Under Pressure
Living the easy life is turning out to be pretty hard. Sort of ironic, right? This whole situation is getting kind of stressful. Between trying to downsize our lifestyle, rent our house, and get everything with this boat situated, there have been many a tense...
What a Difference a Day Makes
Do you ever think that everything happens for a reason? We’re big believers in this. After brushing off the disappointment of having a less than stellar survey on the last boat, the search was back on this weekend! We cancelled our plans to go camping (the weather was...

The Times, They are A-Changing
Well, we’ve made some big moves recently to go from the suburbs to the sailing part of life. We’ve decided to rent our house and to move into a small studio apartment in Annapolis while we continue to look for a catamaran. We’ve seen a few boats we were really...
