Description:
This is it... our final weeks living at the docks before taking our boat (and tiny home) off grid. But first, we patiently wait for a good weather window. In addition to preparing our Catalina 30 sailboat for living off grid, we also faced challenging weather, from pouring rain, to wind storms, to an unseasonably low pressure system that hit the night before we planned to leave.
This week was a little chaotic, but we managed to get MOST of the things checked off our list before our departure! We're so excited to share some sailing content on here starting next Sunday!

If you are new to the channel, Blue Moon is a 1978 Catalina 30 sailing vessel which we acquired in 2020. One year later we decided it was time for a road trip and built out a 1998 Delica to drive across the country. Now we live aboard the boat full-time, take weekend trips in the van, and explore this beautiful world.
