We’ve been getting lots of questions over the past few months on how our composting head is working out for us, so after a lot of use and a few modifications, we share how it has been working out for us.

WARNING: If you do not like a lot of talking or projects being explained, this is not the episode for you.

Matt shows off his skills with the oscillating tool as we bring the tiller to the correct length and then add an adjustable extension; and he begins his multiple rounds of going up and down the mast.
We’ve encountered a few issues with our tri-light, and no matter how many times we (Matt) goes up to address it, our solutions keep failing.

Cheers from the marina!

As Hurricane Irma bears down on Florida, we watch the marina become a ghost town and prepare ourselves for the worst while hoping for the best.

With not much to do the day before the storm, we hang around the patio and take in all the news reports we can handle until we’re sick of the news and begin our hurricane party instead. It’s a good thing we got all that running around out of our systems, because come storm day there was no getting off the boat for us.

Staying on board through the entire storm, we listened to winds howl outside as we heeled over in the darkness, with no power at the marina, and not much clue to what was happening outside our hull. How did we fare? Watch the episode to find out!

Cheers from our hurricane hole!

We get back from our shakedown cruise, ready to bury ourselves in boat work…only to find there’s a hurricane headed our way!

Every day we’d watch the news in anticipation to see how Irma would impact us. From just a blip on the radar to threatening to roll right over us, we had a lot of planning and preparation to do on the boat.

From stripping off the sales, to replacing hatch seals, and even sending our beloved Georgie out of Florida and harm’s way, we show you how we prepared Elements of Life for a hurricane.

Cheers from our hurricane hole!
