I saw the three of them (Rebecca, Steve, and the boat) this last weekend. It’s every bit as magical as she has described. 🩵

I keep thinking there's a fun series about "people making ridiculous meals in tiny places" — boats, NYC apartments, planes, etc!

We had some friends over last weekend to sail and one of them said my boat galley is just like a NYC apartment kitchen! So, perhaps that series is coming right up!

You’ve leveled up from RV to sailboat! That’s next-tier teamwork. You got this!

Thank you! Our sailing is improving every day and we're figuring out how to make our small space work for us!

The change/improvement in communication is huge. I wrote an article about that for Business Insider. One thing I didn't see coming but am so grateful to have worked out during our years aboard. Sounds like you're getting your sea legs quickly! 👏👏

We sailed all weekend with a boat full of friends and it was absolutely fantastic. We're improving every time we go out. I'm so glad we decided to take the leap and just go for it! And yes- communication is a really big deal when sailing. I'm not sure we've ever done anything that's pushing us this hard to be crystal clear communicators. I would love to read the article you wrote... is it available somewhere?

Try this link: https://www.businessinsider.com/tiny-house-couple-lives-boat-dangerous-storms-2024-10. It's my attempt at a companion piece to my memoir, so that I'd have a little something out there before I start querying. See you this Wednesday??

So incredible!!! Rebecca, I love that you and Steve just go for it, all in. And live an amazing life because of that. Bravo, my friend! And those peach preserves are calling my name.

Thank you Betty!!! All or nothing is not always the easiest way to go about things but it gets the job done! 😂 When we lived in Colorado, I made those preserves every single year. There's nothing better in the middle of January then the taste of summer peaches.
