Mark’s got his own chandlery and hardware store on the starboard side. The original owner remodeled the forward starboard shower into a closet to store his massive collection of spare parts. But don’t worry, there are two other showers aboard, and actually three if you count the one out back on our sugar scoop. …
We got an emergency weather alert late last night, (at least we think that’s what it was since it was all in Greek) so we decided try our first attempt at putting up the enclosure…at night…by flashlight. It was a slight comedy of errors, ending in my search on FB to see if I …
Meet Karen and Marcel. We couldn’t have found better people to buy a boat from! These two Kiwis are “flash”! They’re some of the nicest, most gracious, and adventurous people you’ll ever meet. They’re now off to France to get a glimpse of their new catamaran which is still being built. We’re soooo excited for …
Good morning from dry dock. Wishing there was water beneath us but for now we’re swimming in all the paperwork to get her officially registered in the US.

Especially at the toll booths since he’s got mad skills with euro change. He’s a HARD worker and a compassionate soul—and very patient with the elderly (a.k.a his parents). …
It’s Roadtrip time. We’re Athens bound and packed into our tiny car which barely fits Connor’s suitcase and me in the back. We bought a coin purse just to keep up with all the toll roads around here. And yes, that’s a 13,50€ toll for a bridge ahead. We’ll spend about 40€ passing through …
Poor thing, we’ve turned her into a shady carport. We’re keeping her dry docked to get some work done. Among the many boat projects, we’ve got to repaint her hulls after all the spots that were scraped off by the boat surveyor. But…as Captain Bret of @liahona44 would say, “a clean bottom is a happy …
