Hi all! With all of our stuff stowed away, it's time to get back to our boat work checklist. First up? We check off one of the biggest remaining jobs. Finishing and painting the bottom of our Gulfstar 50 sailboat. Thank you for all of your support. I...

Hey all! We are working very hard towards getting Magic Dragon back into the water. Previously, we put on a new coat of bottom paint. This time, we start tackling the remaining major projects on our final pre-launch checklist. Thank you for following a...

Hey all! This is it. We've been on the hard for around 15 months by now. What started as a quality of life refit turned into a serious project after Hurrican Ian. But, after it all, we are in the final stretch of projects. So, please join us as we put ...

Hi all, It's finally launch week! We've been working hard for over a year to get our 1980 Gulfstar 50 ready for launch. Now it's time to check off the last few projects and set the boat into the water. Hopefully she doesn't sink! Much love, Andy &a...

Hi all! After failing our first launch attempt, we charge ahead with some additional repairs with the help of new crew. Then we head back to the launch pad. Hopefully, the boat isn't sinking this time! Much love, Kirstin & Andy

Hello all! Today we shove off from the Charlotte Harbor Boat Storage dock for good and take off on our adventure! It's been a long time coming, and we are thrilled to share this entire journey with you, our fantastic viewers and subscribers. To keep ...

Hi all! We are back from Pelican Bay and are hanging out on anchor in Punta Gorda, Florida. It's a bit of a slow week while we wait on parts, so it's time to head ashore and enjoy the Southwest Florida Wingfest & Craft Beer festival. It's important...

Hey all! We are finally making significant forward progress on the water. We spent over a year fixing our boat and have now spent almost two months testing things out in the protected waters of Charlotte Harbor. Please join us as we venture into the Gu...

Hi all, Fear is the enemy of progress. You must face your fears and refuse to let them control you. In this one, we face down the daunting task of an overnight sail from Marco Island to Key West. An overnight passage might seem like no big deal for you...

Hi all, Key West is a fantastic place, especially if you are visiting by land. If you are visiting by private boat... well, things can be a bit interesting. The anchorages don't have the best holding, they are not well protected from the wind, and the ma...

Hi all, Since launching the boat, we've going from Port Charlotte to Punta Gorda to Pelican Bay to Cabbage Key to Smokehouse Bay in Marco Island and finally, to Key West. We've enjoyed this route so much that we are fixing to set sail back north to Port ...

Hi All! After a solid shakedown cruise, we feel confident in our sailboat and confident in navigating some of the best anchorages in Western Florida (Marco Island, Key West, Cabbage Key, etc.). It's time to welcome new crew aboard our 1980 Gulfstar 50. Y...

Hi all, Once every 365 days, we are blessed with the opportunity to celebrate our birthdays. Well, luck just so has it that Kirstin gets to celebrate this birthday with her parents and puppies after waiting out a massive storm. Please join us in celebr...

Hey all! A few days ago, Kirstin's parents, Don and Sue, joined our crew. After celebrating a birthday and giving the new crew an introduction to sailing, it's time to take in some of the best sights and sounds of western Florida. We are going to start wi...

Hey all, It's finally time, we land a fish! But first, there is a quick checklist to run through with the in-laws. Much love, Kirstin & Andy #travel #sailing #boatlife #diy #realife #liveaboard #boat #sailboat #tinyhome #birthday #keywest #stor...

Hi all! Don and Sue are still on the boat with us, and we've finally made it to their dream destination, Key West. We're thrilled to have you join us as they see the island for the first time. Much love, Kirstin & Andy #travel #sailing #boatlife...

Hi all, Our extra crew are leaving the boat soon, and we make plans to go back to Chicago. Is this the end of our journey? Thank you for all of the support. Much love, Kirstin & Andy #travel #sailing #boatlife #diy #realife #liveaboard #boat #...

Hi All! After a month or so away from the boat, we are back and about to set off our trek out of the hurricane box. We are getting a late start to the journey, so we have to push hard to keep moving. Thanks for all of the love and support! Much love,...

Hey all! We continue our mad dash out of the hurricane box after 3 days in the wonderful Islamorada. Much love, Kirstin & Andy #islamorada #floridakeys #boatlife #sailboat #travel #tinyhome #boat #letsplay If you'd like to learn more about All...

Hi all, Our great trek out of the hurricane box continues from Pumpkin Key to Miami to Ponce Inlet, Florida. Along the way we take in the beautiful Bill Baggs state park, wonderful sunsets, and no less than three storm fronts. Ah... the highs and lows of...

Hey all! We made it through the storms north of Miami to arrive at Ponce Inlet/New Smyrna Beach, Florida. We settled into a lovely routine for a few days in this beautiful coastal town, and we topped off the relaxing stay with a visit to the incredible 18...

Hi all! Our home state of Missouri has some history to be sure, but nothing like the history on the East Coast of the USA (much less the history of Europe). So, it's always a thrill for us to check out historic towns and structures. In this one, we visit...

Hi all! St. Augustine was a fantastic little break from our trek north, but it's time to get moving again. We wrap things up on the mooring ball and take off for St. Simons Island, GA. A major front rocks us on the passage, but we get there safely and st...

Hi all! It's time to hop on the Intracoastal Waterway (the "ICW" or the "Ditch") and continue our trek north out of the Hurricane Box. In this one we take off from St. Simons Island, GA and head to Charleston, SC. Along the way, we take in the spectacular ...

Hi all! We need your help! We are thrilled to announce that we will be at the Annapolis Boat Show, October 12-15, 2023. Even more exciting is that we are up for three International Cruisers awards - Best Refit, Best YouTube Channel, and Best Episode. Li...

Hi all! In this one, we continue our trip up the ICW, leaving Charleston and ending up in Georgetown, SC, and holy cow, we were treated to a historic gem. Georgetown was at one point in time the county seat of one of the wealthiest counties in the United...

Hi all! New crew! One of our dearest friends made her way from Chicago down to Wrightsville Beach to join our motley crew for a bit. But, before welcoming her onboard, we arrived at the anchorage early, checked out the beaches, and tried out a new sport ...

Hi all! As you know, last episode we picked up our good friend, Emily, in Wrightsville Beach. Well, now it is time to acclimate her to the liveaboard lifestyle. We tackled some chores first, took the dogs out, and then hit up the beach ourselves. Event...

Hi All! Our wild adventure with Emmie continues in Beaufort, NC. Last time we ran the boat aground in the ICW, but it was worth it to get here. Please join us as we go looking for wild horses, take a historic bus tour, and walk the streets at night with B...

Hi all! The solitude of cruising is one of its many charms, but sometimes taking on extra crew is the exact spice you need to keep things interesting. Well, for the last several weeks, we've had the best crew anyone could ask for. Kirstin's dear friend, ...

Lighthouses, beaches, and blue water. What more could you ask for from the Outer Banks of North Carolina. We've made a big decision, but before we act on it, we take a little side trip to the Outer Banks, NC, specifically Cape Lookout. It was exactly wha...
