Bowlines Thrown

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." –Someone who was not Mark Twain

Storage Day

October 22, 2020July 24, 2021 / Wendy / Leave a comment

It was haul out day for the boat. 44 degrees and raining. They loaded her up and drove the scenic way around town to avoid low-hanging wires. That meant going through the Piggly Wiggly parking lot and through a round about. This afternoon, after the storage staff give her a good power wash and put … Continue reading Storage Day

Electric Knife: Not Just for Easter Ham

July 18, 2019July 24, 2021 / Wendy / Leave a comment

Pretty stoked about our new v-berth mattresses. They are (were) twin XL mattresses that I cut to size with Mom's electric knife. The kids are going to be happy that they don't have to sleep on the stinky old mattresses that these will replace. Next up: finding someone who can sew bedding that fits.

An exciting day, for sure! We've been separated from our boat by a great lake for far too long! Today we finally have a weather window to take the ferry over top Ludington, get some training done, and finally get Our Dash home! We took the 2:00 ferry from Ludington. When we arrived in Ludington … Continue reading Reunited!

What a whirlwind! We arrived in Muskegon Monday night, where we stayed in a Fairfield. After arriving around midnight, we were looking forward to a great night's sleep. We got it! We had a busy day ahead of us! Tuesday was Splash Day. It was amazing to watch the marina men move boats around and … Continue reading Our First Splash Day!
