May 2-5, 2015 Taylor Outfall Bayou was our first taste of “freedom” again. A feeling of relief and excitement all at the same time. We had made it out of the comfort zone of a marina, leaving yet another life we had started behind. As Michael set the hook I re-introduced myself to our trusty […]
With our slip lease coming to an end, we cut dock lines and set sail across Galveston Bay. Jumping off seems to be the hardest part of cruising for people to comprehend, a reason most never leave their marinas to travel. Claire and I try to look at it more in a sense that […]
April 26 – 28, 2015 A year has passed since we last moved our home. The longest we have stayed stationary since we purchased Splendid Isolation in January of 2011. Deciding together that this time was needed to continue our upgrades and plan our trip East, quickly we got to work. Although the boat requires […]

David and I have been working on the menu for Eculent. We plan to get all of our beef from 44Farms a few hours away in Cameron, TX. They only breed the best of the best Black Angus. We drove out and took a tour of their cattle ranch. We were impressed to say […]
So we closed the restaurant doors the first week of May. Since then David (the owner), Camillo (the craftsman), and myself have been tearing apart the dining room. Renovating the front pass, installing electrical outlets, building booths, hanging light fixtures, installing custom track lighting, installing flatscreen “framed photos”, covering the wall in greenery, installing scent […]

June, 2014 My mother came to visit Claire and myself here in Texas. She can get quite adventurous when it comes to her yearly visit. Her last visit to […]
