Full Circle
This year, we have come full circle. 360 degrees, if you will, since setting out for seas unknown and then returning to the place that feels like home. Or a difference of 100 degrees if we are talking about the swing in temperature between last Christmas in Jamaica or this Christmas in the frosty Northwest.

2013 saw us depart Jamaica for the Windward Passage, a float through the idyllic Bahamian Islands, the rivers and wetlands of Florida, a mechanically-challenged cross-country road trip, the decision to continue living aboard Silver Lining, the ‘summer of love’ (8 weddings!), Ashley’s return to work, and Elan’s search for the next big thing.

Here are some pictures from the last few weeks.

I have always wanted to hang Christmas lights up the mast, and we finally did it this year for the first time.

Whether on sea or land, we are so grateful to live a life of adventure and be surrounded by people we love. We wish you the Merriest Christmas and all the best for 2014.
