Written by the Husband 🙂 Over the last two years I’ve had several inquisitive folk ask not only what does Marionette’s Revenge mean, but also the story behind the Godfather looking logo. When we bought Marionettes Revenge her original name was simply Marionette, which we didn’t care for. At all. Not even a little. In fact someone askedContinue reading “What’s In A Name?”

The To-Do List Runneth Over
Our very dear friends on Acadia had a brilliant and very useful idea that we have since stolen from them and now have a love hate relationship with it’s usefulness. Meet the wall of shame aka the to-do list: These are all of the things that need to be done before we leave next year.Continue reading “The To-Do List Runneth Over”
The One Where a Goal Becomes a Plan
When hubs and I made the initial plan about moving to Florida and the type of boat we wanted by that time, we started with a date. My stepson was about 12 years old and split his time between us and his mother and was slated to graduate May of 2020.  We knew we didn’tContinue reading “The One Where a Goal Becomes a Plan”
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!”
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!!”
Thanksgiving in Review

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”
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”
Know What Else Flies?
So after the fish suicides, we had switched shifts a couple of times and I was napping when I hear a great deal of noise coming from the cockpit. Hubs is clearly fighting a losing battle with the sails. When I come up to help, I see that, yes, he is in fact fighting aContinue reading “Know What Else Flies?”
Sleeping with the Fishes
Sometimes, more often lately, I realize that my life is weird. Not in a bad way, just different. Last week, I had to go 65 ft up the mast of our boat (for the 4th time) and within 10 minutes, I was down and on a conference call. A rather odd succession of events. But,Continue reading “Sleeping with the Fishes”
Puerto Rico – Hubby’s Perspective
So Hubby has decided to contribute to the Sailing Marionette blog, albeit the last thing I want to do is take away from my wonderful wife’s mad skills of writing about our new adventures. However, I guess I do have something to contribute after all… So I will begin with Puerto Rico. We are inContinue reading “Puerto Rico – Hubby’s Perspective”
