Secret Life of a Sailor – October 12, 2025, Skidaway Island, Georgia, USA

Ron and I have had a fairly unexciting life for the last several months – hence my lack of posts.  We have been staying in the RV, bopping between visiting family, (which was nice seeing all four daughters in one place) and working on our latest weight loss project!  We both lost 20 pounds and walked or hiked 7-10 miles a day.  We also have also had a nice time visiting & helping my parents with a few projects and visiting siblings.

We enjoyed staying in the Midwest in places like upstate New York, Letchworth (the Grand Canyon of the East), and Savannah, Georgia where we hauled out the boat.  Skidaway Island has a nice campground about 10 minutes from the boat. 

We have been essentially killing time until hurricane season is over.  Which speaking of hurricane season – where are all the hurricanes this year?  It has been a very strange year for the storms.    It is a blessing since we are parked along the east coast and has given us some extra time to take on some boat work.

Our secret life isn’t always sunsets and beach happy hour.  We have spent a crazy amount of time working on the RV recaulking all the seams, waxing the exterior, and screwing in all interior panels which have somehow come apart.  The quality of the RV isn’t nearly as good as the boat.  Then once we got to the boat, the project list just got even longer.  Major item Ron has been able to knock off have been getting our sail repaired, correctly mounting the water maker and creating a nice new panel for all its gauges. 

We also started to do all of our non-refrigeration provision runs.  This included Ron building out shelves in one of our cabin closets so we can store all these items in a more accessible way which has worked out REALLY nice! 

It has been alot of work lately and we are excited to get splashed and actually start to sail again!
