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…
You know how a few times in your life you meet someone and you know they will be one of your best friends for the rest of your life? One of those people that even if you don’t live in the same town or state and may not see each other for a few years, it just…
Last week was a big week of “4s” on our boat. I turned the big 4-0 and Maria turned 4. I’m not a big gift person but I was hoping for one thing on my birthday…for my parents to be with me. A year ago I started planting the seed with them that they should…
Written by Joellen Right now we are in Georgetown, Exumas. This is the most crowded place in the Exumas but we love it. This is the most south we will go on our trip. There are lots of kid boats here from all over the world. I’ve become friends with kids from the US, Canada, England…

Last Wednesday our really good friend, Zach Frank, flew from Atlanta to Florida and boarded Adagio to sail with us down the coast to Miami. Marc met Zach in middle school and they were best friends for two years. Then Zach moved to Cincinnati and Marc and Zach lost touch. But Marc and Zach ran…
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…
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…
