Have you ever seriously thought about living your dream? We did and now we are full time cruisers onboard M/V Big Run. Everyday is a new page to be written in our ship's log as we travel to new places and revisit some ol' favorites. Come along and share our experiences and journeys.

Welcome to our Adventure

We Are Living

     This posting is long overdue,  Just like our return to the boat is very long overdue  Back in May, after our return to "our" marina in Rock Hall, we spent some time on the hook catching up on boat maintenance.  Then on May 17th, we had the boat hauled and put on the hard for the summer.  I know it sounds crazy for full time cruisers to have their boat on the hard for the summer.  We thought it would be a new adventure to "go home" for a few months,  What an obscene notion!  When we developed the boat motto, "Everyday is an adventure, every evening is an event", little did we know that the adventures on water are far better than those on land.  We are currently staying with family in metropolitan Harrisburg, PA.  For two people that lived most of their lives in the country with only two traffic lights, our tolerance for red lights in the city went out the window many weeks ago.  We would rather be waiting for a bridge opening on the ICW.  And with the traffic lights come traffic congestion.  We never saw a rush hour on the water.  We never had to keep the boat between the painted lines, just out of skinny water! We never had to look for a parking space, just a place with the best vista to drop the boat hook.  We never have boats tailgating us, because they all pass us whenever they want to, albeit some of them wake us. When we are on the water, without a car, having to walk to grocery stores, waking up to a new adventure every day, we are living.

I am a bit confussed are you cruising again?
We have been on land for over a month now, not quite what its cracked up to be.
We like our little home on the water ALOT better.

No, we are not back to cruising, I was making a comparison to the dull mundane life on land. The boat is still on the hard. We are thinking of going over (recommission) the end of July and leaving Rock Hall sometime in August. Then, we will start our migration south and back to the Bahamas. The adventure can't begin soon enough.
