so busy! downsizing to move onto our boat is a surprising amount of work! our eldest son came down from South Dakota to help with some heavy lifting! The dogs loved his visit. more donations to Savvy Seconds! #sliceoflife #peacefulvibe #pets

Juno's such a busy GermanShepherd dog! She is always by my side! #pets

Winds were perfect for sailing off our anchor and through the few boats anchored in party cove (Indian Creek Beach cove) with a friend & coworker on my Server and Storage Systems team. Always fun to do! #Morgan #Morgain415oi #sailing #peacefulvibe #MarkTwainLake

Sailor & Juno's Little Adventures: more selling items to liveaboard GalaxSea, returning items like that hose sprayer, getting Sailor chipped and a cone of shame. #sliceoflife #peacefulvibe #pets #SailingtheGalaxSea

Boat Mascots: One of a kind sculpted derby monster! Eventually, I will sculpt my own Lit-RPG fantasy creatures (gnomes, trolls, fairies,goblins etc) but that may be hard living on GalaxSea. Shout out to Jeremy Campbell's creations! #jeremycampbellstudios #SailingtheGalaxSea #sliceoflife #polymerclay

Sailor &Juno's Product Review: Super High Pressure Garden Hose Nozzle--replaces the need for a Pressure washer on our boat, GalaxSea! #SailingtheGalaxSea #sliceoflife #pets #productreview I told my wife the advertisements looked fake, but prepared myself for cyclonic water pressure!

Sailor &Juno 'help out' with just about everything!It is a surprising amount of work to downsize a lifetime of build up! Angie retires in a month!#peacefulvibe #pets #sliceoflife #rurallife #SailingtheGalaxSea

The dogs always know! I quietly grab my wallet and keys and they will be waiting at the door...and seem to know which truck to go to! downsizing tasks are getting real!!! Just sold our bedroom set and more stuff! can't wait to move on board GalaxSea, our 1992 Jeantot Privilege 39 sailing catamaran! I add these shorts to our Sailing the GalaxSea Playlist to chronicle the journey from ordinary land bound family to liveaboard Sailors! It's been quite a journey so far! I will post shorts/reels/tiktoks regularly once we move aboard in addition to live streams and full length YouTube videos! #sliceoflife #peacefulvibe #sailingthegalaxsea #liveaboard #pets

we continue to downsize in order to rent out our little farm and move onto GalaxSea this summer! the dogs go everywhere with me...helping out!

Getting closer to our move onto GalaxSea date! Love's Travel Stops & Lit-RPG audiobooks make the 25 hours in the truck easy to do! #peacefulvibe #lovestravelstop #pets #SailingtheGalaxSea #sliceoflife

Sailor is my little buddy but Juno's bonded to me in that German Shepherd way! The dog ramp was one of those game changer purchases! #pets #boatlife #sliceoflife #SailingtheGalaxSea #peacefulvibe

So proud of Sailor. he learned when we were on the American Great Loop aboard Galactica. Now Juno needs to learn too.#boatlife #pets #sailboat #SailingtheGalaxSea #sliceoflife

heading out to anchor near the downtown waterfront of Belhaven and finish repairing the mainsail's running rigging.

great exercise climbing the mast, GalaxSea's mast has a jaunty raking curve to the back so you're hanging backwards the further up you go!

the top block on the port side lazy jack had broken off sometime last year while she was on the hard. now that she's swimming again, tome to fix some bad rigging!

before we bought her, the engine was overheating due to a bad heat exchanger which they replaced and exhaust elbow. prior owner sold us the boat before the elbow parts came in. so I replaced them today.

Listening to the sounds of nature during our morning walk. #peacefulvibe #pets #boatlife #SailingtheGalaxSea #sliceoflife

Moving to a temporary spot and working on various little GalaxSea projects!
