Getting Tipsy In Brunswick

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? Stick to sailing, pretty anchorages, lovely sunsets and the fluff, the circumstance that is "cruising" … [Read more...]

It’s About Time!

Just married! We got hitched on our 9 year anniversary

That's the thing we've (I've) heard most over the last two weeks. In case you're not on our Facebook page (why aren't you?) or personal friends of ours, you might not know that we, got hitched a couple weeks ago. In a very quiet ceremony on a lovely beach, accompanied by a few family members who decided to crash the party, we made it legal. No more "living in sin" for us! And … [Read more...]

Philadelphia Eagles; The REAL America’s Team

July 31, 2015 by Chris

I know what you're thinking, football on a sailing blog? But please, bear with me. Indulge me for a few short minutes. Sailing is after all, a sport and after reading Sports Illustrated's piece announcing Philly fans as the "most hated" in the NFL, I just had to defend my hometown, show some love, and rebut this because it's tired. It's completely unoriginal and cliche by now. … [Read more...]

As I wake, to a clean boat and a cool north east breeze cascading through open hatches I realize I'm craving something. It's Saturday morning. Mel and Jet have been out of town for two long weeks and are on their way home. I… have a free morning. Varnish is done, Laundry is done and I'm outta almond milk. I'm not drinking black coffee today. No, it's time for a con leche and I … [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.)
