@astuhan I believe this is a charcoal rubbing of a real salmon? It’s almost as big as she is! She loved getting a birthday gift from her favorite fisherman - thank you 🥰

The best and worst thing to have on a kid boat is a band of child musicians. It’s truly magical watching their styles develop and also mildly maddening to have three kids simultaneously whistling different tunes 😜

This is the fourth... fifth? 30+ knot night this winter. It’s becoming normal and that’s sooo good for my nerves. The first time or two last year were less than optimal. I kept waking up to babysit the docklines and secure the halyards and talking to Willow like a crazy person. I used to mutter “it’s gunna be ok willow old girl” over and over while scanning the boat for issues. Now I finally trust her and sleep like a baby 😴

When you’re growing up on a boat you can only walk to the lighthouse in the rain so many times. Eventually you’re trapped inside by your evil mom to warm up and do homework (aka be tortured 🙄). #boatkidproblems

I get to see this lady in just a few days! Can’t wait to tell dumb jokes and see our weirdo kids hit it off just like we did 20 years ago!

Our boat is bobbing in this crazy surge but we’re snug as bugs in our little family forward cabin. My husband is even happily snoring as I write this, haha. Hope you’re all staying warm and dry too!

Our friends on S/V Odyle made it to Morro Bay and docked beside Lady Washington! Missing them but so happy to see them start their circumnavigation!

This tree. It’s heaven for the kiddos but it’s also the reason why my entire body is covered in poison oak right now. Worth it!

S/V willow finally getting some wind time! Windows done, epoxying floors today, next epoxying all of the lockers. Lots and lots and lots of fumes 🤪

One of the only times when our girls are quiet. And if a boat goes by with someone they know on it then the silence is shattered 😂
