Getting Started

Welcome aboard our nautical adventure! Before we set sail together, let’s get you familiar with our crew and the boat that is making all this possible, and show you the ropes for navigating our little corner of the Web.

Start Here—Get to Know Us: To dive right in, click on one of the subtopics under the ‘Our Story’ menu item in the navigation menu atop. You will find two sections to get you started: Under ‘The Crew‘, you will meet the happy crew steering this voyage and how they got into sailing. ‘The Boat‘ offers a closer look at Koko, our trusty vessel, which is much more than just a boat to us—she is our home on the water and companion on our adventures.

Binge Reading and Catching Up: Once we have introduced ourselves to you, consider binge reading our blog from the very beginning (‘Blog’→’From the Beginning’). This will help you catch up on what has happened so far. It is like opening a treasure chest of memories—full of ups and downs, and everything in between.

Dive into Our Blog: For near-real-time updates, head over to the ‘Latest Happenings‘ section under the ‘Blog’ menu item atop (‘Blog’→’Latest Happenings’). Here, we share our most recent thoughts and adventures, the highs and lows, and the many moments that make our journey special. It is the perfect way to stay connected with us as we navigate through new waters. This section is in reverse chronological order, meaning the latest blog post comes first.

Follow Us in Real-Time: To stay current with our latest escapades, check out the ‘Where’s Koko‘ section. This real-time map allows you to follow our movements and see exactly where we are in the world. It is like being our virtual shipmate! [For now, this section is only visible and accessible to family and closest friends.]

Got Questions? We’ve Got Answers! If you have a burning question or simply do not feel like sifting through all the blog posts, just click on ‘Ask A Question.’ Our sometimes hilarious AI helper will spring into action to provide the answers you need. Or not. Think of it as having your own personal assistant on board who sometimes gets a little off the rails! [For now, this section is only visible and accessible to family and closest friends.]

Dive Deeper with Additional Resources: Once you are hooked on our seafaring tales, do not forget to check out our ‘Resources‘ section. We have curated links that we often use ourselves for inspiration, advice, and entertainment.

Feel free to explore, ask questions, and don’t forget to drop us comment. Happy sailing! ⛵✨
