Sand Dunes and Camping
Once we left Cheyenne, we headed south to the Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve, in the southern portion of Colorado. I’ve seen sand dunes before, just north of Rock Springs, WY, there’s a batch of sand dunes. Great Sand Dunes is a bit different though. To see the mountains, trees, a couple of rivers,… Continue reading

What’s next?! I haven’t written since our trip to see One Life and load her up with some stuff from the house…but by now, school’s out. So what are we up to?

One Life — Part II
We made the decision to go to One Life for Spring Break. Sandy and I drove for about 30 hours and had some great experiences cross country driving. It’s something we haven’t done in a long time.

Loss
Last weekend we traveled to Connecticut to attend my grandmother’s funeral. She was 95 and died peacefully in her sleep. Although I hadn’t seen her in 5 years, I did talk to her several times a year, probably not as much as I could have, but we did talk. Reflecting back, her initial reaction to… Continue reading

One Lobster
About five years ago, a spearfisherman was fishing for lobster near his anchorage in the Bahamas. Diving in the turquoise blue waters that surround the Bahamian Islands, he had a very productive day. After returning to his catamaran, he and his wife knew that they had an extra lobster that they wouldn’t eat that day. … Continue reading

The Universe, Lessons, and Lifelines
Preface from Jon: Sailing Pivo recently posted about some of the hopes and dreams that she had when they moved to the sailing life. In Debunking Myths, Daniella observes that if you don’t some work to change yourself, you aren’t likely to feel any real true life satisfaction with just a change in scenery. That’s… Continue reading
