UPDATE 2021! We bought a boat! We picked up our catamaran in the USVI in Nov 2020, and here we still are. Stay tuned for more adventures!
UPDATE 2020: After 3 years and 10,000 nautical miles of cruising on our beloved Beneteau, it’s time to switch gears! We sold the boat, made some more money, and are just about to set sail again – this time in a Catamaran.
Skipper Mark is now officially The Captain, Jennifer is back to painting, and sadly we are no longer a Dog Boat.
While things have changed significantly over the 1.5 years we’ve been back on land, we are SUPER excited to get back on the water where we belong. Stay tuned for more adventures!
Libby, Molly and Mark – crew & skipper |
What are we doing? We’re currently on the lookout for a boat. (See Home tab for frequent updates!) In the middle of buying a Beneteau 393! Done. Bringing home the boat and making her “ours.” Done! Prepping to move aboard! Finishing up boat upgrades and saving that cash – so we can get the heck outta Dodge! 🙂
Where are we? Currently working our way back from the Eastern Caribbean to the Bahamas, and then the States for hurricane season.

When are we setting sail? Well now, that’s a good question. We’re not exactly old enough to retire yet. BUT who’s to say we can’t go ahead and enjoy our boating adventures on weekends and holidays?!? But truthfully? ASAP! We are selling things off like crazy, working on those upgrades we’ve decided we can’t live without, and are stashing away the cash like Scrooge McDuck. UPDATE: 10 months to go! Count down with us each month on Instagram. 🙂 Update: Out here living the dream for almost 3 years!
Why are we doing this? We love to travel and, let’s face it – we’re not exactly your typical land lubbering-stuff collecting-home bodies. We are going to float around and explore with no time clock to punch.There’s so much of this world left for us to check out. As a bonus – we’d love to be able to give back to the areas we visit. So we will be looking for orphanages, shelters, handy man projects, food banks, etc. – anywhere we can contribute. Stay tuned – we’ll even be offering ways for you to contribute to the places we explore as well!
Reading your Bahamas posts in prep for our own trip this fall. We are up on St. Helena Island not far from you. Thanks for the great tips and ideas, many of which we plan to use.
Thanks for reading! We are working our way back to the Bahamas now, from the Caribbean. Maybe we will cross paths.
