Fort Lauderdale - Time to get creative!

 So we are still in Fort Lauderdale.

Apparently, it's hard to get any work done....and if you can its not at a price that seems fair.

We are both a little old school and miss the days when hard work and value were more balanced. 

To think we had just installed the Solar....and were so close to being able to set off on our next chapter.

Unfortunately, as the new installs for a water maker and macerator are slowly coming along (nothing is ever simple) We find ourselves coming to the end of our stay at the Marina with the main project still incomplete.

With an overpriced quote submitted to insurance, we are trying to decide next steps.

Do we really need power and shade (kidding we know we do) just what is the fastest and best way to achieve both? (Feel free to comment with any brilliant ideas) We are happy to call a friend on this one :) 

We know we are sure we will find a solution....and at least we are closer to answers than we were; even if its by crossing off options. 

Progress is still progress.  And hey we are still on a boat traveling the world together AND have a guest to share laughs and memories with once again!

We are making the best of what we can.

So here we sit....with little to write about but I promise you we are making memories we will all cherish! And one day these tales will be told with a laugh! 

Stay tuned because I am sure something wonderful is just around the corner! (Hopefully calm blue waters!) 


Making the best waiting for answers :) 


Who's up next? 


3 Musketeers crushing it in Florida!


Excited for the day we have lights!

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...
