Let’s talk about sea turtles for a minute. Are you aware of how awesome these dudes are? This summer while we were in Marathon (in the Florida Keys), we got a chance to catch up with the Marathon Turtle Hospital and record a segment for our Junior Captains... read more by Allison | Aug 11, 2015 | Life Aboard, Logbook | 2 Comments
Bo tells me often that I have mule-like tendencies. I *may* have received this feedback other times in life as well. I consider it a character “trait” that can come in handy at times. My particular breed of mule has a real problem with inefficienties. I... read more by Bo | Aug 7, 2015 | 2015, Florida, Logbook, Posts | 1 Comment
Note: While Allison and I are both currently traveling for work, we’re going to wrap up the posts of our travels this summer. We ended up in Stuart, Florida a few weeks ago, as you’re about to read… After sleeping off Saturday’s festivities, we... read more by Allison | Aug 2, 2015 | Logbook, Posts | 12 Comments
Not at the gym. But in life. I am currently sitting in a cozy room at the swankiest of hotels in Qatar. Sipping a glass of wine and eating a salad. Mostly because a classy romper I wore at the wedding a mere 120 days ago is uncomfortably TIGHT today. So it is salads... read more by Bo | Jul 30, 2015 | 2015, Florida, Life Aboard, Logbook, On the 'Gram, Posts | 2 Comments
Ok, where were we. Between the trip to Azerbaijan and telling you about the dinghy, it’s hard to keep up. Oh, that’s right…we’d just gotten to West Palm Beach, Florida and had a wonderful dinner with my Auburn friends Katie, Preston, and... read more by Allison | Jul 28, 2015 | 2015, Florida, Life Aboard, Logbook, Video | 10 Comments
I must preface this post by telling you a secret. The dinghy and I are in a fight. More specifically – the outboard motor for the dinghy and I are in a fight. As in, he won’t start for me. Flat out refuses to in fact. I typically end each session crying... read more by Bo | Jul 24, 2015 | Logbook | 2 Comments
“Wait. You’re where?!” “Where’s that??” That’s what I’ve been hearing a lot lately. Last Friday we left the boat in Stuart, Florida, I caught a plane out of West Palm Beach and landed 27 hours later in Baku, Azerbaijan.... read more by Bo | Jul 22, 2015 | 2015, Florida, Logbook | 0 Comments
A few weeks ago, one of our Facebook posts elicited a comment from a friend of mine from Auburn that said something like “Let me know if you come to West Palm Beach! We’d love to hang out and y’all are welcome to stay at the house.”. At the... read more by Bo | Jul 20, 2015 | 2015, Florida, Logbook, Posts | 0 Comments
Once the sun rose over No Name Harbor, we pulled back out into the Atlantic and pointed due north past Miami. There’s a bridge in Miami on the ICW that is too short for us to fit under, so offshore is the only way to go. Once you get north of that bridge,... read more by Bo | Jul 16, 2015 | 2015, Florida, Logbook | 1 Comment
Last we left you, we were headed up from Boot Key Harbor towards Miami. I didn’t get much sleep anchored at Rodriguez Key. It took us two times to get the anchor set, which almost never happens, and I wasn’t fully convinced it set the second time. So when... read more by Allison | Jul 13, 2015 | Logbook | 7 Comments
Our boat was christened as “Selah” hours before we pulled out of Orange Beach, AL to begin our trip in May 2015. I (allison) picked the name and convinced Bo that it was a great boat name. Previously I had convinced him of a different boat name – so... read more by Allison | Jul 10, 2015 | 2015, Florida, Life Aboard, Logbook | 4 Comments
Life on Selah this week has been really good. 3 months of a lot of work and tears has finally paid off this week. I think Bo and I were both breathing a sign of relief. We were able to do some of the things that I had hoped “sailboat life” would include.... read more by Allison | Jul 8, 2015 | 2015, Florida, Logbook, Posts | 3 Comments
We pulled out of Boot Key Harbor in Marathon, FL on Sunday – headed north and east. Bo (and certainly my lovely self) has never sailed these waters before – so every day is a learning day! Marathon is apparently the “Cruiser’s mecca” and... read more by Bo | Jul 6, 2015 | 2015, Florida, Logbook, Posts | 10 Comments
Where did the summer go? As you should know by now, cruiser’s plans are ever changing. We knew when we left Orange Beach back in May that our hope was to get to the Keys and possibly Bahamas, before working our way up the East Coast in time to dock the boat... read more by Allison | Jun 30, 2015 | 2015, Logbook, Posts | 6 Comments
I sat in traffic the other day. In a car. With air conditioning. And it was awesome! I loved every minute of that traffic. Funny how our perspective shifts so rapidly. Three months ago I was with the billions of other people who whine on the daily about Atlanta... read more by Allison | Jun 24, 2015 | 2015, Florida, Logbook, Posts, Storms | 18 Comments
I don’t really do fear. I have no time for it and typically punch it in the teeth and move on. I am flippant at best, and probably reckless at worst, but I just don’t tolerate fear. People who live in fear kinda annoy me and if I can stay in the game with... read more by Allison | Jun 22, 2015 | Logbook, Posts | 14 Comments

The pizza. Oh, the pizza. We had a great stop in Venice (our old stomping grounds a la two months ago). We managed to eat at our favorite pizza joint twice, hit up the farmers market, and do a killer TRX workout, all within a 24 hour period. We had a nice lazy... read more by Allison | Jun 9, 2015 | Logbook | 3 Comments
#1. We had the best send off crowd! They followed us out of the marina and waved until we could not seem them any more. #awesome 2. We sucked at fishing. Catch the past tense? In my 36 years on this planet I had never witnessed a person catching a fish in real life.... read more by Bo | Jun 5, 2015 | 2015, Florida, Logbook | 0 Comments
We had no trouble sleeping Monday night at anchor. Tuesday morning we woke up to a rainy day, but wanted to fuel up and move anchorages anyway. We waited for a break in the drizzle & made our way over to Clearwater Beach Marina to fill the tanks. After doing the... read more by Bo | Jun 3, 2015 | 2015, Alabama, Florida, Logbook, Posts | 0 Comments
Last Saturday we pulled out of the marina at noon, waving to our send off party aboard Capt. Randy’s boat and made it about two hours down the Intracoastal Waterway to Big Lagoon in Pensacola before dropping the hook. The last week had been a whirlwind of boat... read more
