Schedules, Plans and Perspective

Our Floating Home 2 Comments

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, that might get us into Rhode Island, where we’ll spend the summer, this weekend.

Last night as I was grimacing, Stephanie says, “We’re not heading home, we are home, and for the next couple days our home address is Cape May!” I am a lucky man! 😊 #Blessed #Perspective

My love of water started very early as my grandparents had a small cottage on a lake. My grandfather had the first motorboat – a 14’ Crestliner with a 40 HP Johnson. Later in my teens my dad bought a 21’ bowrider when we lived on the coast of Massachusetts. When Stephanie and I got married, I told her I wanted us to have a boat and instead we started having kids! Thirty-four years later, our four kids have grown and moved on and we bought a 30’ Sea Ray Sundancer. We totally fell in love with the boating lifestyle. Three years later, as Stephanie was wrapping up her 30 year career in early childhood education, she came home one day and suggested that we go on a big adventure. A couple days later she had the idea to live on a boat! I instantly said “yes!” I am fortunate to be able to run my coaching business from the boat and we’re having the time of our lives.
