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 HORRIBLE for using a service we paid to have. 

#paidguilt! #AMAZING!

All the same here we are....

Safe....minutes from and ocean and free of snowflakes (which I still miss) 

The one thing I will say if you haven't picked up on it yet! 

We trust the direction life guides us! 

We TRY to pay attention! 

We TRY to see the lesson that life is trying to jam down our throats! 

There is a reason we are here; In THIS moment! 

We are going to try to get our ducks in a row! Because apparently there are a few running rampid that life is saying are not in line. 

So here we go! 

Let's hope we learn the lesson that is meant for us!

Finally an update on everything and nothing

So here we sit, keyboard tapping and no true news to report.  Funny how long its been, with delays being hidden on hopes and dreams of sharing good news.   Words hung up on wishes. In truth we know that greatness rarely comes easy, especially to this motley crew. Yet, as we reflect, scream and plan we are humbled by the year that has come to pass. We have had enough wins to warrant a pat on the back... and perhaps grant ourselves a little grace  We can confidently say we are giving it our all.   Not sure if we are still crawling or snuck in some baby steps.....but forward is forward! Let CRA be the judge 🤣 Which as of right now....have asked for more clarification..... Which we are eager to share....however the phone call of help soared high over my head!  Arms flinging to grab any detail I could grab.....to help capture the point form reply they eagerally await!  Insert the plea to lawyers here!  One lawyer office quickly and kindly cr...

Helllllo Charity Status!

  Well hello there! Once again its been a hot minute.  But hey we have been busy chasing dreams and making momories! As many of you know we found out in February that we had been granted official charity status! This is HUGE for us! What that means is that I might return to tapping on these keys. Although the goal might be a little different than past blogs, we do want to keep everyone up to date on where we are at with things. So with that said lets dive into it. With receiving charity status, it means we can truly launch into fundraising and that mad dash to upgrade the boat one last time! Although we love and are grateful for Dare to Dream, we know that there will be people missing out just based on the limitations of our current vessel.  Dont get confused, we will still be moving full speed ahead with hosting guests this summer! We believe in what the waters and nature has to offer and we remain determined to share our experience with as many veterans that are willing...

4800 km to go! But whos counting!

Another pin in our hats and a notch in our belts! Thats right...we are heading back! We had a few guests take us up on our offer to come visit, although not as many as we had hoped or thought might come.  But than again we didn't really know what to expect. Either way we are happy to have had the chance to share a piece of this chapter with you!  And remind you and others that our doors are always open! Canada is just as beautiful in its own way, as the blue seas of the Bahamas! We think it will be sometime before we venture down this way on a boat again. We learned that others were right! It wasn't a cheap trip, BUT it was worth every penny.... We prefer to live our life than wish we had! With that said....time to start saving again! (we are dreamers but we aren't stupid - we still have more dreams to live!) Our time here has been amazing....from the moment we pushed off port with teary eyes as new friends wished us well.....to the lessons learned along the way. It has bee...
