One of the reasons we decided to stick around Ft. Myers for another month is family. Chris’ dad had open heart surgery a few weeks ago, and we’ve been on pins & needles during his recovery. We wanted to be near a major airport in a safe place, just in case. His family was also planning […]
Life on the Road
Wrapping Up Ft. Myers, Day Cruises and Travel Update
It’s so hard to believe that we’re now approaching 3 months in Fort Myers! This is just a quick post to bring you up to date. Ft. Myers Never would we have imagined that Ft. Myers would be a spot to captivate us. It was never really on our radar as a happening place. But it […]
Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems (TPMS) for RVs – Why the EEZTIRE is Our Choice
We feel a TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System) is an important piece of safety equipment to have for anyone on the road. With these systems, you install pressure monitoring sensors on each air valve of your tires (ideally including your RV tow-behind), and these sensors transmit pressure & temperature information to a central display screen you keep […]
Sometimes Nomads Need to Grow Some Barnacles (Two Months in Fort Myers)
We generally keep a fairly hyper-mobile lifestyle – changing locations every few days to every few weeks. But every so often, we feel the call – to slow the heck down for a bit. By the time we were ramping up our boat hunt last fall, it was shouting loudly in our ears. But stopping would have meant putting […]
Florida Road Trip!! A Week Back in the Bus
After getting the boat moved to Fort Myers on our initial leg of the Great Loop, and a couple weeks to get into the swing of urban life – it was time to return to bus life! Well, at least for a week. Our mission was a combination of getting the bus into its longer […]
Starting the Great Loop – First Adventure: Punta Gorda, FL to Fort Myers, FL
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
