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! 
At popular anchorages, there is usually a local VHF net that comes on in the morning, checking to see who’s arrived and who’s departing, inquiring as to whether people need anything, offering local services, and announcing events that might have meaning for the cruising community. The nets also generally ask about “treasures of the bilge” […]

A Day in our Life on the Boat
July 14th, 2010 · 5 Comments · First Mates, Funny, Introspection, Life Lessons, Life on the Boat, Random Thoughts
Most of the time, the things I post on here are just about the places where we’ve been and a few things we did there. It gives a very skewed picture of what our life on the boat is like. I mean to say that our life is really NOT that exciting. I’ll admit, though, […]

The Honeymoon Begins!
February 23rd, 2010 · 2 Comments · Famous Firsts, First Mates, Introspection, Life on the Boat, Our Route, The beginning
Matt and I were married in October and even though we had a fun road-trip from CA to NJ and then had a nice relaxing three days at a beach spa/resort (thanks again Aunt Arlene & Tom!), we didn’t have a “real” honeymoon. Those other get-aways were somewhat negated by the stress and craziness of […]

Define “Crazy”
January 21st, 2010 · 4 Comments · Introspection, On Fear, Preparing for the trip, The beginning
For the first time in weeks, I’m up early – well, up at 8:30 which is much earlier than the 10:00+ routine we’ve been in this month. It’s raining outside and I believe it rained most of the night, and I am cozy in pj pants and Matt’s warm fleece, seated right in front of […]

Updating my resume – a different approach
December 1st, 2009 · No Comments · Introspection, What I'm Reading
I’ve been reading a book called “The Right to Write” by Julia Cameron. It’s a FABULOUS book for those, like me, who have been, can be and are undeniably driven to write. The book is not about writing for money or publishing or fame or anything material – it simply talks about writing for the […]

Change is in the air, and I’m thankful for it!
November 28th, 2009 · No Comments · Introspection, Life Lessons, On Faith, Preparing for the trip, The beginning
Among the thousands of things I have to be thankful for, the one that is standing out a bit more right now is – CHANGE. Of course, most of the time, I only like change when there is a “guaranteed” benefit for me, but I would also say that, in general, I just like it […]
