During the cold dark months of winter on the east coast we were tucked into a slip and I spent much of that time banging on the keys of my iPad. I’m so pleased to share part one of a two-part article that was featured in issues 62 and 63 of Tiny House Magazine. I’d love to tell you 100 more things about being published but I’ll save that for a day when I’m not also giving you 2,000 words in one sitting.
Please let us know if you enjoyed this article and thank you for reaching the end of part one. I’ll post part two in a few weeks. As always, I’m looking forward to sharing these tiny pieces of our lives with you.

OMG I love it. This looks so quaint! We are planning on doing something similar when the kiddos are a bit older though. Now I am really damn excited for the whole boat life thing lol

Hi! We vote for taking the leap as soon as your little sprouts can swim. 😉
There are so many variations to this lifestyle, everything from keeping a small sailboat as a weekend getaway to chartering something big and beautiful in the Caribbean, and many many things in between.
I’d love to get you out on the water, and maybe also help you pass along the things in your home that won’t be making the journey with you.
Please feel free to keep in touch if you have questions or just want to chat!

How many months or years are you away from leaving? We had dinner this evening with one couple who is heading out to who knows where in four days and another couple who live on land and only sail in nice weather. There are so many of us with different agendas!

there are indeed lots and lots of us around the world. My goal was always to build a life I will never need a vacation from. Currently, I am very close to it and the last step which consists of the boat will be coming true when the kiddos are mostly done with school probably. Just because I do not have the patience to homeschool lol The better half is still very busy with his gigs everywhere and so we will probably use it in our ‘older years’ lol First comes the saving for a boat, the prep of the boat, and achieving the goals I have with the home on land aka turn it into an awesome oasis of being self sufficient and super inviting for friends and new people you meet along the way 🙂

Thank you so much! Do you plan to resume blogging when the weather warms up and there is actual sailing to be done?

While my boat is no match to yours, it’s mine and you know how that feels. Size, cost, quality, they are all relative things in the grand scheme. Happiness being the ultimate goal we all have a path to follow, a river that can run treacherously fast at times and gentle as a butterfly just around the next bend. Each in their own way follow what feels right in their hearts and souls so as to not tarnish the “Dream” we hold up as the pinnacle of success in our individual lives. I will achieve mine in about a year and a half if all goes well. See you on the water!
