The first Outbound 46 we looked at! 🧐 (This was back in January). We’re the crazy people who consider a boat covered in snow. And this was obviously a bit further north than Pensacola, FL. Anyone want to guess where the first stop in our Outbound hunt was? 🤔😳⛄️ #havewindwilltravel #outbound46 #boatshopping #cold

After we made the tough decision to sell our wonderful 1985 Niagara 35 and get a newer, more complex boat, the next tough decision was what kind of boat (length, model, age, etc.) would prove itself the perfect boat for us. After some serious soul-searching (and boat porn ogling) we finally settled on ... (drumroll please) ... the Outbound 46!🙌😍 Read more on the blog up at HaveWindWillTravel today to learn more about our decision.

Although it was my 39th I honestly still feel 23. Happy recent birthday to this sailor! 🎂 🥳 It was super cool to spend it with my amazing brother, John, and his partner MyL in Chicago (who was the conspiratorial force behind this surprise cake and candles). It was the first time I’d seen my brother since the pandemic and the first time I’ve blown out candles (trust me I demolished them all, you’ve heard my conch howls!) since I was 13. What a life. It only goes faster but the more I look back I only feel prouder. I’ve had a helluva run and my best chapter still ahead! 🎂 🥳 #havewindwilltravel #birthday #happybirthday

The Tipping Point! Is It Time for a New Boat? It just might be! Check out our post today up at HaveWind to see what factors guided our decision and our short, shifting list for "must-haves" for a new (or slightly used) boat for us. Boy, was this a tough decision, but life is short, wild, and exceptionally good! It was time to shift with the times. Phillip and I are excited to share this journey with you!

Have Wind Will Travel toooo ... anyone know where Annie is at here? I went to visit my brother over the long weekend. What an amazing trip! 🤯😍😁 #havewindwilltravel

Clamp Quiz! I just learned something new about these two different types of hose clamps (perforated versus embossed) that is worth sharing! While I knew the non-perforated clamps were better, stronger, I'll admit I didn't know precisely why. I now know of THREE specific reasons that make the embossed clamp the better choice. Can anyone name those three (or provide others?). I love to learn! Clamp Quiz on 3. 1, 2 ... GO! #havewindwilltravel #learning #boatproject #hoseclamps
