Our home afloat is just that, our home, where everyday situations occur. We laugh and cry and fight and make up. We argue about bedtimes and we have dishes to wash and dinners to make. Sometimes these little details end up consuming our days and we forget that we are living these details out, Read More

I have been having an affair. And it’s getting serious. I may even be in love.  Her name is Comox. It started last year and lasted a weeked, but we recently rekindled the romance this weekend.  She has beauty equivalent to yours, Vancouver, but she wins hands down for cruising. She is big enough, Read More

Yep, it’s been awhile! Between Kristine spending 6 weeks In Sri Lanka on a clinical placement and all the spring boat chores, we have been very busy. Time to update the blogs!

We have recently acquired a new crew mate, well two technically. When Kristine’s brother found himself without place to live, we took him in, not a problem with Asunto’s large spare room. More interestingly he came with a bearded lizard named Petrie. We like the lizard just fine; he lives in a terrarium in, Read More
