So, if we live full time on a trawler, what impact will we have on the environment? Is it better or worse than living on land? Is there anything we can do to mitigate our impact on the environment? Here we break it down to really examine these questions! Watch to the end for an important announcement! We are SO CLOSE to our goal! Music by Bensound.com and Kahnware.com. used by permission.

This is an extension of the Boat Insurance video from last month. Many people asked for more information about how to make a hurricane plan. So this is what we have discovered and some of our ideas. It is NOT an expert lesson. You can take whatever is helpful in making your own plan. If you are not planning on cruising south during hurricane season, feel free to skip this video! Music by Bensound.com And THANK YOU to all of the new subscribers! We are so flattered!

Before we move onto the boat, we have to get rid of A LOT of stuff. Here we sort our STUFF into several "piles".

There are many options in financing a live-aboard boat. We examine some of them as we move close to our goals. Bear in mind, this is NOT a tutorial on how to finance a boat, and there are many options not discussed here. This is just our current experience.

Our 2020 Christmas card for our loyal subscribers. Merry Christmas!

When we live on our boat, we will be the primary mechanics. Knowing how to detect issues before they become problems will be vital. Here we discuss what we have learned about measuring temperatures to prevent later serious problems.

For most boaters, buying insurance is as easy as filling out an online application. But for full-time, off-shore cruisers, the insurance game is a lot more complex. We hope to share some of what we have learned about this world. We do not endorse or recommend any specific plan, policy, company or broker.

What we did on our summer vacation! With the current pandemic, we couldn't go north over the Canadian border, and the locks to the south were closed for repair. But hey, we could still cruise one of the most beautiful lakes in the world!

Now we try to do it right the first time!

Fun and adventure in electronics - without blowing up the boat!

Spring is here and it's time to get ready for the summer... and for the rest of our lives!

Late this year because of the pandemic, and we are the first in the lake!  Time to figure out what we want to learn this summer!  We have a whole curriculum planned!

The marinas are closed and we are stuck "socially distancing" at home. And we're bored. So... here is a short clip about how we named our boat.

What goes into choosing the right live-aboard boat? Lots! Watch as we weed though some the decisions that lead us to our "dream boat". Well, we HOPED to get to Florida, but Covid hit and we never made it. But we're spending a lot of time looking at boats online, waiting for things to get better!

With the boat "on the hard" and indoor, it's a good opportunity to learn about the engine and do some basic maintenance. Quite the learning process!
