When folks asked us how long our that “trip” would last, we always said “we’ll let you know when we decide!”.

Well, folks, we’ve decided.

It’s official: we are settling back in Austin.

We’ve bought a car, put Mother Jones up for sale and we’ve begun our search here in Austin for a new home (like the kind with indoor plumbing that doesn’t move in a storm).

Truth be told, we’re really happy: we’re back amongst our family and friends and look back upon our traveling & sailing adventures over the last three years with sheer satisfaction.

We’re so glad we took the time and took the leap to make our dreams come true. We are left wanting not.

(In fact, if you gave me $50,000 to go back out for another couple years RIGHT NOW, I wouldn’t take it, seriously – I’m just not interested in moving more; I’m interested in settling in. — of course, I’d also ask you to hold on to that offer so I could take you up on it in another 7-10 when we’ll likely start this cycle over again)

While this chapter of our lives will soon come to a close with the sale of our beloved home, Mother Jones, we’re excited to have started drafting the next one (stay tuned!).

While we’ll seriously be sad to see Mother Jones go, we look forward to her next chapter with someone who’s ready to take her on new adventures – something we’re just not ready to do right now.

If you know of anyone looking to start their own sailing adventures, we highly recommend our vessel and would be grateful for your help in spreading the word that she’s looking for a new Captain. Info about the sale can be found here: Mother Jones is for sale!

See y’all around town!
