After following out boating adventures for a couple months, one of our friends (a friend who travels frequently in an Airstream) asked us that question. It's a good question. From the perspective of RV travel it probably seems like a lot of moving. When we're on the road with the…

This was the sunrise yesterday morning from our anchorage in Griffin Bay (off of San Juan Island): I know, I was awake for another sunrise. It's not that weird though, since sunrise was at 7:54am yesterday. Right behind us, the moon was slowly setting. Seriously, these were taken within minutes…

We took the quadcopter and hiked out to the lighthouse on Alden Point for some more fun aerial footage. Oh hey seals! In this photo, there's one seal looking straight up at the copter. You might have to click for an enlargement, but it's pretty cute. Another cove-side campsite (Patos…

This morning as we were working and having coffee, I noticed out the back window what looked like a pretty big boat heading toward the cove. This is a pretty small cove (only two mooring buoys), and this boat seemed, um, large. It showed up on AIS as a vessel…

The inside of Airship was bathed in the most amazing light during this morning's sunrise: pinks, oranges, yellows…a nice way to start the work day! (That's Orcas Island, in the far distance.) Kevin just said "People are going to think that photo is fake." Me: "Why??" Him: "Because, you? Up…
