Some mornings you wake up and think, "I should drive an hour to see my friend!" because somehow visits during the holidays feel a bit more special.

Whether your friends are a car ride away, a dinghy ride away, or a sail away, we hope your holidays are full of special time with friends.

Too cold for outdoor boat projects?

As it snowed outside, TBG's Katherine González used Sailrite's video tutorials to build a bimini frame and cover from the comfort of a heated garage.

Calypso Chronicles: Nica and Jeremy celebrate a Cruiser’s Thanksgiving in the Tuamotus, French Polynesia.

Amazing what a feast cruisers can prepare in a boat galley while at anchor in the South Pacific.

Whatever food fill your plate today (be it traditional fare or an eclectic collection of boat-friendly potluck dishes), whoever is sitting around your table (be they family or an eclectic collection of cruisers from the anchorage), we hope your day is full of things for which you can be grateful!

What land skills turned out to be surprisingly helpful to you for living on a boat?
For us...
Fixing engines on clunker cars (Laura); Macramé (Carolyn); Orienteering using a compass (Katherine).

What about you? What land skills have you brought aboard?

Calypso Chronicles - TBG's Nica and Jeremy get inked!

Moana, the Marquesan artist, listened to theirs stories, then he freehand drew the tattoo, with symbols (e.g. a turtle for their equatorial crossing) representing what they’d shared with him, onto their skin before applying the ink.

Planning to spend the holidays on your boat?

Make it memorable for years to come by collecting one new ornament or small memento from each port and build a “cruising tree” that tells the story of your adventure.

Should you roast a bird in your galley oven over high heat or low heat? What if you don't have a meat thermometer?

In this "Whole Roast Chicken Recipe", Carolyn walks you step by step through turning a classic roast chicken recipe into a boat-friendly feast.

The Boat Galley’s John Herlig just rounded Cape Hatteras on his southbound boat delivery.

His passage report: “A little lumpy, but not bad.”

A little lumpy going around The Graveyard of the Atlantic sounds pretty good to us!

Fair winds, John!
