IT'S REALLY HAPPENING! Our FIRST SAIL to Key West on new 58 ft Catamaran!
After weeks of preparation, its finally time to set sail! Brent, the kids and I, plus grandma and grandpa, and an old salty sailor named Tom, leave Ft Lauderdale, en route for Key West! We get settled into our new floating home and try really hard to embrace boat life and all her obstacles. Things you take for granted in your home on land, like fresh, running water and getting groceries, take a lot more preparation and monitoring. We have some visitors on the boat for the first time. And it's all starting to sink in that this is really real! This is happening! The last two years of dreaming and sacrificing, and the more recent months of packing and moving here to there, all the stressing over details that had to come together to make this happen...it all comes together here and now, and has all been worth every second! It is not all rainbows and sunshine. We've had some serious WTF moments. But we are trying to keep a sense of humor during this learning curve!
