If anything’s gonna happen, it’s gonna happen out there!
While planning our route for this upcoming trip, we are considering Shark River Island in the Everglades National Park as a likely overnight anchorage on our way down to the Keys. Imagine, if you will, cruising through a place so remote and wild that even cell phone signals fear to tread. Picture yourself navigating through…

Greetings from our frozen northern exile! The countdown to our Florida escape is on, and we could not be more excited to swap snow boots for boat shoes.

Had a very curious and furry little helper this afternoon while plotting the course for the next leg of our sailing journey: Benny—Jenny and Gabe’s kitten who came visiting us over the holidays—took his role as my assistant very seriously.
