Packing It Up at the Demopolis Yacht Basin

On the morning of our last update (Friday, September 30th), unbeknownst to us at the time, our friend David’s boat, “Moonstruck,” a 44-foot Defever, turned on its side after passing a barge and sunk in …

Greetings Landlubbers!
The Jones’ and the Argosy’s (yacht ‘Seabird’) have returned to Malaysia after a a two and half month stay back home in the States. Our reasoning for going home for the summer was that we might enjoy a reprieve from the h…

#57 Wine Country


I’ll admit it; we love wine.  It adds so much to a conversation or meal.  We’ve found it pairs well with any sunset, real or imaginary, just about any time.  After a day of hard work, we like to think of the traditional pour as a ‘reward’.  About the only time we don’t have wine is when we’re underway.  Otherwise, you can be sure as Debbie prepares the evening meal, there will be a bottle opened.   Eliana has a small wine cooler on board.  We usually keep a few bottles of red and white in ther…

Good Riddance, Mississippi River

At dawn (if you could call it that) on September 25th, after an almost sleepless night, we didn’t have any really good options.  The overnight rain had now changed to thunderstorms, which were predicted to last throughout the day.  If we sa…

Mackinaw City, MI to Joliet, IL (Sept 24 to Oct. 7)

We left Mackinaw City under cloudy skies.  Rain was predicted, but not much wind so we expected calm seas on our first day on Lake Michigan – finally heading south!  The rain didn’t really show up – but neither did the calm seas.  As the…

Last Saturday, I had a tough decision to make. We were preparing to lea…

Living Light for sale (???) and a new venture….

Well, I have some real mixed emotions making this post! If you have been following our blog regarding our beloved “Living Light,” you know that well…we love her. :) Seriously, no other boat has so captivated and called to me and made me feel so ve…
