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…
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…
When we sailed to Eleuthera, we thought we’d only be here for a few days before heading on to the Exumas. But we’ve stayed a lot longer than a few days. The more time we spend in Eleuthera, the more we fall in love with it. Here’s a recap of our last week and why…

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…
We’ve had many people ask us questions about homeschooling on a boat. Now that we have over five months under our belt, I feel I can answer the questions with more confidence and knowledge. But ask me again in six months and I may answer these questions differently. There is definitely a learning and patience curve…
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.
