Everyone on board takes a deep breath when we lower the anchor with the windlass, because that’s when things often go bad.
When one of the girls needs a doctor while cruising in Mexico, the differences in health care systems becomes apparent.
I’ve lost the first round in my quest to install LED lights, but I am not finished.
We’re back in the U.S. and we’re spending money like drunken sailors…well, we’ve spent very little on booze and none in brothels, but we’re spending lots. Neither of us enjoys it.

In early 2006, after our second daughter, Frances, was born, I had the mother of all epiphanies: we should quit our jobs, sell everything, buy a boat, and sail around the world.
