Intro Chat

We have we been? Last show was after hurricane Irma last September. As much as we wanted to get some shows out, we have been too busy with other activities. We have done a couple boat trips, Cocoa beach area, St. Johns river trip over new years weekend. Gasparilla pirate weekend in Indian Rocks Beach. Steve even built a cannon for the boat! No wonder we don't put out podcasts!

Steve took over two additional areas at work so he is spending a lot of time in Atlanta and Nashville.

And we have been busy with non-boat travel with trips to the Smoky Mountains, Nashville and Las Vegas

We have an upcoming trip to the Abacos in the Bahamas, Marsh Harbour and Hope Town / Elbow Cay

Steve re-started work on his sailing canoe and we hope to be sailing it before year end.

Brandy receive great news on her leukemia and we are praying that she will be off her medication by the end of the year and truly cancer free!

Brandy started a new health and fitness business. If you are interested in a great workout and nutrition program then send her a note at [email protected]

TSR033 Hurricane Irma

In this episode we talk about our experience during hurricane Irma. The remnants of the eye went right over our house around 2:30am on 9/11/17.

The British Virgin Islands were hit hard by the hurricane and they need your help. We donated to a fund started by Scott and Brittney Meyers from the Windtraveler blog. Every dollar raised goes to help the local community. Please give something, even small amounts help. https://www.youcaring.com/bviimmediaterelief-943806

Scott and Brittney along with their friends and co-business partners Peter and Jody from the Where the Coconuts Grow blog, lost their boat homes and the catamarans the owned for their day charter business in the BVI. Please take a moment to send them a message of support on their blogs or Facebook. They are providing great support to the BVI community in the midst of them losing everything they own.

We were lucky not to have any damage to our home or the boat.

See our blog post here for all the pictures

TSR035 Salt & Tar

In this episode, we interview Ruth and Garrett from the Salt and Tar YouTube channel where they have spent the last three years building a traditional 35 foot gaff rigged ketch.

Brandy is growing her fitness and nutrition business. We are working on a new website but if you are interested in a great program for eating better and staying in shape contact her at [email protected] or [email protected]

Just saw an article that says only 23% of the people in the United States get the recommended amount of exercise to stay healthy. It's the end of June and if you said this was the year you were going to get in shape and you have not got that habit started yet , then get started this week.

Interview

I have been watching Ruth and Garrett from the Salt & Tar YouTube channel for about the last six months. They are on the third year of building their own 35' traditional wood gaff rigged ketch. This will be their sixth boat and the are still in their 20's. We talk about how they have been able to buy fixer upper boats, do the work, and sell them for a profit to build up to their current boat.

You can see the design a Button #2 by George Buehler here.

Product of the Week

We recently upgraded the queen size foam mattress on our boat and it is awesome. The mattress was recommended by some friends who bought it on Amazon for the boat and it is super comfy. We have had several trips with the new mattress and we get a great nights sleep.
