When people dream about cruising, they often forget about the mundane and the chores. The dreams are all focused on days spent at sea, cutting through waves on a perfect reach! Even in paradise, laundry has to get done.
On laundry day, every surface that can hold clothes will hold clothes. We string up dedicated laundry lines through the rigging, and if the boom is available, it will be employed as well!

We spent a month back in Maryland visiting friends and family. We had a great time but we are ready to get back to the boat so that our adventure can continue!

Cruisers are all unique people. We chose to abandon the prescribed life that is the norm and instead opted to live a life rich in adventure! We all gather together from time to time and share stories of past voyages, anchorages, and sights.
We have been cruising for two years with only a vague “destination” in mind. Along the way, we run into other cruisers who give us suggestions and recommendations for everywhere in between.
This BBQ was very German, and it was delicious! Three boats were German and one was French, then there was us from far away America (Since this party was in a marina in Portugal).
We learned of the most delicious sausages, sauerkraut recipes, and good friendships that evening!
Having such open plans let’s us wander around on our way to the next destination and see everything recommended to us along the way!
