It’s been awhile but we’re around!!! We have a temporary setup right now in the van while we figure out our layout we want. Had our first five-night camping trip last weekend on the west coast of Florida and loved it!!

Hope everyone had a wonderful Holiday weekend. Merry Christmas from our family to yours!

“Earn the day” is our motto while traveling.
We wake up at a reasonable time and have our coffee, then get a few hours of work accomplished and a workout in so that the rest of the day we can enjoy the destination we are in.

Today we will be enjoying some R&R on the beach here in Destin, FL.

Look what we did!!

Yep, we bought a
brand-new Ford Transit!

It’s been about seven months in the making and we were finally able to pick her up May 5th!
After a few store runs and two overstuffed suitcases full of camping gear, we are minimally setup to camp the 1400 miles from Kansas City, MO back to Orlando!
Our plan is to drive a couple hundred miles a day, stop and enjoy the town and camp for the night and just slowly make our way back in 9 days.

What does this mean for The Sailing Rode and our future sailing plans, you ask? Oh, it’s still on like Donkey Kong but the bigger boat is still a little ways off and the van is all part of our retirement plan along with the bigger sailboat.
We will still sail all over Florida as well with our MacGregor and keep enjoying life because it’s short and we only live once!!

Get up and do the things you love! And travel is one of those for us, whether by land or sea!!

Stay tuned for more adventures…

We are in a holding pattern waiting for a weather window to cross over to the Bahamas on a friends boat in the next week. Getting excited about our first time sailing across the Gulf Stream. It may even get us motivated enough to do a new podcast when we get back! Come on South winds!

It has been way too long that we have had a long sailing weekend on the boat. Excited to say we are heading to the west coast for the holiday weekend!
The main sail tear has finally been sewed up and ready to go!

Hope everyone has a wonderful and safe weekend.
