Season Change and Change is Good!

Beach Pumpkin Season

It’s that time of the year again!

 Hi everybody!

A season change is coming. Or maybe it’s already here!  Who can tell?

Here in Florida, it can be hard to know just by the temperature.  For us, it means that the constant upper 90s of summer will begin to cool to a brisk 80° or so.

But that’s great for us. This is part of why we love living in this beautiful state.   Boating all year long!!

We know that in many parts of the country, folks are already winterizing their vessels and looking forward to the next summer.    Boooooo!!  🙁

Okay . . .   maybe somebody in Florida is winterizing their boat, but no one we know is!

Hurricane Dorian on the way

Test 1, 2, 3 . . .     is this thing on?  

We are soooo stoked to be back in the blog-o-sphere and ready to post about everything from checking out an Albin 36′ trawler, to moving, and even hurricane Dorian.

We’re back online and transmitting from our new location just barely above sea level in sunny Melbourne, Florida.

Since the end of March and our trip toTrawlerfest, what has been going on in our lives?

Heartache :

Sadness fell on us at the end of February when my mom passed away,  just 6 days after her 88th birthday. Continue reading “Hurricane Dorian, Heartache, and the Albin 36”
