For several weeks I've been trying to decide how to start the first post on our blog and it seemed appropriate to begin with a little background about my husband Bert and myself. Last fall Living Aboard Magazine was kind enough to publish a short article I wrote which provides some background about us and our story. You can click on the picture to enlarge it and read the article.
This is a story of a couple on the Great Loop who "Took the Plunge" by moving aboard full time to motor their vessel to the Gulf of Mexico from Michigan in 2012. Once there they "Simplified" and moved on from the Gulf to the Florida coast of the Atlantic Ocean in 2016. After nine years, and on the move again, plain to finish out the Loop, aboard "Make Me Smile" in the spring of 2025.
