Who has not dreamed of living off-grid. Toni and I with our Seawind Catamaran thought this might be achievable, with our water maker, 1600 watts of solar, fishing skills and the like. But are we really ever off-grid, AIS tattling your course and speed, smart phones and smart watches lighting up the airwaves, cell towers pinging your location with every text message, and now eyes in space. I guess we could simply turn everything off, but then how will they find us if we are ever in distress? Feel free to comment and let us know your thoughts. Subscribe and share the adventure!

This is about as close to live as we can get. Andy has sheltered in place at a hurricane protected building and I have gone to Brandon which appears to the be where the eye is going to make landfall. I can't get outside now as the wind and rain is really strong. Andy is able to see the boat via the marina webcam and she appears to be doing well. I do belive we are about 2 hrs from landfall. Other reports from friends that the water in the ICW that connects the channels to the Gulf of Mexico at clearwater harbor and Clearwater Beach appears to be lower which means the water is being taken from the hurricane as it did with Ian 2 years ago. Wish us luck as we contine to go thru this hurricane. Prayers to all in the path of it. This one is nasty for sure!
