Por Que No - Antigua Guatemala

I grew up in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the youngest of five children born to Italian parents. It’s 1975.

I’m a nine-year-old with crud under my nails, ripped Toughskins, and a foul mouth. Things move slower. … [Read more...]

Getting tipsy in Brunswick

Okay… so my blog on the misunderstood Philadelphia football fans went over like a lead balloon. The one on hurricane preparation had as much staying power as tropical storm Erika. I get it. Stick to what I know and don't stray from the box… that's what you're telling me right?

November 22, 2012 by Melody

Well we certainly have so so much to be thankful for, being on this adventure together, surrounded by love and support from such awesome friends and family.

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.)
