A little more real-talk on this latest episode of the Drop Anchor Podcast. Still a lot of laughs, but we go through some of the emotional challenges of adjusting your traditions to fit a life at sea.

Gosh, it’s been a million years since I logged into this account. Lots of new stuff. But the big important once is that I wrote a novel and got it published. No big deal. But you should check it out:
Oh hey! It's only been... 9 MONTHS since I last tweeted. That's long enough to have a BABY! (we did not have a baby)
But, we are about to start recording again. I think. It's been so crazy, moving back to land, buying a 100 year old house and... RENOVATING. Wild. Busy.
Hi!
You... printed our tweet? That's amazing. Thanks for the recognition!

We're still trying to find time to record as we transition from boat life to home life. It's been quite a flurry of activity, and a lot of emotional ups and downs over the whole thing.
If you've been following along and know our story, you'll know that we've moved. A lot. Like, we've been back in Washington for 4 years, and this house will be the 5th place we've lived in. Literally. Maybe "Drop Anchor" is really about trying to find home.
"Malicious mischief" often involves things like smashed windows, spray painting windows... but when you live in a marina, it's... different. This morning, we woke up to a call stating that a couple of big boats had been untied in the night and were drifting up the Puget Sound!
Looks like the podcast will be taking a very sharp turn in a new direction. It looks like we're moving off the boat. Long story. But it's just another chapter in the adventure of our family!
The weirdest thing about changing careers during the time of covid is that my work-from-home office with the old job will still be my work-from-home office when the new job starts on Monday!
I've been really busy working on my novel, and also getting more work done on my @geckoSails podcast episodes. I know I've been quiet here on this account, but rest-assured, the show is still going on. Latest episode is live:

It's our 1-year recap!
Hey! We are presently ranked #109 in #Canada under #personaljournals on iTunes/apple-podcasts.
Thanks, Canadian friends! Reviews and shares are appreciated! :D
We wondered who would be the first member of this boat-family to fall into the water.
Wonder no more. It was me.
I may need to head over to urgent care for a tweaked ankle, (not the surgery ankle from last year) but other than, I'm good.
