We’ve had this silly hat in our bin full of sailing gear for as long as we can remember. We were given one as a joke when we first started telling people we were planning to move on to a sailboat. You know your dreams are big when they inspire your friends to buy you …
Here’s a little interior boat tour. We’ve got a “Get Me to the Greek” guest room going on over on the starboard side. Thanks to the local bedding shop lady who doesn’t speak a lick of English but made it pretty clear with some very enthusiastic gestures that we should buy some Greek blue and …
It’s sticker removal day. Feel free to fly over and join us. You’ll need: One scraper, a spray bottle of cleaner, a few rags, five or six cuss words, and a plastic bag to help collect all the scraped off bits to burn as a sacrificial offering to the sea gods. The old name …

They’re now off to France to get a glimpse of their new catamaran which is still being built. We’re soooo excited for …
