The holidays are wonderful and we're loving having the kids onboard. They just love the Lazy Gecko. We can't wait until the summer when they're with us for much longer and we can go to far off places together! We also can't wait for our upcoming passage to the Bahamas! As of now we're thinking a pa...

This little baby has been on NO GO status since we bought the boat. It just wouldn't power up and we thought it was the head unit which we delayed purchasing because it's around $400. We believe it was a bad ground though and now she works! Testing is complete and she's awesome. We are SO ready to ...

Ok here's a mistake to avoid should you ever move onto a sailboat. When we left for the wedding recently we knew we'd be away from the boat for about a week. Jeremiah turned off the wind generator and the solar panels just because we were set up with AC at the marina we pulled into. We thought it ...

Here's the one we've had so many questions about! We're away from the dock and cruising south! We hope that you enjoy this episode Patrons! Thank you so much for all you do for us!!

We get back to the boat today after our little trip to Texas! We love it when we get back to our girl. The trip was long but it was so nice to see family. Jeremiah hadn't ever met his Texas cousins before this because he was always deploying while in the Marine Corps. So we wanted to make sure to ta...

We're currently on the way to a wedding! We have family in Texas that are getting married tomorrow which is also Jeremiah birthday! So, couple of good things! We found a great little Marina that we navigated into perfectly, even rounding a piling by using a line (a first for me). We got a Ford Fu...

Hello Patrons! We've had a good amount of wind recently, that's for sure! It's been great. Blowing from 15-25 most days, that has really allowed us to feel our girl out. She sails beautifully, she points into the wind great and loves to heel! Thankfully I'm getting used to it. It's fun!! Just want...

Today was such a cool day! We got up at about 6am and Jeremiah took Bella to the beach via Taco to go potty. I readied the boat and when he got back we departed. It was just about sunrise. We had anchored right off the ICW behind a causeway in order to shield ourselves from the howling north winds...

Thank you Patrons!

I don't know. Maybe the toilet will help me decide! 😂 I'll either get relaxed re...

Just putting along in the dark on calm waters with Jeremiah at the helm, me holding Rhys and our little doggie when Jeremiah says "What the crap is that?!". I look behind me and the sky is completely lit up o...

Hello all my lovely Patrons!

Hello friends! We're moving along! I'm actually typing this while at anchor laying in the V berth, we just finished watching Pirates of the Caribbean while sipping a little rum. Things are going well! The weather has just been wonderful for the past few days. The winds are blowing right now from t...

Another batch of challenge coins are in the works right now! This time we went with brass and we loooooove the sample we've been given! Now, who should get one of these sweet little babies?! We've decided to give challenge coins instead of boat cards like so many do. Just our way of bucking the ...

As some have noticed, we met our goal of $1000.00 per video a month or so ago. We had decided that if we hit that goal we'd bite the bullet and buy a drone for our videos. Meet the newest addition to the family, her name is Fiesta! She is a DJI Phantom 4. Unless we crash her into the water, the st...

We love the way our girl's bootie looks! We're so excited that we are out of here. We had planned to leave today but then remembered that Thanksgiving was this week. Lol. We had completely forgotten about the holiday during all the work we were doing to the boat. So we adjusted plans the other day t...

Hi everyone!

The boat is compounded and waxed! The brightwork is gleaming, it's beautiful! We love having such an old boat that can clean up like the sexy lady that she always has been!
Tomorrow we will be back up the mast to fix a fitting on our VHF coax that isn't allowing it to broadcast long distances. We'...

Here's the latest episode lovely Patrons! Trust when I say that the Vimeo version has MUCH more footage but beware, it's Fantasy Fest footage. Very risky. Only the daring should watch that version. (It's almost finished uploading)
