Chloe misses a few things stateside. Mostly tacos, definitely Chick-fil-A, and sometimes her brother. But here in Porto Montenegro she found Big Bite…so close to being her beloved Chick-fil-A, this girl is happy. We”re heading up toward Kotor next so we hit up Big Bite one last time before we left. Poor Kris …
This is no small win. After living over here in Greece and Montenegro, without speaking any of the native tongue except for the compulsory “Good Morning” and “Thank You” and a few other fun things to say, I’ve finally mastered the produce weighing machines. Grocery shopping in a language you don’t understand is an …

We’re headed north towards Kotor Bay. Chloe’s happy to have some extra crew aboard to spread the deck work out to and from the looks of things, it appears like she’s got a good work schedule set up.
Based on the awesome recommendations that our new friend Ovi gave us, we hired a driver and set out to see Stari Bar. “Stari” is Slavic for “old one” and is a common name used to refer to the original town. We’re currently moored in Bar, the newer town named for the older one that’s …
People often think sailing is a big scary venture filled with perilous seas, nefarious pirates, overwhelming uncertainty and most certainly a life unattached from community. But the truth is that it’s filled with a countless pattern of unique sunsets, the lulling rhythm of ocean, and so many new experiences that will burst your senses …
Our first stop into Montenegro was the town of Bar. We checked in to the country and got all our paperwork in order. Both the town of Bar and it’s marina were so laid back and friendly. And when we say this country is laid back we mean laaaaaaid baaaack. These are some of …
Come to Greece they said. It’ll be fun they said. Not sure poor Kris knew that her trip out to see us included deck scrubbing and being assigned to the 2am-4pm night watch on our passage to Montenegro. But we have a shiny boat and two hours more sleep than we usually …
