This week we share some of the ups and downs of life aboard while waiting for a weather window to sail west. One of the greatest gifts of boat life has been meeting incredible cruising families and watching our kids form lasting friendships—learning to stay connected across distances and rekindling bonds when we meet again. Grenada has been both rewarding and challenging, but it’s given us experiences we’ll always be grateful for. I also tackled a new project—finishing our bow shade—which we’ll test out soon (with fingers crossed that it fits!). As always, thanks for following along on our journey. Some weeks are more adventurous than others, but we’ll continue to share honest reflections of what it’s really like living the boat life.
