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 […]

Leaving Sanford and Cruising Down the St. Johns River
Whew.. lots of recent excitement over adding the Travato to our nomadic fleet this month. But we still have lots of cruising travel stuff to catch you up on to get us to Georgia! So lets do the time warp back to March… Last we left you, we were fighting midges in our beloved Sanford. So […]
Travato Video Tour & Naming our New Camper Van
We’ve been enjoying visiting a local regional park here in Brunswick for some shake-down camping trips in the new Travato. As amazing as our every day life is living on the water or in our RV – it’s still good to break it up. We’ve found getting out in the van feels more like a […]
Introducing our New (to us) 2016 Winnebago Travato 59G Class-B Conversion Van
