Several times on our journey from Chesapeake City, Maryland to East Greenwich, Rhode Island, Stephanie and I turned on the camera and did some Facebook Live videos! We have since downloaded the videos and created a new ‘playlist’ at my business YouTube Channel. To view the videos, please click the link below, and then select …
Good morning from Cape May, New Jersey! In a few short days, I’ve learned a lot about schedules, plans, perspective and who’s in control – and who’s not! We had planned to be pulling into Rhode Island tomorrow and now will not likely leave New Jersey till Thursday due to high winds. Good weather permitting, …
Our rescue dog Blue is beginning to adjust to life on a boat, although bouncing around in the water is clearly not his favorite activity! This morning Stephanie and I wanted to go out to breakfast and we decided to see how Blue did staying by himself. Just to make sure he didn’t bark or get …
Last Saturday we invited 50 friends, family and former neighbors down to Chesapeake City, MD for a Bon Voyage party, tour our floating home and also be witnesses to the official boat renaming ceremony. It was a very special day, and Stephanie and I both felt an important step in our big adventure. Enjoy the …
Funny thing … one of our daughters recently said that our blog is boring! Well, we agree, but in our defense, there hasn’t been a lot to post about during the winter months. But we’re moving aboard in three weeks, and ‘casting off’ in five weeks, so there’s soon going to be a lot more …
It has been unusually warm these last several weeks and as any boater will tell you, that means an early start to boating season! When Stephanie and I decided to take this big adventure, we agreed that she would be in charge of navigation and this past weekend she successfully completed a course in basic …

Stephanie and I closed on our home last Thursday and are now moved into our one bedroom cottage on a farm for the winter. We now await spring, warmer temperatures and the next move to our Floating Home. We were blessed to find a rental that the owner was okay renting on a month to …
After several days of packing and multiple trips to the storage unit, our home is now empty. We had one more visit from our wonderful cleaners and today Stephanie and I said goodbye to our family home of 28 years. We honestly thought it would be a little harder to walk out the door for …
This past Sunday we drove our Floating Home from Tracey’s Landing, MD (south of Annapolis) to Chesapeake City, MD. Specifically, our home port is Bohemia Bay Yacht Harbor on the beautiful Bohemia River. The 71 mile trip took us 3 hours and 12 minutes and we averaged 22 mph – not bad for such a …
Stephanie and I finally took possession of our dream boat today – exciting times! We’ve had requests for interior pictures but didn’t feel comfortable while it was still someone else’s boat. But now we can share and show you why we fell in love with this boat. The top pictures are the aft deck couch …
One of the most important things you can do when purchasing a boat is to hire an experienced captain and certified surveyor. Stephanie and I feel so blessed to hire the best in the business, Captain Robert ‘Buz’ Woodward. Buz went over our boat from top to bottom, bow to stern and we then scheduled …
Stephanie came home one day after work last spring and said to me, “It’s time for an adventure.” I smiled and asked her what she had in mind and she said she didn’t know the “what” but felt that we’ve lived most of our lives safely and ‘by the book’ and now it was time …
