We've met some pretty extraordinary sailors during our years as cruisers. ♥️♥️♥️ The ones who dare to take off and do it are a brave & and resourceful breed ⛵️😊

Here's the before picture after we'd cleaned our teak and then after 4 coats of Teak Guard. We're super happy with the results.

Thanks to Carolyn at @theboatgalley.com for the product suggestion. ❤️

Cleaning the Eisenglass today so we can see the thunderstorms that are expected to hit us this afternoon.

We use IMAR Eisenglass and Strataglass cleaner and have been pretty happy with the results.

Gaylen got to try this super cool Johnson Metal Body Resonator Mandolin today at Sticks, Picks & Strings Music in Eddington, Maine. What a unique, eye-catching instrument! 🎶

We safely anchored in Myrtle Beach, SC last night. ⛵️ We got the anchor down early enough to take our dinghy, Kevin, to the nearby beach. It's been a week since our last shower, so that water felt amazing!!!!

We don't like to jinx ourselves, so I'll just say it's a very adequate day offshore as we make our way north of Fernandina today toward NC. Both sails are out. We're making 5 knots on average. The engine is off, and the clouds are pretty.

A good reminder.😁 It's easy to grab "the next thing" when a solution doesn't really work on what we're trying to clean, but make sure step 2 doesn't create a toxic issue!

I love these new silicone, collapsible cups with plastic lids and wrist straps. It's an awesome space-saving solution, so you're always ready when someone offers you wine or rum. 🍷 When closed, they're the size of a makeup compact.
