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! 
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 […]
