Life is funny, don’t you think?  We plan and plan and plan with hopes of everything going exactly as we’d like it.  But, we all know it doesn’t work that way.  It feels like things are turned upside down or shaken up, and then all of a sudden, without you even noticing it, things turnContinue reading “Be Fearless”

First full week back on Batland and it feels so good. We’ve had a busy few weeks; moving out of the apartment and onto the boat, flying to CO for a week, weddings and family get-togethers. We’ve loved it, but we’re also very tired and excited for a little R&R (aka going to bed onContinue reading “Projects, Rest, and a Beautiful Life”

Happy WEDNESDAY folks! Today is a special day, because one year ago we posted our first blog on Mentally Sailing!  We were on our way to the concrete ships, I wrote the blog under way, and we posted it at 5pm ET every Tuesday after that – except for yesterday when we completely forgot aboutContinue reading “Happy One Year of Mentally Sailing!”

Hello world and happy Tuesday all the way from Colorado! This week, Steve and I will be in Lafayette and Estes Park for a fun mini vacation for his cousin’s wedding.  We came in early so that we could explore CO a little, see some of his family who’s already here, and because why theContinue reading “Hello from Colorado!”

Happy rainy Tuesday to everyone who is also experiencing summer storms, and to those of you who aren’t as well. Today has been lovely, though a bit slow paced.  After quite a busy few days, I’m happy to have a cool down today.  I made it to the beach just long enough to go forContinue reading “Rain, Rain, Go Away”

Happy Tuesday, readers! I just got back from a walk, trying to figure out what I wanted to write about today.

May is almost over, but it’s going out with a bang! This week we had a blast with friends, family, and lots of time in the sun. Steve’s sister flew in from Chicago, surprised their extended family at a birthday party, and then hung around with us all weekend! We made our way to DeltavilleContinue reading “Time In The Sun”

Hello there, readers! Hope all is well. This past week has been a good one with beautiful weather (until our very rainy day today), sleepovers on the boat, and finally putting the jib back up! We’ve been enjoying this 90 degree weather, but it has been a bit muggy with the incoming rain, so we’reContinue reading “Find Something Good”

Happy Tuesday, readers! It has been a long week with our COVID positive test results, but we made it through the CDC recommended guidelines of quarantining and we are now symptomless and much much better. We watched a lot of New Girl and a couple of really good movies (The Replacements and The Guardian) ,Continue reading “Dreaming of Adventures to Come”
