Welcome back everyone. Even though we haven't posted in awhile Lisa and I have been busy getting everything in order to set sail around the world in just a couple months. As I write this we only have eight weeks before we are scheduled to leave Oriental and get ready to sail to Florida. Seven months later we will be starting our around the world trip.
The time seems to go by faster and faster as we approach our departure date. It's kind of funny, we've been planning this trip for so long, and it always seemed we had time to do this or that "tomorrow". Now that it's here we're spending every moment we can, either at the boat working on some project large or small or getting our affairs in order. You spend 40 years living life one way, and then try to get all your accounts, taxes, wills, insurance, banking, family, life, and everything else set up for a completely different way of life. It takes a lot of effort and it's frustrating because there is always something you forget about to come back and bite you. I know we'll be fine when the time comes, but you can't help but try to get everything aligned and ready for the big trip.
As promised, we are officially starting our Season One! We will be publishing a video the first 4 Saturdays every month from March through December every year we're out sailing around. That's 40 videos a year!! Be sure to subscribe so you don't miss out. We are doing Cruising Lifestyle videos, Maintenance Videos, Product Reviews, and we have a new segment, Lisa's Ladle. Lisa is teaching herself how to cook aboard with all the challenges that come along with provisioning around the world and cooking in a boat galley. Follow along, get some ideas and help Lisa learn how to make great food from around the world. We will start keeping our FB and Instagram a little more updated. We have a Patreon site, and PayPal link if you like what we're doing and want to contribute to our video production. Check out our Zazzle storefront to get all your Unwritten Timeline gear. We will also be making more posts on our blog to keep everyone informed on what we're up to and where we're heading.
Our monthly expenses will still be kept up to date here as well. That way any aspiring cruisers can come check out our Costs of Sailing to try and get an estimate of what it costs to sail around the world. Trying to figure out how much this would cost us when we were still dreaming was a big unknown, so this way maybe we can help a few people decide to make the plunge.
Thanks for following our Unwritten Timeline!
