toys guaranteed
Over the next few weeks, the kids have a great challenge ahead of them. They must make their final decisions on which remaining toys will go into the bin for the boat, and which toys will need to find a new home. When we first began our “thinning out” process, I wondered how we would … Continue reading
change revisited
This post revisits one that I wrote on our original Sailblogs site back in September 2010. As we draw closer to our current departure, there are many of the same issues that are staring us in the face for a second time. So here we go again!

dazed & confused
Some days I can’t figure out which direction to go first. This morning I am walking in circles. Looking at the pile of items that still need to be listed For Sale.

Wil has always loved tinkering with Toyota Landcruisers. However, now it’s time to spend all tinkering onboard the boat! My car … Continue reading
having some fun
I would like to get to know our readers. Wil says he wouldn’t participate in a poll like this himself, but I think they’re fun. Therefore, this is a little test to see how much participation we get. Hope to hear from you! How much boating do you do (or have you done)? return to … Continue reading
99 days
Celebrating 99 days to go! 99 days until Wil’s last day of work. 99 days until the end of this phase in our lives. 99 days until a totally new phase begins. Exciting & scary all at the same time. return to home page
