This is our third time launching the boat after spending time on the hard. We’ve figured out the routine, for the most part, and each time has been easier than the last. But with so many moving parts, literally and figuratively, it seems like there’s always a new surprise or challenge.
When we first bought our sailboat, we didn't know anything about boat repair. Now, a few years and dozens of boat projects later, we've acquired quite a bit of experience. With similar projects popping up a second time we don’t feel so clueless anymore!
We’re back to the boat!! This is our fourth season aboard — but this time, baby Renata is along for the ride!
For the past four years, we’ve lived as nomads, splitting our time between cruising and working on Soulianis, and driving around in our van, Chip, to see family & friends, while hunting for real estate.
Very excited to share with you the birth of Renata, our baby girl! After leaving the boat in Florida over hurricane season, we spend the summer preparing for the addition to our crew.
Huge life changes are on the horizon! We’ve known for a while that our Tartan 37 won’t be our “forever” boat. With a baby on the way, she’s getting a little small...
This is it — our very last sail for just the two of us, before we add another crew member.
…because then it wouldn’t be special! The weather, wind and waves all came together on our sail from Marco Island up to Ft Myers.
One last blissful trip before the baby arrives... that wasn’t exactly our babymoon!
This is the end of an era for the two of us! With our first baby on the way, our cruise down to the Keys becomes our unofficial babymoon.
