Oh boy, have I fallen behind on keeping the blog updated with our cross country van trip towards EclipseFest23 in Oregon. Last we left you, we had just settled into St. Louis for some time with family after our drive from Florida. That seems like a lifetime ago at this point! I suppose that’s the […]
Life on the Road
On the Road Again: Sanford to St. Louis Van Trip
With the heat index staying in triple digits numbers in Florida, we decided to move up our departure from Sanford a bit and start heading north sooner rather than later. So on August 24th, after a week of prepping the van for a big road trip across country, and getting Y-Not secured for peak hurricane […]
Our Fall/Winter 2023 Van Trip Plans: Oregon for EclipseFest23 and Arizona!
It’s hard to believe we’ve been back in Sanford nearly a month now, it’s gone by so quickly! We’ve certainly been keeping busy with lots of live theater shows, time with friends & family, celebrating my 50th birthday and keeping our running & biking up. All of this despite some record breaking days with excessive […]
Back to Sanford: Cruising Southbound on the St. Johns River & Exploring New to Us Anchorages (Crescent Lake, Mud Creek Cove)
Our final project at Lamb’s Yacht Center was replacing our front deck hatches. Our original Bomar hatches were now over 20 years old and had several parts failing, and they needed to be re-bedded to fix a leak that had developed. We opted for replacing them instead of trying to rebuild – as it would […]
Escape from Boat Projects – Cruising St. Augustine, Cumberland Island, St. Marys & Fernandina Beach
When last we left you, we had just arrived back to Jacksonville after about a month out adventuring in the van. Y-Not had just been splashed after a bottom job and other projects that she needed to be hauled out for, and we had a project list ahead of us. We’ll catch you up on […]
A Month Meandering Around Florida in the Van
With Y-Not hauled out in Jacksonville for routine maintenance items (bottom paint, thru-hulls, anodes, etc) – we loaded up Blooper for some van adventures. We had anticipated that we’d only need to fill in a couple of weeks, but Lamb’s has been backed up and didn’t inspect our thru-hulls immediately. It was determined that a […]
Cruising to Jacksonville from Sanford Along the St. Johns River
We intended to depart Sanford sometime back in late January, head up to Jacksonville for some boat projects and then potentially head out on the Great Loop. But, life had other plans and we just weren’t feeling the call to leave Sanford quite yet. Winter is prime activity time in Sanford, with non-stop events that […]
Seventeenth Nomadiversary: Feeling Like An Artificial Technomad
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 […]
