Tom Yum! Didn’t know you could make this at home, did ya? I mean, what else are you going to do with leftover galangle and lemon grass, right?

Man I miss Florida.

Been working on my soup skills. This is vegetarian wonton soup. Without wontons. Like I said, working on it. #vegetariansoup #comfortfood #diyramen

Today is a good day! The paperwork from the USCG finally came back and it’s official-I own my boat and she’s been renamed “Henrietta”. The ultra cool thing about USCG registration is that it’s globally recognized. This boat could be floating around Asia and the officials would recognize it as mine. I spent weeks of looking at lists of old people names and this is what we settled on. There are a few special family names that might find their way onto a boat in the future but for my beginner boat, this somehow made the most sense. Go team! Looking forward to ordering up new names for Henrietta. 🥳 #sailingmke #mkesailing #milwaukeesailing #sailingmilwaukee #huntersailboats #huntervision36

Marigot Resort, St. Lucia. #marigotbayresort #marigotbay #stlucia #saintlucia

How can a branch hold so much snow?!?

A view of the lake. There’s a statue in there too if you look hard enough. #mkelife #mke #mkedowntown #lakemichigan

It’s really weird to be living where it snows. It really is winter here in Milwaukee! I couldn’t drive to a cafe to work as the roads haven’t been salted or cleared (we have a prius) so I walked across the street. That’s our apartment in the background. They’re playing Bob Marley’s “Buffalo Soldier” and it has me thinking of Julie and my’s time in Barbados. It’s really crazy where we find ourselves after just putting one foot in front of the other, day after day. Did anyone else finish watching Bojack Horseman? That series hit hard. #cafework #mkelife #bojackhorseman

Bucks vs Wizard. Go BUCKS!! #ileftthehouse #gobucks #mkelife #datenight

Made it to Marigot Bay, St. Lucia. We had lunch under the patio in the middle. After riding dune buggies and racing through a jungle yesterday, sitting and going nowhere was great. #marigotbay #marigotbaystlucia #stlucia #caribbeanlife

Taco night.

Some day she’ll be back in the water. S/V Henrietta is just waiting for warmer weather and a few repairs is all. Anyone know how to repair sails, fix prop vibration, replace internal water hoses, and sew up some new cushions? #sailing #sailinglife #sailingmke #mkesailing #greatlakessailing #lakemichigansailing #onthehard #wintersailing

Time for Tom Yum soup! This is Thai Chili Sauce straight from Thailand. Pretty sure some Asian markets carry this but I was too lazy to drive around looking for it.

Been wanting one of these for a long time. Not sure I’ll ever be good enough to make listenable lofi beats but at least I’ll know I tried. #akaimpkmini

Fat Head is anxious for sailing season to begin I swear.

Was good to get out of the house today. The whole town felt rather alive. Usually snow = hassle. But when it’s puffy, fresh, and doesn’t involve sub zero temps, snow on a Sunday is pretty nice.

Woooo! Ordering up new nameplates for the boat. S/V Henrietta LIVES!!!

Got me some razor action. Didn’t mean to match the vehicle but whatevs.
