Well, Thanksgiving did not go as planned. We were not in the water yet. The ceiling repair version 2 didn’t work. So we found ourselves in a random airbnb in Cocoa Beach, FL very far away from family and friends. But, Thanksgiving happened! We had delicious food and a beautiful evening together in our humble…

We cover days 11-13 working on the boat as a family and how we recover from fiberglass-gate ceiling fail. Raegan gave us a good scare with an accident – not for the faint of heart. Josh reviews his new method for applying the fiberglass to the ceiling. And God continues to send us tender mercies…

Days 7-8 – moral is fragile but we are faking it till we make it. We officially shifted from “10 days to getting the boat in the water” to “10 days to moving onto the boat in the boatyard”. It’s not ideal nor what we planned. But we are making the most of it. We…

A couple huge setbacks force us to realize we are not hitting our 10-day challenge of getting the boat in the water. However, we still plan to move onto the boat by day 10. This means we have to get a couple huge projects done. Here’s a recap of days 5 and 6!

The reality of trying to hit our goal is setting in and we are overwhelmed but optimistic. Here’s a brief recap of days 3 and 4…

We set a 10 day challenge to finish all boat projects and splash. Here’s a recap of days 1 and 2. Do you think we will hit our goal? We’ve been told over and over that we need to get out of the boat yard. The boat yard is where dreams go to die, not…

Well, we packed our bags and left our homebase for this unknown adventure East to fix up our boat. The drive East was thankfully uneventful, and maybe even a little fun. It took us 5 days and we crossed through 9 states! Day 1: Idaho Day 2: Idaho > Colorado Day 3: Colorado > Missouri…

Well, we got the boat we didn’t think we were going to get. In today’s episode, we review our family trip to Ft. Lauderdale to look at boats. We also discuss the boat we chose and why. We bought a ‘fixer upper’ 47 ft Leopard Catamaran. And yes, we may be crazy” There is nothing…
