The owner of this sensational 180-foot ketch was attracted by the concept of having a separate aft section of the boat all to himself, including a stateroom, deckhouse and cockpit. The stateroom itself is huge, and includes walk-in closets and a magnificent bathroom. Adele still has ample space for four guest suites, four crew cabins and some lovely relaxation areas. Her dual-purpose design - exploring remote areas and recreational racing - involved an extensive amount of research. Read more: https://www.hoekdesign.com/yacht/adele1

In our town we have a small swim lake for the kids. Each year the geese nest on an island and the population can get to 50. They stay all year and if the number is more then 20 they make the beach unusable. So after talking with the Ohio Department of natural resources we put together a program to encourage the geese not to nest on the island. The program is very simple. Visit the island with a dog for 2 hours every day during nesting season for 2 weeks at dusk. The Geese will then become convinced the Island is not a good place to nest and will move away. It is very important that you do not hurt the geese in any way and that you follow the law in your area. I also take her to the island a few time during the summer just to check it out. Here is one of our trips during the summer.

And then there were 6 🫣 Here’s a little fly-by picture reel of our second fur-baby Smidge 🐾 Rescued by Laura from under a green wheelie-bin at a teeny 500g - almost died of gastroenteritis but came back from the brink and never left (much to Ross’s initial disapproval 😂). We’ve had her a little while now but until we were completely confident she was suited to boatlife we kinda kept it schtum 🤫. Turns out she won’t leave the boat even if the windows and hatch are wide open but she does love to hang out during a spot of yoga on deck… Ronnie took her under his furry paws like nothing you’ve ever seen and their love is something else! Who else has rescue kitties on board and would pick take all the strays home if they could? 👩🏼🧔🏽‍♀️👦🏼🧑🏼‍🦰🐈🐈‍⬛🦋⛵️❤️
