Christmas in the Islands

This is all that this captain has ever wanted. No crabby today! 🌴🌲😍😍😍🌴🌲🤗😁😀


Swimming with Sharks, Turtles and Rays

What a great day of swimming with sea turtles, stingrays, and nurse, bull and lemon sharks!  We had wanted to take a dive trip with Brendal’s Dive Center but the seas were way to rough to try to go on the outside.  But the snorkeling trip was better than weRead More …


Making the jump to the Bahamas

Crossing the Gulfstream from Lake Worth, FL to the Little Bahama bank at Memory Rock in our Beneteau 40 sailboat


LAST DAY IN THE USA – BAHAMA BOUND!

Last day in the USA – BAHAMA BOUND! We set to cross the Gulf Stream early in the morning.  Bahamas here he come!


We live in a crazy bubble

Sometimes the higher power puts you where you’re supposed to be.   Sometimes you’re just plain lucky.   Sometimes you have to make things happen by sheer force.   And sometimes you need all three.   The next sequence of events is so bizarre that it is incredulous even toRead More …


So thankful for the best things about boatlife

There are many things that we love about the boating community: the camaraderie, eagerness to help others, and the friendliness.  But the best part is the open arms we encounter each time we pull into a new port.  We meet so many people that within a few hours become lifelongRead More …


Aerial Silk Routine

One of our fans made a special request that I could not deny.  I hope you enjoy. Happy Holidays! Cara


Aerial silk at Morgan Island


We Found Hemingways!

Many people have told us that Beaufort South Carolina was a beautiful city hence the name Beau…..-tiful, and it truly is! We have stopped at the downtown Marina of Beaufort for a few days. We need to get our alternator for our Yanmar engine repaired and what a cool placeRead More …


Heading South ICW Travel Day 1

It is time to start our trek south towards the Bahamas and Caribbean.  We decided to make the first leg of our journey in the ICW from Charleston to Beauford so as to make our voyage a bit easier.  I image it was easier than being on the “outside” butRead More …

The Kindred Spirits Mailbox

…. is truly one of the most unexpectedly magical places I have ever been. The Kindred Spirits mailbox is a real mailbox, with a flag and old wooden post, that is positioned on an Atlantic beach, seemingly in the middle of nowhere.  This simple box, located on Bird Island, holdsRead More …

The Worst Feeling Is When Your Boat Is Taking On Water

The worst feeling in the world is your boat taking on water I used to think that the worst feeling in the world was running aground.  And every sailor has done so.  I have always heard that if a sailor says he never has, he’s lying. I remember once, whenRead More …


Sailing the Atlantic

A beautiful day of sailing on the SV Music. It is a blessed world we live in and I’m happy to be able to experience it today. We were enjoying the Atlantic off the coast of North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Namaste.

I love the world upside down

Doing a little flying today.  I love the world when I am upside down, it is really a cool view.  Maybe sometime I should strap a GoPro to my head so you can all see what fun it is!


Wow Shark Tagging on the Beach Ep Six

When we spent some time in the beautiful town of Charleston, SC, we were lucky enough to happen across an amazing event, SHARK TAGGING! After a great birthday dinner at The Obstinate Daughter, we made our way down to watch the sun set near the Fort Moultrie point on Sullivan’sRead More …


Climb, Twist, and Fall Gracefully

My favorite exercise while on a boat is definitely Aerial Silks.  The sturdy yet soft fabric is limitless in what you can do while seeing the world from above.  And hopefully,  one looks graceful while doing it!  Click this link to see more and maybe you can join in theRead More …


Ep. Four -How to pack with limited space

  How does a woman separate from her beautiful shoes?  How does a chick plan her wardrobe for the next year?  How can I fit it all on a 40 foot sailboat? Minimize.  Plan. And Minimize some more. Pack smartly. Hang high. And Label everything!      


Last Days In Louisiana

There are so many things that we love about Louisiana. But at the top of the list is the fine people that are there. We were blessed to have some amazing boiled crawfish right before we left to go to our new boat. And there is nothing that this SunnyRead More …


Ep Three-Ever sailed in Pea soup?

Ever sailed in any kind of liquid food?   Well it’s not fun.  Not at all.  But it had to be done as its time to take this beautiful wench to the boat yard to have a survey done on her (and we mean the boat, not the wife).  We decidedRead More …


Ep Two – Saving a life on your boat is good karma

Saving life of someone the first time you take out your boat is good karma, don’t ya think?! We certainly do and hope that we have “paid it forward” in the best of ways. The day of our sea trial  was a beautiful March day: the sun was out, the weatherRead More …
