A little update on what’s up with us. Where we have been and what we have been up to. We have been absent for a while, busy with life and blog issues. Well, let’s get into it. Oh! and If you are new to the blog here are a couple of previous posts. Click here or here.

Hurricane Season

Well, it has been a long HOT summer with not a whole to post about. I had a lot of issues with the company I host my blog through and after months and months, things are finally sorted and back on track.

With the blog being down so long I had a lot of work to get it back in shape again. More on that later in the post.

So, before you start seeing posts again I thought it was best to update everyone first.

What’s up where we are

We spent this hurricane season back down in Grenada again. We stayed in Port Louis Marina this season. The marina was the best option this summer with what we had going on.

It made it a lot easier to get the dogs on and off the boat for walks several times a day. It also made it easier in case Dave had work he was working on. This way I could take the dogs myself much more easily.

The pups loved the break in a marina and the countless walks hunting for lizards. Generally, we got out and walked 4 times a day. The only downside was no beach time. We made up for it when we left the marina and spent several weeks in Carriacou.

In Carriacou, we had loads of beach time, hauled the boat out for new bottom paint, and took a break from the boat. While the boat was on the hard we rented an apartment for a week. It was a nice change to boat life.

Where we are headed

Now that hurricane season is over we are working our way north. Our insurance lets us start moving north after November 1st.

So, that is exactly what we have done. Of course, we are spending some quality time in some of our favorite spots.

Stocking up on French food, pastries, rum, and of course, wine is a must on our list of things to do.

The Blog

With all the downtime and issues I had with the blog, it got severely outdated. I have spent a lot of time updating everything to get it back in order again.

With that, I am starting to add in some things that I have always wanted to post including recipes, some of my passage-making recipes, Sourdough info, fermentation on a boat, more info on pups on a boat, things we use and love on the boat, and much more. Please let me know if there are things you want to see on the blog that I am not posting and I will try and include them if possible.

So, I am going to start sharing those things on the blog sprinkled in. I have also been able to get a bit ahead enabling me to stay more consistent.

I will still be posting things we are doing and seeing so don’t worry about that.

In Conclusion

That is pretty much the news on what’s up with us. It’s great to be back online again. It is also wonderful to be out of the marina sailing and experiencing new things. We will see you next week.

Cheers,

Jill
