We’ve now been back to the US Mainland for about a week, after our 5 months in the US Virgin Islands. There has been some element of culture shock for us, and definitely things we’re missing about island life. Namely the pace of life and crunchy grouper sandwiches! The biggest thing that stands out is […]

Serendipity Says: Light Speed Ahead (Imminent Homelessness)
Its no secret that we’ve been pondering “what’s next” for a while now, particularly since we’ve returned from the Virgin Islands. Sailboat? Not yet. International adventures? Yes, we want more extended jaunts to exotic places. But we want to keep some sort of (mobile) base in the US to return to, so that we can […]
Re-Calculating
The new-to-us GPS unit we recently purchased from my father instructs us to turn left. We ignore her, and turn right instead… our way seems more scenic. ‘Re-calculating‘ she proclaims. She comes back with instructions to get us back on her previously researched route. We’re obstinate. We ignore her and continue on the route that calls […]

Our Month Still – Melbourne, FL
Wow.. where did the month go? It seems like we just pulled in to Melbourne, Florida for our long anticipated still time. Oh wait, I remember – we’ve been keeping busy!

Extreme Rough Break (why our posts may be infrequent)
Following serendipity at every turn is an interesting game we’ve been playing for the past several years. It’s not about taking every opportunity that comes up, but rather creating a life that allows us to both be in tune with the possibilities, and being agile enough to follow the ones we choose. Every so often […]
