There comes a time in every large boat’s life when it must be hauled out of the water for services. They say you should do it once a year, at a minimum. With our one year anniversary of owning the boat right around the corner, and our records showing the boat had not been hauled […]

Key West wasn’t the only adventure of March, 2017. We can’t forget about St. Patty’s Day and Spring Break! One of our marina’s long-time dock hands, held a St. Patty’s Day bash at his house, which is just a short bike ride away from the marina. Lucky for us, St. Patty’s Day was on a […]

Between the four of us in the Wiffullens crew, (Bobby and Christina Mullens, plus Will and Tiff), we like to go somewhere for one or two of our birthday’s each year. We did Barbados for Christina’s birthday in December, and local things for Tiff’s birthday in January, so for my birthday in March, we planned […]

Prepping For Mom Her excitement actually worried me a little, because up to […]

Christmas Light Bike Ride After dinner, and about four […]

When we returned from Barbados, a few of the boats were already decked out in Christmas lights and decorations. “Oh crap, it’s December!” I thought to myself as we brainstormed how we would decorate our new home. We already owned a few decorations from the year prior when we decorated the rental home… but where would […]

At some point earlier in the year, I made it a personal mission for us to travel internationally at least once per year. Thankfully we made arrangements for this trip BEFORE the boat and all of it’s surprises. Otherwise… well you know. So, this year I wanted a Caribbean destination that most caribbean cruises don’t […]
