Why so BLUE | The Victron Overhaul 2.0
Christmas is near and we have a boat filled with little blue boxes. Sadly, none of them have jewelry in them.
Welcome to the Victron age Honu Time. It is time to clean up after the electrical fiasco and start the repairs and rebuilding. Our Hunter is going f...
Electrical Fire Disaster | We can't catch a break
What a momentous occasion this leg of the trip has been. We finally made it back to where it all began. Nine months ago, we purchased/adopted our Honu and we have finally “circumnavigated” back to Hilton Head with so much more knowledge than w...
The New Normal | Learning the ropes of boat life
Things will never be the same again. You can’t just pop out for a carton of milk or quick bite with friend. Things need to planned out, weather checked, anchor secured and dinghy deployed.
We have had the pleasure of being at marinas for the last c...
Ain't Nothin' Gonna Hold Us Down
Before we left the safety and security of our happy marina home in Virginia we thought that we had secured all of our systems and we were ready for the next adventure. But as boat life goes you need to be prepared for anything.
We are so lucky that we w...
We never expected this!
We have been told that everything on our boat is broken, we just don’t know it yet. On that note, we made sure that we went over everything before we left the dock. The last thing we wanted was a malfunction the first time we take our 46’ sailboat, Honu Time into the open oc...
We want to take a minute to celebrate with you our first full year as liveaboards on Honu Time.
As most of you know who have been with us from the beginning for this crazy journey.. it hasn’t been easy but wow, have we learned so much.
On that note, we wanted to share with you our top ten newbie c...
When Dreams Become a Reality!
We can’t believe this day has finally arrived! We have been working tirelessly on our 2001 Hunter for the past 11 months with a dream and a goal of traveling the world with her. Ok, maybe not the world right off the bat, but to the Bahamas for starters. There were day...
A Shuck’n Good Time!
It has been a dream of our to get the opportunity to go to the Annapolis boat show in the Chesapeake. Josh and I have worked boat shows for years in our old industries and it was nice to finally be apart of the crowd and just take it all in. The show was amazing. To be able to ...
A Hole Lot of Fun!
More boat yoga anyone? Now that we are “experts” in fiberglass it’s time to tackle the anchor locker and weakly mounted windlass. The mounting plate and fiberglass is so cracked we are worried that one day when we are pulling the anchor up it might rip right off the boat complete...
The day has finally arrived. We are scheduled to get back in the water. Just a few minor projects to complete... Wax the hull, install the prop, paint the bottom of the keel and stand plates, then wash the boat and were done. Minor stuff.
It was very surreal to see the all the stands knocked down u...
I never thought dealing with a hole in the boat could be so satisfying.
This week was a true test of DIY with your spouse. We had to coordinate two separate jobs while trying to talk to each other through the hull of the boat and let me tell you that proved to be a challenge. But we did it, and we...
Now that the fiberglass rebuild work has been completed on the rudder it’s time to start getting the rest of the hull back in shape.
We have 685 sq ft of surface to prep and paint before Hurricane Ian comes knocking on our door step. The blisters are almost repaired and smoothed out as to not cause...
To say that we have a lot of work ahead of us is an understatement!
Now that we are in the thick of things we are getting a real idea of what needs to be done on Honu. It's not just about scraping and painting the bottom. The game is the same just the players have changed a bit. Nothing like ...
Can turtles fly?
It’s haul out day! “There is nothing scarier and more exciting than seeing your entire house and everything you own held up by two little yellow straps” That is the understatement of a life time.
We have been waiting for this moment for 8 months and had built up so many ideas of ...
Will it ever go it?
If we are ever going to move our boat again, we need to get our engine up and running. The trip north really did a number on her and we are now ready to put everything back in working order. But that doesn’t always prove to be as easy as you hope.
It’s funny how all boat proj...
More Boat Projects!
We have final made it to our new home in Virginia and boy was that shakedown cruise a doozy. We have discovered a whole “boat” load of new boat projects to do. But as they say, your project list never ends.
To list off a few items we are starting with:
Exhaust hose, alternato...
Is this the end of our journey?
What a change in scenery we had this week. Going from the tranquil grasses and trees to a full-on industrial landscape, what a shock to the senses.
We had to deal with major shipping lanes, movable bridges on schedules, planning our own navigation in open water a...
We Got Infested 🦟
Who knew that the ICW would be a go to vacay? The more we travel it the more we wonder how many beautiful things we have not seen in the world… not even that far. How many beautiful things we have not seen in North America. Whenever we think of vacation it’s usually some warm exo...
Chasing the Sunshine! 😎🏝
Sometimes you need to slow down and smell the roses. We have been on a mission to get north as quick as possible and have forgotten to stop and to explore all the really cool places along the way.
Enter Beaufort, NC … not to be confused with Beaufort, SC 🤦🏻♀️
If you have...
Boat Life: Living Our Best Life
Wow! Does it get any better than this?!
Some days are just fantastic from the moment you open your eyes. These were those days.
The sun was shining the current was flowing in our direction and the scenery was fantastic on the ICW. We shared a very busy day on the ...
WE HIT! Top & Bottom
Well, I guess it was inevitable. We knew the party wasn’t going to last forever.
There is something truly special about taking the time to traverse this water way. We have had the opportunity to explore some absolutely amazing places in the past week. There have been some...
Squat down and hold your breath!
I don’t know if we have mentioned it before but Honu is a big girl for the ICW. We hit the max in both directions. Our mast is 63.5Ft and our keel is 6.5Ft. The majority of the fixed bridge heights are 65ft at high tide, the depth of the channel is 8-10ft at low tid...
Show me your Monkey!
What a day of firsts.
There is no dipping your toe in the pool for us we dive all in and figure it out as we go.
This is the first time we have driven the boat. The first time we have charted and dealt with tides, currents, and shoaling. First time we have anchored the boat....
Bahamas or Bust! 🏝
What a wild ride! We learned so much on this trip and we solidified our confidence in the knowledge we have acquired so far. Like anything you study for, it’s super cool when you can put it into practice.
I think that is the biggest part of facing your fears and shattering your...
