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…
Well, we are still here in Miami. This is a visual explanation of why we haven’t left yet. This is Marc with our generator batteries in the V-berth. This is one of three reasons we are still here stateside.This is what went down. This past Thursday Marc and I were getting Adagio all ready to make the…
Adagio splashed 7 days ago and she is happy to be back in the water and so are we. Here she was on the hard last week and being transported back to the water. We have been busy this last week unpacking, provisioning, and meeting other boaters. Here’s Camden on the boat with our boxes from…

We are back! The Konesco Crew arrived in Fort Pierce, Florida last Friday, June 20. Marc estimated we would arrive at 6:30 am and we sailed in at 7 am. Impressively close calculations! But let me take a few steps back to a week and a half ago… On Friday, June 13 we dropped Marc’s cousin Kelsey…
Provisioning. It’s a subject that liveaboard cruisers discuss often, along with subjects like anchors and the head. Last month I went to a seminar at the Miami Boat Show called “Cruising for Women”. We discussed everything from docking to doing laundry by hand to provisioning. The provisioning advice that was given was take what you like to…
In terms of the boat, we as a family continue to learn how to live together and function as a unit in a very small space. We are four weeks into this journey and continue to enjoy it each day. Our total living area is less than 350 square feet. Within that, it has been a…
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…
