Show and Tell – Sailboat Style
Many of you have asked about our boat. One thing we always get when we bring people aboard is comments about how spacious it is, for a 35′ boat. Since a picture is worth a thousand words, we’ve put together a video and photo tour to give you a better idea of our very simple, very minimal living space. We love the freedom, the simplicity, the experiences and the amazing views that she brings us every single day. Hope you enjoy!
Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum
The Internet is a fascinating thing yes? I mean how spoiled are we that now we no longer have to go to the library and look through that small “filing” cabinet of index cards to find a book! Yes a book. Encyclopedia’s are a thing of the past. The mighty Internet has liberated us from all that toil and trouble. We now only need to “Google” something to find one-hundred and seventeen thousand, three-hundred and twenty-one websites containing the words “blah, blah and blah Kardashian”. And, as a sailboater with very little storage for said Encyclopedias, we treasure our internet service as our life-line to everything from weather to the best local pub or market.
Have a Cool Yule!
Well, Christmas 2012 is almost in the rear-view mirror and what a Christmas it was. It was unlike any Christmas I’ve ever experienced. Warm, sunny palm trees decked out in lights. Garland and wreaths adorn fences and front doors. Christmas balls decorate the numerous yucca plants bursting from the sandy soil. I feel a little like a visitor to a strange land, the land of the Tropical Christmas.
Priorities
Priorities. That is an adult word if ever I heard one. Tough to remember sometimes but when it comes down to dollars and cents and keeping a budget on track, it’s a very big word. We back up into this word every day since we’ve landed.
Dog On Board
So… I find it only fitting that we talk a little more about what it’s like to travel with the Jetpack, our fifty-pound, four-legged, K-9 crew member. The “hairy son” as he’s affectionately known. The Ambassador.
What’s for dinner… skinner?
We get a lot of questions about living aboard but two topics top the list. Folks want to know where we go to the bathroom and what do we do for food? The first one is easy… in a bathroom….
Rock Hall Y’all!
So, after turning over the keys to castle to one Melody Puckett for her time to shine, I’m back. Sorry ladies… no more Brooklyn Decker picking her nose photos. And gents… I must also apologize. No more Brooklyn Decker photos…
Does Size Matter?
Indeed it does. But before we get into that, a disclaimer: WARNING: For any guys reading this – this is Melody – or as this blog’s archives call me, “the girl”. I will not be discussing anything about wind speed,…
And now for something completely different.
Heat wave. That’s the topic of discussion lately. It’s a real “ice breaker” if you’ll pardon the pun. The one thing I’m not quite certain about is the expression that folks feel compelled to ask at any point in time…
