Back to where it all began- Still in Fort Lauderdale

 So here we sit.. Back at a Marina we both love and hate... Back where we lost our canvas, solar panels and freedom. Back to being stuck in a beautiful place that holds us captive from our goal! Back to where we never wanted to be.  Thanks to Geoff and his sane perspective we filed our insurance claim. Its funny how horrible I feel when doing nothing wrong.  We all know that feeling when we go through customs or a Police boat/car pulls up.  Somehow there is instant panic in the exact moment we should feel safe and protected. (Yes Geoff was Military and my Family is OPP) Doesn't change a thing BUT remind me just how broken we are as a society.  Needless to say....I feel guilty after 4 days floating without power....and without a response from insurance for pushing for follow up. For being the squeaky wheel.  For the record this is the EXACT reason I HATED the idea of filling another claim.  Somehow through ZERO fault of our own, I have been made to feel...

The Billion dollar home - Lake Sylvia

 Perspective is everything  Tucked away in a bay where the sunshine glistens across our skin, we gaze upon houses that we wonder are ever truly lived in.  We sit in a silly swing chair hung on hopes and dreams and wonder if the people inside the billion dollar homes have ever had a home at all.  Guilty of judging or writing a strangers story, I giggle at the fact that they do the same.  They look out their freshly clean windows, dressed in their freshly pressed pajamas at the rift raft that floats outside thier billion dollar home for free..... Two worlds mere meters apart....without a glimpse of understanding of the other.  As we sit eating our cold chili straight from a can....I smile at a man that makes me feel richer than any billion dollar home.  And I cannot help but wonder of the empty halls we gaze upon Wishing them true happiness and wonder if they do the same. 

Hello my friends ( Fort Lauderdale)

Hello again our dear friends, Not sure who has missed us, or who has checked in but here we are again. We will see how long it lasts but for now....We are here. Just like anyone and any tasks, we are living moment by moment and focusing our energy on what feels right. This trip has been a journey, to say the very least.   Both in miles our dear boat has safely guided us through to those that are now branded into our souls. Memories we will cherish, and those that we are happy to say we survived. All in all, tis life.   No matter WHAT you are doing....life will happen. Things you see on social media will allow you to use up all your positive energy glorifying someone else's life at the cost of your own. Such a strange creature we are. After working so long with so many different animals, humans are by far the ones I will never understand. We pride ourselves on being this superior creature, untouched by any other species, and yet with it comes the cost of being in th...
