Filling in the blanks

Every once in a while, I go back and read through some of my old posts to make sure I'm not repeating myself or rehashing the same old stuff. You know, like those GQ or Cosmo pieces that come out every year; 10 Secrets to Rock-Hard Abs or The Art of Getting It On. Actually, I should take a cue from them and recycle my own articles on sex and rock-hard abs. Here's the thing, … [Read more...]

We tried. We really did

At this point, Melody and I should know if we utter the phrase let's just rent an apartment for a while and regroup, things are about to get hairy. We said it when we sold the boat in Guatemala (2017). Our little band of nomads ended up meandering through Central America and Mexico for nearly two-years. We dared to say it again upon our return to the states in January and now, … [Read more...]

And just like that, Christmas and Hanukkah 2018 are in the rearview. Kwanzaa celebrations end on January 1. I hope you all made it through okay. This time of year can be difficult for some folks and we still have New Years Eve to contend with. Don't get me wrong, I love the holidays. We've changed the way we interact with them and its worked wonderfully. When we lived … [Read more...]

ABOUT US

CHRIS: Singer/Songwriter and author from Philly, (and also the author of this blog), transplanted to Nashville, took a break from the music biz and somehow convinced his girlfriend (now wife) to live on a boat and began writing books. You can check out his music on iTunes or his books on Amazon.

MELODY: Thought her husband was crazy for wanting to live on a boat, but never one to shy away from an adventure, decided to play along and fell in love with cruising. She blogs about how to make money while cruising at Saving to Sail and helps solopreneurs build 6-figure digital product businesses at Soloprenista.

JET: Dutch Shepherd rescue who traveled more miles in his 14 years than most people do in a lifetime. Refuses to vacuum his own hair and instead insists on shrimp tails and belly rubs. (Update: Jet crossed the Rainbow Bridge on Sunday, May 23, 2021 but will always be our favorite crew member and is dearly missed.)
