Last week, our boat was broken into while in storage ‘on the hard’. We’re currently nearly a 1000 miles away from the boat, traveling by van and staying with family in the St. Louis area. As we were settling in for the evening to watch a cop show (ironically), we got a motion alert on […]
Awesome Possum, Rum and Kazoos – Great Loop Cruising from Savannah to Charleston
Sorry for the time line disruption these past couple of months as we’ve had a few real time updates in between our travelogues. Join us as we jump back to June to get you caught up. You know, that time when it was so hot we wished for cooler temps? And now here I sit […]
Transitioning to Van RV Life from Boat Life: 7 knots to 70 mph
The past couple of months have kept us super busy – between getting the boat in storage to get to my mom in Florida for her surgery, then a hurricane evacuation… then deciding to just transition back to RV life for several months since the boat was already hauled. We love change – that’s part […]
What’s Next for 2019? Van? Boat? Bus?
Oof. It’s been a jam packed crazy past few weeks. Between 2+ weeks heading down to Florida to be with my mom last month. And returning to the boat in Savannah just to prepare and evacuate for Hurricane Dorian. We’ve hardly had a chance to rest and catch up. We waited out Hurricane Dorian’s path […]
Hurricane Dorian Update: Evacuation from Savannah, Georgia
Thanks to all who have been reaching to see if we’re impacted by Hurricane Dorian’s projected path. And, indeed.. we most probably will be. Our blog/video travel series is always a bit behind due to how much effort they take to produce these days. Last we left you, we were arriving to Savannah – but […]
Getting Buzzed along the Georgia Coastline – Cruising the Great Loop
We’re so glad we booked a month long stay in Brunswick, as it gave us ample opportunity to get acquainted with our new camper van that we found waiting for us in the parking lot. We really had no plans this summer – continue heading north? Stay in Brunswick? Store the boat and go RVing? […]
How Do We Afford Full Time Travel by RV and Boat?
Probably one of the most frequent questions we’ve gotten over the years is just how do we afford our lifestyle of constant million dollar views by RV and boat? We’ve gotten this question pretty much from the time we hit the road back in 2006. Assumptions range from we’re trust fund babies, early retirees and […]
First Impressions of our 2016 Winnebago Travato 59G Camper Van
Back in May, we serendipitously purchased a camper van – a 2016 Winnebago Travato 59K we’ve named Coopernicus. Quick recap: We wanted a van to replace our Mini Cooper, which we had towed behind our 1961 vintage bus conversion since 2011 – and now used to hopscotch between marinas during our boating season about our […]
What is the Great Loop? What is the AGLCA?
In late 2016, we announced we were starting our hunt for a boat with the intentions of pursuing the American Great Loop. It’s an adventure we feel is more akin to ‘RVing on Water’ than setting off circumnavigating the world with epic blue water passages (like our buddies Nikki & Jason Wynn are totally rocking!). […]
Back on the Great Loop – FINALLY Leaving Florida! (Or…Wild Horses Couldn’t Drag Our Anchor?)
After a wonderful winter spent on the St. Johns River and in Sanford, we arrived back to Jacksonville so we could bounce over to the RVillage Rally in Live Oak. We returned to The Marina at Ortega Landing (same marina we stayed at back in fall), and came down with ‘conference crud’ that took us […]
