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.

The Great Loop: What’s Next for Technomadia
It was around 10 years ago that Chris and I were chatting online in the weeks leading up to our first in-person meeting on October 18th, 2006.
