Woke up to a thick blanket of fog, no sunrise to be had. Drank morning coffee standing up since the layer of clouds occupied all the seats outside. Couldn’t see the street or any buildings other than the dock house. Water was a dark void, still as glass. Past daybreak the sun started to play …

An unexpected place to call home
After years of working and saving, (and a little loving convincing) we finally made a significant purchase to fulfill a tiny littledream. A 1991, 28ft Hunter sailboat. Willow is her name, she was perfect. Not quite what we originally intended, and with only a few minor flaws, she felt right for what we needed. A …
It has been a long, long road
Said goodbye to the moody northwest beaches of Washington state, crossed the mountains. Hit up a few roadside hikes and scenic points across the country. Visited family along the way, landing after nearly a full month in the bright white beaches of southeast Florida. What a drastic change. Another chapter in the journey of life …

When the world starts dropping hints to move on, you move on. As exactly 2 years pass by, another chapter coming to an end, decided to open up the laptop for some keyboard action. This first statement started as a draft, exactly 2 years ago. Strange how things fall into place sometimes. But boy did …
World of Tidepools (Part II)
This cloudy day did not disappoint our curiosities. The smallest things are often the most interesting if you take the time to slow down and zoom in on what’s below. Rocky ancient looking creatures chitons are a common find. They do not often stick out and appear more like fossils than living creatures. Most would …
World of tidepools (Part I)
Walking the edge of two colliding worlds. Waiting for the tide to temporarilly subside long enough to poke around a unique world of strange creatures and mini landscapes. A facinating change from the usual land dwelling friends we live around. A single cloudy afternoon during a week of heavy rain and wind would turn out …
The Coast is Calling
There is something about the ocean that keeps pulling us toward it. Being on the coast is like standing at the edge of a world we barely understand. Even those that dive, surf, or sail around the world have only expeirenced a small fraction of what thrives below the surface. Seeing the power of the …
Basic Van Dwelling Needs
A basic subject that comes up in Van, RV, or tiny home life is where do you have all your stuff? Well first off, you simple have less stuff. After some long thoughts and life re-evaluations everything just had to go. Decided what we couldn’t live without, packed up and drove away. Most things will …
Fluffy Fresh
A few fresh photos while that fluffy white stuff was around. Enjoy! There we had a few sexy trees and a few below the ankle shots. And now a not so distant view across the lake. Gray days definitely have their charm. So what would you rather read about from a minimalist perspective, a list …
Mini Story of a Daily Walk
With all the extra Halloween goodies on clearance I had forgot about this mini story that happened back in October. Even with a simple laidback lifestyle it gets busy to keep up with this new found blogging business. October walk in the park. Ducks bathing, squirrels frolicking, turtles sunning. Walking along a path and come …
