More than an adventure It’s become more than an adventure, it is now our way of life. We are approaching our 4th anniversary of life aboard Floating Home. What started as a one-year experience, now has no end in sight. This adventure has become our lifestyle. So why do we keep going? Jim and I …
Friday, May 30 we departed from our home port on the Bohemia River to begin our 4 day journey to Rhode Island. The first day we made it through the C & D canal, down the Delaware Bay, where we saw a whale, to Cape May, New Jersey. We spent a night at Utsch’s Marina …
It’s been over two years that we’ve been living aboard Floating Home. We’ve blogged about it, shared pictures & Insta-Stories on Instagram, and posted on Facebook. Now you can follow us on YouTube! Our channel has been created to show how we make living full-time on a boat work for us. We’ll show how we …
There are so many things to be grateful for. For instance, having that ‘nature call’ at 3:30 in the morning. It was 3:30 in the morning as I lazily got out of bed. I thought I smelled something a bit unusual. I began rubbing my tired eyes trying to figure out if they weren’t seeing …
I’m like a kid every time I see a dolphin come up for air! I stop what I am doing and turn my focus to these beautiful creatures. The biggest smile comes across my face as I wait for their smooth, silvery bodies come to the surface for another breath. One afternoon, while in New …
Have we found the town where we’d like to settle down? Did you ever dream of a perfect town where you’d like to live? The main crossroads near the place we’d called home for over 30 years had grown from 2 lanes to 6 lanes. Big box stores and subdivisions were popping up all around …

If you know us then you probably know our dog, Blue, too. He’s an 11 and a half-year-old 90-pound black lab mix, part black bear, part teddy bear. On April 2, 2015, we sadly had to say goodbye to our dog, Toby, a Beagle Bassett. We thought life would be easier without having to deal …

Here we are in the hot Maryland August sun. Our plan was to head back up to New England for at least part of the summer, but somehow, we were led to stay right here on the Chesapeake Bay this summer. After a full year of living full time on the boat, including a trip …
What we hope to hear when spending time on our floating home are the sounds of silence. Or perhaps, water lapping against the hull or maybe birds singing in the early morning hours. April 14, 2017 was the first night we spent on our floating home. The beginning of a new journey, a new chapter …
The chart books have been dusted off. Weather is being closely watched. Provisioning has begun. It is time for Floating Home to float back north to her home port! In the 3 months that we’ve stayed at The Marina at Ortega Landing, we have taken Floating Home out for a cruise only 3 or 4 …
