Right now we're living in clutter. The goal of these next couple months is to fix that, and that starts with adding useful storage areas in our boat.

It's safe to say that this passage was the exact opposite of our last. It was extremely calm, we were well prepared, and it went very smoothly. We are bound and determined to not make the same m...
We explore the local grocery store and where we were pleasantly surprised! This market in Luperon is clean and organized. You can find much more than you could ever see in the Bahamas. At least where we went. There is also a "veggie" truck that would come to the marina in Luperon Harbor th...

4. Trusting the GPS WAY more tha...

Where have we been???
Well, the simple explanation is we had to fire up the afterburners on our necessary boat projects to be able to get in the water before the 15th, meaning no time for editing and minimal filming. Why before the 15th? The yard we were at decided to more than double the liveaboa...
