We left San Francisco on February 10, 2010 with a plan to head south to Mexico and then make the innocently named "puddle jump" to the South Pacific (!!) this spring. From there, who knows?!?!?!? Maybe Fiji? Australia? New Zealand? For now, we're just thrilled to finally be out at sea! 
* It was pretty stormy here the last couple of nights. Well, as stormy as the bay area can get seeing as how there’s never any lightning or thunder or crazy wicked thunderheads… so by “stormy” I mean windier than normal with a little bit of rain. Anyway, it was our first time sleeping in […]

BOAT TOUR!
January 11th, 2010 · 9 Comments · Boat Work, First Mates, Life on the Boat, Preparing for the trip, The beginning
I know it’s hard for most people to imagine how we live in such a *ridiculously* small place. I just measured the boat (i.e. I asked Matt) and our living space is effectively 30 feet long by 12.5 feet wide. Yeah – it’s small. I know that tonight probably isn’t the best time to take […]

Weak Knees :(

Every once in a while someone will make a comment about how relaxing our lives must be now that we’re going into a period of not working and just “hanging out” on the boat. Yeah, wouldn’t THAT be nice. We’ve suspected for a while that there was a major structural repair needed on the boat, […]

Some feminine touches for the boat
December 7th, 2009 · No Comments · Boat Work, Preparing for the trip
Matt is out of town for work and so boat projects have come to a grinding halt. The projects these days now involve stuff that really only Matt can take care of – electrical wiring, etc. So, in an effort to pretty up Syzygy and make her a bit more comfy and cozy for us, […]

Domestic Goddess In-Training & Certified Boat Slave
November 15th, 2009 · 1 Comment · Boat Work
Hmmm… if I had to pick one, I think Domestic Goddess is more my kind of gig. Granted, the only thing I’m really any good at is cooking and I think Matt might also prefer me to focus more on skills like doing the dishes or sweeping the floor than my half-hearted attempts at knitting, […]

Love is in the Hair
September 4th, 2009 · No Comments · Boat Work, First Mates, Our Route, The Crew
These last few days, there’s been love in the hair. Yes, you read that right – love in the hair. Specifically, my hair and Matt’s hair, and the “love” looks and feels very much like paint primer because that’s what it is. What it represents, though, is my willingness to work on the boat and […]

From Lilliput to Brobdingnag
September 2nd, 2009 · No Comments · Boat Work
A few weeks ago, we had a friend in town who was anxious to experience the boat. Not only were we having dinner in the cabin and eating on the recently reconstructed fold-down table, but our friend G would be sleeping on the settee that night, too(!!!) (He was adorably giddy at the thought of […]
