Flexibility Equals Happiness
Does flexibility really equal happiness? We had a plan. It was good plan. We know plans change, and we knew ours wouldn’t be immune to that change. But we didn’t expect it to happen like this. Plan – Bahamas from March – May 2021. June 2021 pull into Just Catamarans in Ft. Lauderdale for some Read More
Tuna Tar Tar
We aren’t skilled fishermen, by any means. But we think we’ve done all right so far. Here is our 4th fish ever, a 24″ black fin tuna. A few weeks ago, something really big grabbed our line. We think we caught a Mahi and a great white shark took it, along with 90% of our Read More
Time to Become a Diesel Mechanic
Your engine won’t start. What do you do? Call a mechanic, unless you happen to be one. Or, if you’ve taken a diesel mechanics course, try and find your notes. Over the last year, this has happened to us a few times. We get ready to sail for the day or a weekend, and the Read More
It Always Happens at Night
Ahhh, paradise. That’s what it is in the Bahamas. Paradise. White sandy beaches, crystal clear water, cool gentle breezes, and lots of rum. We’d heard about this little beach off of Prime Cay.

The Truth Behind the Surprise

An unexpected marriage proposal, the promotion you thought for sure was going to your coworker, the fact that you actually like chopped liver, all good surprises – relatively speaking. But sometimes, something awesome happens, and you didn’t capture it on camera. It was the perfect moment, the perfect shot, Read More
Wall Art
There are some scenes in life that simply take your breath away. A new born baby, your daughter in her wedding dress, your son’s smile when he lays eyes on the new guitar you bought him, things like that. Then there’s incredible scenery. Majestic snow capped mountains, a rainforest at sunrise, or the amazing shades Read More
Mahi! Mahi! Mahi!
Fishing if FUN! Well, the actual act of trolling isn’t really a big deal. You throw out a few lines while you’re sailing or motoring and hope for the best. And when you least expect it, you hear that long-awaited clicking of the reel spooling out the line. Your mind jumps with excitement. What to Read More
