Kemah, TX
We just purchased our dreamboat a Privilege 495! Just 6 years ago we had a crazy idea to close our home inspecting business in Texas and move to Colorado to start an animal chiropractic business. We then bought 70 acres of raw land. Over the years we built a plantation style house, entirely by ourselves with no crew, strictly with the intentions of selling it almost new. Luckily we were able to sell the chiropractic business too, which wasnβt in the plans originally but we found a niche when in Colorado with all the horse owners. So, half the land is sold with the house, still have half for sell, and with the business sold, we officially were able to buy the catamaran outright and retire in our early 40s. Yes, we have a human table for chiropractic in case you see us and need a tune-up! Our two oldest sons are out of the house already (we were both military and had them early) and our 15 year old son will be circumnavigating with us at least until he is 18. And for the moment we have our two cats, Brucey (18) and Church (5). Join us as we do this crazy adventure! Chris: Commercial pilot, turned home inspector to home builder and USAF veteran Steph: Human and animal chiropractor, marine biologist and retired USAF veteran Silas: cool dude, gamer, wannabe sigma
Just hanging out on anchor βοΈ the last 30 hours or so with 20 knot winds and gusts in the 30-40s Just the cool breeze is nice!!! π₯Ά
The boys being handsome! Church and Brucey just living life!
Met a manatee we named Bobby and saw some beautiful spoonbills near Cats Paw marina. Although in Galveston we saw many spoonbills, they never cease to amaze me. As for Bobby, he was the coolest guy ever! He made our day!!!
Bodyboarding while the hurricane is offshore, free umbrella βοΈ found in good condition, and just hanging at the beach! Another fun day in St Augustineπ΄
When you are parked so close to a sandbar....that you can swim to the big boat! π€
Finally got over the fear of destroying the husband's and kiddo's heads and watched some YouTube videos on how to cut hair πββοΈ ! Here is the link I used to quickly learn. https://youtu.be/J9cmcNn8BLI?si=k_dH32bXndq7he86 They look so much better, and probably feel 10 pounds lighter lol π
Waiting out hurricane Erin and headed to town to enjoy the day!
Kitties enjoying nightly yard time on the "Funbag"
Just a little sight seeing to get off the boat π€ and explore π³ βͺοΈ π°
Was so lucky to be right by Cape Canaveral last night at the perfect time to see a launch π Chris was going crazy knowing we were technically in the debris zone.... but we made it out unscathed and fascinated!!! We are here and unsure how long we will be here, kinda all depends on what TS Erin decides she wants to do! π
Enjoying the days in West Palm Beach before we head up north to St. Augustine Day three: (today) go to the grocery store, buy the wife a kindle because she reads too fast and runs out of books, buy a better blender and finish the 120 V line to the inverter so we can use the blender and the washing machine finally! Oh, and replace the secondary outdoor shower head πΏ
Enjoying the days in West Palm Beach before we head up north to St. Augustine Second stop Manatee Lagoon
Enjoying the days in West Palm Beach before we head up north to St. Augustine First stop Peanut island
We are tucked away here waiting out the rain that is supposed to start and then we will head to St Augustine Enjoying the clear water one last time for the season! ποΈ
Made it to Key Largo! What a day sail! 6 foot nasty waves and wind right on the nose. It was uncomfortable but we did it! Do not know how long we will be here, but next stop is St Augustine... First we must tackle the no smell filter in the master bedroom that smells like a ripe lift station at the moment π€’ had to remove the hanging clothes before they rot lol! When you open the closet door the septic smell knocks you down
We are leaving Bahia Honda about 5 am and heading to Key Largo for a few days...only because of the dreaded heat dome π₯΅ they keep talking about on the news. Top of Florida looks too hot for the next few days, but it is Florida in the summer so maybe not the greatest excuse to go to Key Largo. At least we can use the scuba stuff one more time! π€Ώ Who really needs an excuse to go to Key Largo? ποΈ π π
We tried running the generator last night only to get a fault to the power and a smell of burnt nastiness... woke up this morning and crisis diverted! We removed the "GFCI like" part of the circuit breaker component which was melted, and seems to be working fine. We will keep an eye on and upgrade with a busbar and properly fix when we get further up the coast
Reshaved πͺ Church and attempted to shave old man Brucey. Church is happy to be de-fuffed but poor Bren looks like he got into a fight with mange and lost lol π But at least the fur is shorter and nether of them will be hot π₯΅ Poor Brucey is so skinny at his 19 years but still has so much life in him!
Goodbye Key West! Now we start the short little hops up to St Augustine to see @kwylie76 before heading north. Instead of fueling up at the fuel dock β½οΈ we saved 1.50 a gallon by going on base which took an entire day going back and forth, but worth the monetary savings. Plus a lot of sweat and walking just means we worked off the Key Lime pie π₯§ πβπ© @SilasParent
Will park here for the night Nice beach access ποΈ and we are all alone out here on βοΈ
