Five years. After five full years of sailing and all that is sailboat-life, and mid way through our final passage of 2024, Kerri approached me with the idea of getting another van in the USA. We both have parents that are nearing an age where we may need to take...
Well, that’s it folks! Almost 10 years to the day that I bought Jonas (aka Big Blue), he was handed off to the new owners at Phoenix International Airport. From there we rented a mini-van (a Dodge too), packed it full of all our belongings, and took off on a...
The latest news on Big Blue’s breakdown isn’t very interesting. It is still broken. Repairs are still ongoing, yet we will be stuck in the repair shop parking lot for another week – at least. I’m not going to continue ranting on about this because that horse has already gone...
Kerri and I are sailing for the summer. If you wish, you can follow our sailing adventures at our sailing blog; Road to the Sea or on our Facebook Page We will return to our van adventures as the weather cools.
Adventuring has taken to the back burner while we complete some chores needed to make the transition to boat-life. A week hanging out with Kerri’s parents in Grass Valley, then a week with my Mother in Washington state, gave us the time to get Kerri’s truck up and running again...
It wasn’t that long ago in my mind, but yesterday was exactly 2500 days (almost 7 years) since I started full-time living on the road (I did 20 months of most-time living on the road prior). I recall Dec 28, 2011 very well; leaving Colorado on my way south to get away...
It’s official – Fall has arrived. The cooler temps have been nice, and the less crowded everything has been a true blessing for us full-time nomads. After spending an night (and morning) exploring the small town of Winthrop, we found ourselves parked down a dirt road. Well off the main...
We left Port Townsend for our second time in a month. Kerri, as usual, had a few pins on a map that we wanted to see, but this time the pins were of a different species than before. Normally we are off to scout, and camp, some random dirt road...
Two years ago Kerri and I planned to spend a serious amount of time exploring the state we both grew up in – California. For me, even though I spent 37 years here, I rarely got out and explore the state. Sure, I drove the Reno or L.A., and I...
We originally wanted to spend the week outside of Virginia City in Nevada and take the Interstate over the Sierra’s when the time came to make that jump, but Virginia City just did not suit us. Instead we decided to keep heading North on Highway 395 and go see more...
