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 […]

Anchoring Out vs RV Boondocking – Similarities and Differences
As boating newbies with over a decade of RVing experience, we’re soaking up the new adventure and learning. In our upcoming travelogues, we’ll be sharing about our latest extended run at anchoring out as we cruised down through the Everglades. Anchoring out is the boating equivalent of RV boondocking – or being off-grid and self […]
Giving Thanks
Today we focus on the many things we have to be thankful for this year. As we embark on our 10th holiday season on the road, we reflect upon the many places our wheels have found us in the past. From the deserts of the southwest, the islands of the Caribbean, the middle of Kansas […]
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 […]
Crappy RV or Boat Mattress?? Tips for a Great Night’s Sleep!
Our RV and our boat are our homes, where we lay our heads down to sleep every night. But so many come with, shall we say, crappy mattresses. Meant more for weekend excursions than everyday living. But you don’t have to put up with it. There’s nothing that says you have to sacrifice a good […]
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 […]
Preparing a Boat for a Catastrophic Hurricane – Hurricane Irma in the Florida Keys (And Happy end of Hurricane Season!)
First of all… a big ole WAHOOOOO for it being December 1st! The 2017 Hurricane season is officially over. And while the season is over, many are still dealing with the fallout of the major storms that made landfall. Power is still not returned to the majority of the islands impacted, people are still homeless […]
There’s Nothing Rotten About Groton
First.. thank you. Your outpouring of support for our upcoming new adventure totally blew us away. It’s always a touch scary approaching a new chapter, and announcing it is a big step. In the past, we’ve gotten mixed reactions to what seemed like departures from our course. Perhaps this led to over-explaining our decision which helped pre-empt […]
A Dam Fine View at W.P. Franklin Campground – Alva, Florida
Next stop would have us venturing into southwestern Florida to attend Looper-palooza – a convergence of those at various stages of exploring The Great Loop. The event was in Fort Myers, and we anticipated finding last minute camping would be a challenge. However a quick call to the local Elks Club confirmed we’d have an easy […]
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. During those increasingly deep initial conversations, we were coming to realize that we were attracted to each other for many reasons – and an unquenchable thirst for travel was high amongst […]
