We originally intended to pursue the Loop over 2-3 years, taking it quite slowly. When it gets too cold to boat, we’d put the boat in storage and return to our RV-home waiting for us in the warmth of the south. Reality has been – we just love living aboard & cruising in our boat, […]

Boat Generator Upgrade: Replacing a Westerbeke 12.5 KW with a Northern Lights 6 KW in a Bayliner 4788
Our Bayliner 4788 came originally equipped with a hefty Westerbeke 12.5KW diesel generator. Like most stock boat and RV generators – it was sized so that absolutely everything on board could be turned on at once, giving people a “just like home” electrical experience. This means that you could crank up all three air conditioners, […]
Ft. Pierce to Melbourne with Mom Aboard!
We ended up staying in Ft. Pierce just shy of 2 months to complete our projects. While we loved the city, we were itching to move on the moment the carpenter turned his last screw. Continuing to wait for that moment however was becoming a bit of a struggle, as we had other logistics to […]
We Bought a House…. !! Our Long Term RVing Plans at SKP Saguaro Co-Op in Benson, AZ
Ok.. well, not technically. First, we didn’t buy property. We purchased a lifetime lease. Next, it’s not really a ‘house’ but an RV lot with a casita. But still, we’re super excited to have finally reached this milestone that has been in the works for over two years and all part of our long term […]
Back in Marathon Post-Irma: Re-United with Y-Not
Two weeks ago today Irma’s eyewall passed just a mere couple miles from Y-Not’s location in Marathon, striking as a full force Category 4 hurricane. From the safety of our bus parked nearly a 1000 miles away in Summerdale, AL – we watched on our security camera until cellular service went out in the early […]
”By All Rights, That Engine Should Start” – Suzuki DF15A Outboard & Customer Service Failure
Our first stop after leaving Jacksonville to cruise up the St. Johns River was Doctors Lake – only 12 nautical miles up stream. We figured this would be a good short first hop to get back into the groove of living on the water, and we had heard that you could dinghy ashore at Whitey’s […]
Getting Ready to Get Back on the Road (and The Mobile Internet Handbook Launch!)
For the past couple of weeks we’ve been in transition from our boating season back to returning to the bus for a bit. After the holidays with family we actually brought our Mini Cooper back to Miami to make this next phase a lot easier. Before leaving the area, we arranged some social visits with […]
Two Months in Ft. Pierce, Florida – Causeway Cove Marina, Tackling Boat Projects & Enjoying ‘City Life’
When we pulled into Ft. Pierce in early April for the MTOA Rendezvous, we were only thinking we might stick around a few weeks. But then boat projects were taken on, and at that point you might as well let go of a concept of schedule. Despite a lot of project chaos during our stay, […]
Leaving Miami and Resuming our Great Loop Cruising Season for 2018!
Now that our winter RVing season has come to a close and our bus is safely in storage in Texas – it’s time to get back to cruising! Our MINI Roadtrip took us back to Miami where we had left Y-Not after 5 weeks living on the hard to attend to damages from the submerged […]
Leaving Miami in the Rear View – Heading North up the ICW!
It feels so fricken good to be back to our cruising lifestyle! Leaving Miami was a huge milestone for us after 5 weeks ‘living on the hard’ then juggling storing the boat while we pursued our RV trip to Texas. We passed our sea trial with flying colors, and then just like that – we […]
