About Us

Living aboard and traveling on s/v Serendipity, Union 36. Beginning a new journey to visit Cuba (maybe), the Bahamas, or the western Caribbean.

First Postponement

Okay, things are out of hand---preventive maintenance on the engine became a partial rebuild (thank heavens for Russ ); the week of rain postponed lots of final woodwork (thank heavens for Bob); rewiring the inverter opened a new can of wire worms (thank heavens for George); and so on and so on....so the new departure date appears to be Sunday, Oct. 4.

We've been accused of postponing so we can continue the farewell parties, and that's not a bad idea. We've wined and dined several times with good friends we hate to leave. The obvious solution is for friends to join us along the way.

Beginning to begin (again)

Preparations are underway for Journey 2 on the mighty sailing vessel Serendipity. Wiring, woodwork, cleaning, repairs, provisioning.....the list goes on and on....

Hopefully October 1 will be the date of departure from Blue Springs Marina, where we will leave lots of good friends and good times. We'll spend a few nights in Chattanooga with youngest son Jesse and his fiancee Brittany, and hope to be joined by daughter Julie and little ones Madison and Micah, and oldest son John.
