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…
I’ve been wanting to get a blog post out for awhile about my love for essential oils. Since we’ve been here for another week in Miami waiting for safe weather to cross over to the Bahamas, I finally have the time to write this post. I have fallen in love with essential oils and their medicinal…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
