Adapt. Change. Reinvent.

August 15, 2022 by Chris

Hey, y'all! Just a quick update from the Vacilando crew. I know we're not sailing or posting regularly but I still have some serious love for my Vacilando peeps and our time aboard. We met some of our best friends while cruising and treasure those days but, as you well know, life is about change. If there was a silver lining to Covid, it was to remind me that adaptability … [Read more...]

Not gone. Not lost. Just…different

June 6, 2021 by Chris

Where do I even begin? How about with an email from one of our readers. "Chris and Melody, It has been a long, long time since your last blog post. I hope all is well with you both and just wonder if you have any updates to your journey. Your posts are always quite interesting. Thanks, and mucha suerte!" It has indeed been a long, LONG time since my last post. Back in … [Read more...]

Epic Road Trip Part 2: We’re all just one, BIG pop art installation

November 22, 2019 by Chris

We can cover a variety of topics on any given day. How do dolphin sleep? What kind of bird is that? What animal gives you gray meat? (In reference to Krystal Hamburgers). And since we're on the … [Read more...]

Our Epic Road Trip, Part 1: Gravel or Gold

November 19, 2019 by Chris

"You're driving to Mexico?" "Yes." "Why the hell do you want to do that?" How do I begin? Where... do I begin? I guess I'll begin by telling you that I'm gonna break this post into three parts. There's simply too much to cover. I knew when we told people we were taking a month off to drive to Baja, Mexico, where we'd be spending the winter, we'd get some pushback. I … [Read more...]

Filling in the blanks

September 1, 2019 by Chris

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...]

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.)
