It's been three days since we left the docks in Portland. We are held up in Astoria due to prevailing coastal weather. Our next window looks to be Saturday. In the meantime, we visited a few of our favorite breweries, got many naps in, and completed a couple of boat jobs; including making a Lee … Continue reading Surreal

Departure Day is Finally Here!
Happy Monday Everyone. Well, our day to get underway has finally arrived. We're equal parts nervous, excited, and grateful. Nervous, because well, the big thing we've worked so hard for over the last several days, months, weeks, and years is becoming a reality. Excited for the same reasons. We're also really grateful - all the … Continue reading Departure Day is Finally Here!

Tomorrow
The day has arrived where we reflect on the years, months, weeks, and hours that we dedicated our focus to make tomorrow happen. Tomorrow we push off to start our new adventure that has awaited us.

Just Two Weeks Left
And a new Log Book to begin logging our journey. Our first entry will be either May 20th or 21st. It's surreal to think that after living in this marina for 17 months, and Portland for 18 years, we will be parting ways by boat. Log Book - Volume 1

We did well with the Spinnaker Pole guys remaining. Give me a fist bump. Boom In April, our list included … Continue reading Where are we on our Project List?
Our Boat Project LIST(s)
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. I was moved when I read how she would ask her grandkids “What have you done TODAY to make your dreams come true?” Such a lovely and inspiring question to ponder on. Regardless of the size of your dream, like … Continue reading Plans to make a Dream Come True
The Art of Boat Shopping
I want to start this off to share that we are not experts at shopping for used boats. We are also not brokers, nor looking to make any money selling boats. We are merely interested in writing a little blurb on our experience, sharing what we learned with hopes to pass on a little tidbit. … Continue reading The Art of Boat Shopping
