Last ocean sunrise for another 2 months while we are on land. I miss this already! - Mike
Spending a night at a beautiful anchorage in The Bahamas to take a break from some rough weather over the past two days! We enjoyed a much needed cocktail and some sleep without rolling into the shelves 😅 200nm left to go!!

Lightning out at sea is both beautiful and terrifying! Happy to see this storm moving along! ⚡️

Two years ago today, Deanna and I pledged our lives to each other in epic snowmobile adventure wedding ceremony. Surrounded by my kids, our families, close friends (and Waylon and June!) we rode to the top of the mountain in Steamboat Springs only to find a white out blizzard and be forced to our plan B location further down the mountain. Deanna was the most beautiful bride ever (ok I know I am biased but it’s true!) as she rode her snowmobile to our makeshift “aisle”. We were married in a white wintry wonderland while committing to a life of love, laughter, and adventure. We celebrate our two year anniversary in a very different climate today as we are on the final leg of our passage to Florida. We are so grateful to God for bringing us together Into our families and friends for supporting our crazy adventures. Happy Anniversary!!!

We made an overnight stop in St. Thomas and had the pleasure of hanging out with some familiar faces! We had a great dinner and listened to the crazy fun & incredible @willowhillmusic! They had such a unique sound and were a joy to listen to - highly recommend giving them a listen on Spotify!
We have set sail once again and are on the FINAL leg of our journey!! We should arrive in Ft. Lauderdale in 5-6 days. We are really looking forward to seeing our people and our animals, but are getting even more excited about “officially” moving into our new home in a couple of months once Sojourner has her upgrades completed (thanks to @maz_ocean)!

We dropped anchor for the first time! Our last night in Antigua was one that gave us the first taste of what life will be like! Mike grilled burgers 🤤, we swam in the beautiful turquoise water, and kicked back enjoying life on the hook. We are beyond excited to start sharing the experience with friends and family - a few short months away!

After 3 hours at customs and the threat of a $20k fine (Mike was his ultimate patient and humble Mike and talked the lady out of it!) we have arrived!!! Apparently being at sea and provisioning overseas makes you especially grateful for grocery store items you recognize! We may have overdone it!
