We recently have made some great friends with another couple on our dock. They have quickly become a staple in our daily life and we all fell into sync seamlessly. They had a hard bottom, narrow dinghy that they didn’t much care for – they wanted an inflatable. We had an inflatable that we didn’tContinue reading “Just a Boy and his Dinghy”

Happy Boat-versary!
This time of year holds many special memories in our boating lives. And today is no exception! One year ago today, we were in St. Maarten, the world had pretty much shut down. We were staying in a lovely little condo near the boat, so we were coming and going really early and pretty late.Continue reading “Happy Boat-versary!”
Copycat Chick-Fil-A Sandwich with Jalapeno Honey
I promise to not be the person that shares 5 paragraphs of intro before the actual recipe. Diving right in. Have you ever heard of Red Bag Chicken? I came across this lucky find while looking at the Aldi weekly ad. These precooked, frozen, fried chicken patties are $5 for a bag and have 6Continue reading “Copycat Chick-Fil-A Sandwich with Jalapeno Honey”
Sew, Sew, Sew Your Boat…
I decided to start sewing for purely practical reasons. It’s a useful skill no matter the application and overall pretty popular around the sailing community. I am honestly surprised at how much I enjoy it. Well, it started with just enjoying the results. Enjoying the process has been a much slower courtship. I am NOTContinue reading “Sew, Sew, Sew Your Boat…”
So Long 2020!!
2020 has been…. well, we all know that it was challenging. But not all bad! 2020 will forever be the year that we fulfilled a dream and a goal, faced some fears, and solidified our love for Marionette’s Revenge. Amidst the pandemic, it was easy to see the inconveniences and the fear, but just beyondContinue reading “So Long 2020!!”
Fancy Feast
Sometimes you just need a fancy meal. No good reason is necessary. And sometimes that meal turns out even better than you hoped for. Which brings me to…. Crab Stuffed Salmon. Hubs had been craving seafood (which is pretty much every day) and Publix had crab BOGO – win, win. Shopping List (serves 2): SalmonContinue reading “Fancy Feast”
Thanksgiving in Review
From time to time, hubby likes to lend his creative writing skills. I always appreciate his perspective and his clever wordsmithing. This entry is no exception. Enjoy! November 27th, Marionettes Revenge and company celebrated American Thanksgiving. (Yes a day late due to some excellent southerly travel)To be honest, it was an extremely bitter sweet day.Continue reading “Thanksgiving in Review”
Appreciate the Little Things.
We have been living aboard full time now for over 6 years and I would say we have acclimated fairly well to the lifestyle. We have learned many lessons along the way and learned to make do with what we have. Any liveaboard will tell you, this lifestyle is not for everyone. Everyday tasks, likeContinue reading “Appreciate the Little Things.”
So It’s Been Awhile….
I was so excited to blog about our sailing adventures! Not to toot my horn, but I think we had a strong start. Ending a 7 year dream and plan with a 1500 mile trek across the Caribbean Sea during a worldwide pandemic? Solid material, even for an amateur blogger. Then we arrived. It wasContinue reading “So It’s Been Awhile….”
A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood
One of the beautiful things about living on a boat is the ablity to choose your surroundings. Don’t like your marina? Move. Don’t like your neighbors? Move. But what if you do like your neighbors? Didn’t see that one coming, but what a happy surprise! When we landed in Tarpon Springs after our 1500 mileContinue reading “A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood”
