Although I vowed never to return, the whole reason I returned to California was to assist my Mother (Sister and Bro-in-law as well) in moving out of the state… and right back to Washington – where I left only days ago. Yep, I got to re-drive 700 miles of the...
We had the entire week to make the 800+ mile drive back to Kerri’s family where I had a date with my family the following weekend. Thinking we would drive a couple hours each day after work-hours, we thought we would arrive in Friday evening, five days after leaving Bellingham, WA....
Yes, I’ve been very quiet in the past few weeks. I’m not much the kind of guy to give a play-by-play of each individual repair or upgrade I do, either on the van or the boat, so I have spared you all that tedium. Needless to say, I was working...
The entire past week has just been crap weather. Not that it was unexpected for this time of year in the Pacific North West, but I’m not accustomed to all this dreariness. Kerri has been hard at work – this being her busiest time of the year – while I...
It has been two weeks since we moved onto the boat. We have not left the dock yet for multiple reasons; A) There are some repairs we would like to do before we start sailing, and B) our insurance will not cover us because we do not know how to...
With our 2018 van-travel plans complete for the year, I’ve gone ahead and updated my all-inclusive travel map. If you are like me, things like this interest you. The map is available on Google Maps for the viewers to tinker with, feel free. See the brown line in the above...
We have been living on the boat for a week now. It is all the time required to start writing internet how-to’s and producing YouTube videos on which is the best way to perform daily tasks while living the #SailLife… am I right? I promise, I will not be doing...
It wasn’t that long ago in my mind, but yesterday was exactly 2500 days (almost 7 years) since I started full-time living on the road (I did 20 months of most-time living on the road prior). I recall Dec 28, 2011 very well; leaving Colorado on my way south to get away...
It has been a busy past few days. We were out on Orcas Island when the paperwork on the new sailboat was starting to pour in. Documents needed to be printed, signed, and the boat still needed to be paid for. And we really did not want to extend this...
We decided to take our island hopping to a whole new level. This time by going to an island that can not be driven too; San Juan Island. It was somewhat of a time killing exercise as well as a National Park visit with the San Juan Island National Historic...
