New blogs

Knowing that I love a good travel blog, Kathy offered up a few with a new twist…..sailing travel blogs.

Really Kathy, like I am not slacking on my domestic duties enough, now you have Bill and I obsessively reading sailing travel blogs. Evil, I tell you.

What? You want links?

Fine. But don’t blame me if you fall under their spell.

The first is written by a set of twins, and is called, aptly, Sailing Twins.

Their parents blog at Gone Native.

They dry docked for the winter, and I am hoping that they will start blogging again soon.

The next is MarihaloJen and is a family of 2 living aboard a 35′ Coronado. Lovely pictures and a great read.

From there I found the Hacking Family, Miss Emily, Gilana and so many more.

Then there is The Cruising Life, Kids Aboard and numerous homeschooling aboard blogs and resources.

At this moment, Billy is on the way down to participate in the survey for the new boat. We are anxious, and hoping all is well with her hull (no major blisters etc). If all goes as planned, we will settle on a price and hopefully close on the boat in the next week or so.

After she is ours, the work will begin. There are many things we want to fix/change on the boat, so I see June being a fix-her-up month. The trailer will be hauled to Port A (the boat is near there), and that will be our base. Not sure how long we will keep it there, but a month for sure is on the agenda, with us traveling back and forth.

Exciting times for sure.

The other day Bill and I were talking and trying to decide if we are doing the right thing buying this boat. He looked at me, smiled and said “Now or never”. Remember Now Or Never?

The sign is the first thing I am bringing on the boat.
