In which I write about how I deal with #seasickness as a #fulltimeLiveaboard #cruiser.
TL;DR; it's not as big of a problem as I thought it would be, and when it is, I have solutions for 90% of those times.

Hey! It's a long form update from our journey. Read the story of our recent Florida to Bahamas (the #gulfStream) crossing where I share how we planned & executed our passage including a harrowing portion in the middle of the night!
And wow: that was 2 weeks ago. We’re still getting our heads around what it means for us to be #cruisers, & we’re enjoying the laid back nature of the #Bahamas.

This place is incredible. Every locating looks painted or fake or "too perfect" to be real. But I assure you, what they say about the #bahamas is all true! Crystal clear waters. White sandy beaches. White fluffy clouds floating by. This is totally worth all the blood, sweat, and tears (lots of tears lol) it took to get here.

Being new to #cruising means some of these places are awe-inspiring, especially having grown up inland & very land locked with little to no regular on-water experiences. Florida feels like a foreign land, especially the 80F in Feb😆
It's a cool adventure so far, and I'm quite looking forward to our impending hop to the Bahamas...a long time in the making.
This is what living on a Sailboat is for me. I spent the last 20+years getting good at some stuff. Now it's time to suck at stuff again and grow. #fulltimeLiveaboard #sailingLife

In which I learn how to strip, crimp, and heat shrink wires to fix our high water bilge pump. Because I fit lol. (note the phone on the left in camera mode... My other pair of eyes for boat repairs)

In tonight's episode of "What's Broken on the Boat", we find a leak in our fresh water plumbing and have to take turns attempting to replace a qest fitting on pex in the absolute most difficult to reach part of the fresh water system.
