the amazing adventures we had so far. We also shared…
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…
Disclaimer: Blog posts like this one are not to come across as ‘holier than thou’ or that we are better than other cruisers. That is not our intention at all nor do we think that. We write this blog to keep in contact with family and friends but also to record our trip so that Marc,…
We are now 3 days into this journey as we moved aboard the boat this weekend. We are having a great time and all are adjusting well. We do need to watch our water usage as we have been using a ton. Homeschooling is going great and Jen is doing an amazing job as the…
Check out the side of our U-Haul…Stowe on it!!! For those of you that have only known me since 1999, you may not know that my maiden name is Stowe. How cool is that? When Marc pulled into the U-Haul dealership in Indianapolis, they walked him over to our rental trailer and he belly laughed when…
So next week, December 18th 2013, we will move the last bit of our stuff either into a small u-haul that we will pull with our mini-van to Fort Lauderdale or it will go into our 10×15 storage unit that holds all of what we own. (before being full) (trying to figure our where to put…
