Our batteries failed us... we have to cut back on power where we can and make some modifications for the portable freezers, we also discover our ice maker is now on the fritz and only making ice water. Andy goes on a rant at the end and tell it like it is.... join us for the stresses this week as we aren't able to enjoy any fun and do the famous "boat work in exotic places" All financial contributions (or items purchased on Amazon) are tax deductible for your US income tax returns for full face and/or retail value.

Tell me it isn't so... is this the reason why George is becoming a picky eater and why even Pumpkin won't eat her dry dog food? They would much rather go hungry than to eat the dog food anymore... What are your thoughts? I think they are the best fed pups on the water.

We are happy to announce that we are now in Annapolis, making some good content for you with the dogs and we will be here at both the Power Boat and Sailboat shows with booth time at the Sailboat show on both Thursday and Sunday. Come to the show and say hi, we will be out and about and at the both for the complete show. We look forward to meeting you there!

Today we are out for an adventure.... We head out to look for the abandoned radio tower, take the puppies for quick swim, snorkel Sombero Reef and find Gilligan's island... Snorkeling was epic, no need to leave the boat, they just hang out right there so we just grabbed a line and hung out with them.

Wow, what a week! Marathon is a sticky bottom! So much to do and see. This week, we head over to Dockside for cocktails and happy hour (sorry no video taken) and then for some reason there is cheesecake involved so off to publix we go and of course daily walks with the puppies and dogs go to beach and a community potluck and corn hole. Marathon is a sticky bottom and doesn't want you to leave because... we just started and we don't want to leave already. We found our place!

Now that we are cruising and living our best life, we thought we would update you all with who we are, what we are doing and who we are doing it with... come along for the adventure and journey with us. We can't wait to share with you.

We have arrived in Boot Key and what an active anchorage this is. We loved it here and it most certainly has a sticky bottom. We show you just a glimpse of what life has been like... beach days with the puppies, taking them for walks with a little dose of boat work.

Erin is now level with where we are as she has moved overnight. Some winds, no rain and we are holding well.

Live update on board SV FreeSpirit with Hurricane Erin knocking at our door.

Dinner is just about ready so we will update you with the current status of Erin. Winds are light, no rain yet... couldn't be better!

Good Afternoon Family, Friends, Subscribers and Viewers, we are posting an update to Hurricane Erin as of 12:30PM. We are in NC on the Pongo River, if you don't know where that is... the closest town to us is Bell Haven, NC. We are off on river chute to wait out the storm on anchor. We are currently in 12 ft of water with just over 200 ft of chain out... So far only cloudy skies and no wind or rain. We will keep you updated through the storm.

Well we have arrived at our hurricane hole in Pongo River, NC and now it's a waiting game for Erin to slide on by. This is our 1st hurricane on the hook but we couldn't be more confident in our ground tackle from Mantus... From the Anchor itself, to the new bridle and the swivel. The gear has held up well and so far the highest gusts we saw was 40 knots of wind while anchored in Oriental, NC. Now we will clear off the top side of the boat and then settle in for the weather but for now, we are enjoying the calm waters!

Finally... We are on the hook... Countdown to leave is now just days away. Now we spend the next few days, doing final systems test, taking the puppies ashore for potty breaks and beach time, trying to get them to go potty on the boat and just going to and from on the boat... Next up..."Departure day" All financial contributions (or items purchased on Amazon) are tax deductible for your US income tax returns for full face and/or retail value.

Today, we did our final sea trial and said "see you later" to the kids. We cruised the coast just outside of Clearwater Beach and Sand Key. They all got sick so didn't enjoy it as much. We then dropped the hook and anchored out as we prepare to leave next week.

It's time to load up on provisions... Like I don't already have enough food, I need more. We head off to stock up at Sam's Club, Costco, Publix and Walmart.
