The United States Sailboat Show 2018
We do love our sailboats here at No Kids. So, for the last couple of year we’ve made a big effort to make a trip Annapolis, Maryland each October for the United States Sailboat Show.

PreCheck Is PreCheck

The memory of the devastation wrought by hurricanes from Irma and Maria is still fresh in our minds.

The Beginnings of a Plan of Escape
The post last week was all about my sister and her move to St. Thomas. If you have been paying close attention to our blog over the last few years, you’ll remember this is the same sister who is restoring the 40’ Morgan sailboat with her husband. Her husband, Matt, and the boat, Errant, are […]

Zeke and I have been dreaming of relocating to the Caribbean for years (we’re still determined to make it happen someday) and now we’re getting to live vicariously through Zeke’s sister, Andi, as she makes the move to St. Thomas. Andi accepted a position as a history teacher at the Antilles School. She’ll have her […]
