Until the Sand Runs Out

February 28, 2022 by Chris

After 20 of the most uncomfortable travel hours I may have ever encountered, the bus squealed to a halt under a concrete mezzanine. Masked passengers shuffled, single file. A crisp, pre-dawn air replaced the barnyard atmosphere and, within minutes, I found myself rummaging through bags of luggage in search of my buried bike. Panic rose as I envisioned bent handlebars, … [Read more...]

Sometimes You Have to Disconnect to Reconnect

October 13, 2018 by Chris

We've all done it at one time or another, ignored something that we knew was going to be a source of stress or discomfort. No, it's not the most adult way to handle it I agree, but it happens and I'm guilty. I've been ignoring my blog. This blog.

How to sleep (like a boss) in an airport

August 19, 2018 by Chris

Today is the biggest election in Mexican history and people are buzzing in our little hamlet of San Felipe del Agua. The music spilling from tiendas competes with the church bells, and kids storm the school playground while their parents wait in line to cast their votes. It's very cool to … [Read more...]

Isla Mujeres: The Island of Women

Isla Mujeres, the Island of Women

Our offering to Neptune worked. He must be a Havana Club rum fan because our exit from Cuba and the transit across the Yucatan channel was uneventful. We were now on our way to Isla Mujeres, a place we'd been wanting to sail to for a long time. After fueling up, checking out and topping off our water tanks, we left the dock at Cabo San Antonio around 2pm. At approximately … [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.)
