Today marks seventeen years since I first set off on the road, leaving behind a conventional life in Silicon Valley for a life of adventure and exploration. It’s hard to believe that it has been that long, and that I have seen and done so much in these years. But this past year has been […]

Mobile Internet Setup Tour, RVillage End of an Era, Sanfording & General Update
Wow. I just looked at our last post, and it was just over two months ago. Oops. The lack of posting certainly doesn’t convey the abundance of activity in our lives. So the good news is the reason for our absence is simply because we’re having way too much fun. So first, let’s get […]
Finding Campgrounds & RV Camping with Nearby Biking Trails
Ever since we got our eBikes, we have made it a mission to seek out great biking trails. But not just any biking trail, we really love trails that are easily accessible – right from where we are staying in our van, bus or boat. We do still frequently seek out cool trails and trailheads to break up […]
2022 Travel Route & Year in Review
It’s the end of another year, and a time to reflect back before moving on. This annual tradition of posts has become part of the fun of sharing. 2022 wraps up 16 years on the road for us together! In many ways, our 2022 travels mimics much of our approach in 2021. We kept a […]

Turning 50 & Running the Space Coast Marathon
As I realized my fifties were getting nearer, a thought occasionally crossed my mind – was it possible that I could turn 50 and be in the best physical shape of my life? That theoretically was not too much of a stretch. I had always been way more of a geek than an athlete, and […]
Here We Go Again – Hello Tropical Storm / Hurricane Nicole
The last couple of weeks, we have finally gotten back to some semblance of normal here in Sanford after Hurricane Ian. The flood waters have been steadily but slowly receding, power was restored, water is back on and the marina has been able to resume pump out service. We’ve been enjoying ample Sanfording – with […]
Flooding Prioritizes Boat Electrical Upgrades – New Inverters for more Solar Efficiency
Our last post was on October 6 – just as we passed a previous record flood level from 1953 here at the waterfront in Downtown Sanford Lake Monroe ended up cresting at 8.96′ above normal on October 9th, and the waters have been slowly receding since then. We’ve been living in flood conditions for 20 days […]
Hurricane Ian’s Aftermath – Record Flooding at the Downtown Sanford Marina & the St. Johns River
Just a few short days ago, I ended our Hurricane Ian experience on a positive note with only slight mention of water rising here at the Downtown Sanford Marina where we are aboard our boat. Oh, how I’d love to rewind to those innocent days where a little water on the streets was all there […]
Hurricane Ian Report from Sanford (We’re Ok!)
Thank you for all the support and thoughts during Hurricane Ian. We’ve been busy undoing our storm preps and catching up on sleep, but thought we’d take a moment to check in. Quick answer.. everything is a-OK aboard Y-Not. She’s a champ. And so is her crew. We ended up riding out the storm aboard, […]
