Back to Guaymas, Sonora, Mexico December 31, 2013 —> January 12, 2014 Hi guys! It’s Claire. I decided I would tell you about our arrival to Guaymas and so on. We arrived at Mariana Seca Guaymas also known as the boatyard, and so perfectly named “camp dirt”, on new years eve. We were welcomed by our […]
12/27 – Left Lafayette, Louisiana around 15:30. Taking the I-10 West. 12/28 – Pulled into Kerr County rest stop mile post 514 2:30AM slept in the front seat til 8:30AM when we were woken up by an RV driver. We were blocking the poop pump. Hopped right back onto I-10 West and rode til 18:00 […]
12/24 – Left Destin, Florida at 13:30 and got to Breaux Bridge, Louisiana around 21:30. We rented a Bayou Cabin for our Christmas! Crazy to think that this time last year we were anchored off Cabo San Lucas. 12/25 – Christmas morning in cabin on Bayou Teche. Family meal with Claire’s Father’s cousins. The Copeland […]
Ok… So if you haven’t noticed there’s been talk of a trailer. We left Splendid Isolation behind in Guaymas Mexico back in May. Purchasing a 1983 Volvo and road-tripping across country to our home town of Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. Where we worked nonstop for 7 months saving every single dollar, so that we could […]
Here’s a re-cap of Florida… tons of photos for your viewing pleasure. Dec. 16&17 – Hung out with Wolfman and Lynnette. Confusion with trailer. Called all over from Galveston, Texas to East Coast Florida checking prices. B&G; is our best option. Booked Bayou Cabins for Christmas. Dec. 18 – Claire’s 22nd Birthday! We went out […]
12/12 – 12/15 Claire and I are staying at my Grandparent’s house in Edgewater, Florida. My old friend Mike the Wolfman happily lives down here too with his girlfriend Lynnette. Like Claire and myself, he too grew up on the Outer Banks. It’s nice to be back in some warm weather, it was getting way […]
12/14 My Grandmother, Grandfather, Claire, and I took a short drive down to Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge. ~[link] A vast area of land left protected surrounding Cape Canaveral and the NASA station. “Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge was established in 1963 as an overlay of NASA’s John F. Kennedy Space Center. Consisting of 140,000 acres, […]
12/7 Departed 16:00 We finally left the Outer Banks after 6 months! We originally planned on leaving mid-October to be back in Mexico for Dias de los Muertos. But we hadn’t really met our goal of savings with money, plus we thought it’d be nice to stay a little extra with our families and friends. […]
November consisted of finishing up work at roadside, our trip to NY, but mostly just packing, cleaning, and organizing of our belongings. We left a good amount of the stuff we hauled back from the boat in our parents attics. We moved into my sister Christina and brother-in-law Johnny’s house in Kilmarlic, Powell’s Point, NC. […]
We were lucky enough to have two Thanksgiving’s this year! Claire and I are pretty used to being away from family on holidays, whether it be because of work, travel, or just living long distance. We decided to stay on the Outer Banks over a month longer than we originally planned, to spend a big […]
