We’ve finally worked through making all of the detailed posts about why we picked the boat that we did, and shopping for and buying it – and we can finally get to the REASON we bought a boat: Cruising The Great Loop! We honestly didn’t think we’d be ready to start cruising so soon – after just six […]

Happy Hurricane Season: Our Florida Boating “Plans”
Today, June 1, marks the beginning of the Atlantic Hurricane Season. It’ll run until November 30, and it’s predicted to be an active one. And yup, we just bought a boat in Florida. The way we see it, aside from rushing our cruising up the east coast to say … upstate New York, there’s no […]
Selecting our Great Loop Boat: How We Ended Up With A Bayliner 4788 Motor Yacht
Last October we shared in depth what we thought we were looking for in a Great Loop boat: Great Loop Boat Hunting — Chasing our Dreamboat As a recap, here were some of the things that we mentioned that we were seeking: “As for boat length — 40’ seems to be our sweet spot, +/- 5 feet.” […]
Boat vs RV – First Impressions of Living Aboard a Boat & Differences from RV Living
We’ve now been living aboard our boat Y-Not for 2 months, and it seems like a good time to share some of our initial thoughts on the lifestyle differences from our RV-life. This is by no means a competition between RV and boat life – we absolutely love RVing, and look forward to moving back aboard […]
10 Years as a Technomad – Thoughts on How the Nomadic Community Has Changed
Today is my tenth nomadiversary. If you had asked me 10 years ago what I’d be doing now, a decade later, I can pretty much guarantee you I wouldn’t have said that I’d be ‘still on the road’. Quite honestly, I really thought this nomadic phase would have been long done and fulfilled by now, perhaps […]
Shifts in our Social Media Focus
Chris and I have been online interacting socially since before the internet was called the internet. It’s part of who we are, and being online forms a vibrant part of our social lives. But we have to admit, some days, we feel a little spread thin trying to keep up with all the places we […]
Shopping for and Buying Our Boat
The buying process of a boat and an RV are similar, but yet very different. Buying an RV is closer to the process of buying a vehicle, whereas a boat (at least a cruising style boat) is closer to a house. A while back we shared our tips & tricks for shopping for both boats […]
Our First Month Aboard our Boat – Burnt Store Marina, Florida
Does it ever feel like time is just floating by us ever more swiftly?? It’s hard to believe it’s been just over a month since we moved aboard Y-Not. We usually take a couple months a year in one spot to rest up, recharge and attend to life. Constantly planning, moving and acclimating to a new […]
Re-Introducing ‘Coverage?’ – Carrier’s Coverage Maps in Your Pocket, Now Available for Android Too!
Nearly 7-years ago in the middle of a crazy cross-country repositioning, we prepaid for a campsite in a beautiful location surrounded by wild flowers in Colorado for 3 days. We had great signal on our cellular devices and decided to plop down and get some work done. A few hours later, our carriers started sending us […]
We Tied the Y-Not!
On Monday evening at sunset, aboard our new vessel Y-Not, we made our relationship partnership legal to the state of Florida. It was a small intimate zany marriage license signing event (some might call it a ‘wedding’) with just our parents and a local notary. My father, who passed four years ago today, I know was […]
