“Thru-hulls? Oh, hush! Nothing goes through my hull.” You gotta love Mitch! And every other new boat owner out there who is in that particular stage of boat-buying grief: Denial. When he thinks he is the only person in the world who just bought a boat that can’t sink. As Phillip and I are preparing … Read more Pack Smart, Pack Safe & Book Giveaway #3
“You are not writing about this,” was his only caveat, when Phillip and I agreed to do the delivery. I knew I shouldn’t have given him a copy of None Such Like It when he was boat-shopping.

Kids I need help. It’s obvious. I crack myself up with the stupid questions I keep asking in these boat tours. I have to admit it is far more difficult than I imagined to both 1) keep an engaging conversation going with the boat owner, while also making sure I 2) hold the camera steady, … Read more BOAT TOUR QUESTIONS!
