Ah, the Dream. The dream that comes true when you put your heart and soul into it. The dream that is shared with others in story and photos. The dream that others respond, 'you are living the dream'. Ah yes ... the dream. But are there dreams that come true without some sweat and tears? … Continue reading Our Boat Project LIST(s)
Pick a Color. Any Color.
It's a chilly morning here at Tomahawk Bay Marina. As my mother-in-law would say, 'there's frost on the pumpkins'. There is also ice on the water, I will add. For the first time since December 2017 when we moved into the marine, about 50% of the fairways and slips are covered with ice. It's pretty … Continue reading Pick a Color. Any Color.
Plans to make a Dream Come True
This post was inspired after reading The Boat Galley's post about making your dreams come true.

Regardless of the size of your dream, like … Continue reading Plans to make a Dream Come True
The Art of Boat Shopping

Found her … Continue reading Reason to Believe

We are familiar with apple crisps so it wouldn't be novel to have a photo but I felt it would be enticing to see the juicy yummy dessert. Anyhoo, it's super easy to make any time.

Sailing into It
I am often asked how I came into sailing. And I often give a brief answer that is often received with an 'Ah'. I reply that I married into a sailing family. That reply reflects that I am sailing by default. And that is how I believed it to be up until a couple of year … Continue reading Sailing into It
