DESTINATION: Boat Shopping // We’re buying a boat and don’t even know how to sail!
That’s right! We are buying a boat and don’t even know how to sail! (But we’re learning!) Our new video is coming out soon and it’s all about the process we went through to find a boat including the how, what, when, where and WHY!

I have not worked through all of it yet as we have been busy shifting from a home based life to packing the van up andContinue reading “Captain’s Log 5/27/20”
