Why Stay

I’ve shared the many reasons Sarah and I decided to move onto a boat. After doing tons of research and reading stories online, we knew we were walking on the right path. Emotionally, we felt ready to run.

So now we live on Odyssey, and she’s become our home. We take her sailing or sometimes just bay-hop. In the right season we travel to remote islands, in the wrong season we tuck into a marina to dodge the occasional storm.

So, how is it going?  Great question. Most importantly, why are we still in a space considered small even for a ‘tiny home’? What compels us to continue this seemingly isolated life style, just the two of us for days or even weeks at a time?

Meals are special.

In the next series of posts I’ll try and explain why it is working for us and why we plan to live on a boat for as long as possible. It isn’t an easy path we’ve chosen. Many try but soon realize it isn’t the life style they had expected. 

It wasn’t quite the lifestyle we expected either.

We discovered a world we didn’t know existed.

What we found was a way of living that is rewarding, where we are always together, always exploring. Captain and crew, cook and dishwasher, artist and writer. We’ve discovered that even in this busy world, you can still find time enough for love.
