We had a blast with our kids while they crewed aboard. No matter how old they get, they’re still kids doing kids stuff…and we loved every minute they were here! But next time, they better bring our grandkids. PEEPING CLARK This guy loved getting on the paddle board and hanging out in …
Just before Chey and Clark headed home, we raised the sails one more time and turned off the engines. There’s a sound that’s hard to describe, when suddenly the clamor of motors hush and the faint sound of wind and arching canvas builds and amplifies. Imperceptibly, the sound of water lapping at your boat joins …
The pop of a Pringles can has led our oldest daughter down the rabbit hole into a pernicious addiction. Once she discovered their Paprika flavored crisps her brain turned into orange dust and has become preoccupied with the procurement of Pringles. And if she finds a can anywhere, she will dispose ALL of them from …
It’s always a blast to play games at night out on Bedouin’s cockpit. It’s even more fun to play with our kid’s spouses who had their own way of playing the same games growing up with their families. It always seems the rules we followed were different–apparently, we may not have been good at reading …
Since we’re working our way to the Split airport so our oldest kids can catch a new flight on another airline, we decided to scoot around Vis—a spectacularly laid back Croatian island. Our scooters were called “Typhoons” but someone at the moped factory got a little over-zealous on model naming day. As we sadly …
…And they’rrrrre back! What happens when your kid’s airline goes on strike and they get stranded?? You get ready to have them come back to the boat, hang the welcome back banner up again, and then give them their crew jobs back. The next closest flight on a non-striking airline is seven …
We were stoked to find a great parking spot when we pulled in to the town of Korčula, but then we got out and TRIED to read the parking sign–no comprendo. So we pulled out our handy dandy phones and did a little google photo translate. The fact that it could translate the sign was …
One of the Dalmatian coast’s little jewels is the island and town of Korčula. It’s like a shrinky-dink version, as if someone traced Dubrovnik and popped it in the oven and made it pint-sized. We rented a car so we could motor in and drop them off at the airport and decided to head …
We took a little sunset reconnaissance ride with Cheyenne and Clark to go check out another submarine cave. It seems we can’t get enough of these stealthy hiding spots. They are endlessly fascinating. This cave was up in Croatia and a bit bigger than the ones we saw in Montenegro. This one was …
Here’s a nerdy Greek mythology post: According to Croatian guide books, on our sail up north towards Trogir, we would be passing the alleged cave where Homer’s character Odysseus, from his epic poem “the Odyssey,” was beguiled by the nymph Calypso. Croatia claims this to be the actual cave from Homer’s fictitious …
