Why is there no Bravo Below Decks and HBO Succession crossover.

Go further, I want Below Decks but Only fictional families/groups as guests

Shifting Tides: From House to Boat Years of rental use has left a mark on our house in Durango. Nymeria on the other hand, has been cold and alone in her slip in Baltimore. It's time to shift focus.

Its time to start thinking about Nymeria again. She has been alone all winter while we concentrate on the house.

One year ago right now we were causing Blue Origins New Glenn rocket to not launch.

Dungeons and Dragons is an Adventure right? Now that we are back and stable for a bit, we have been exploring other Adventures.

Stability brings new hobbies for awhile.

🥂 New Years Update 🥂 We’ve officially made the transition back to land and to the mountains of Colorado. A lot has happened since our last blog post back in May 2025. We had just finished our trip back from the Bahamas an...

We're still here!

Lots of adventures happening lately.

Our Next Adventures Join us as we adventure through life

@larakin.systems has been updating things. Our website now has a new home!

Happy Birthday USA!

Estimated 2,000 gallons of diesel fuel spill into Baltimore’s Inner Harbor, officials say | CNN Emergency crews from a host of government agencies were working through the night to clean up an estimated 2,000-gallon diesel spill in Baltimore’s Inner Harbor that started on Wednesday.

This shit is gross. Well done by the emergency services containing this.

Our boat is visible in this picture.

Nymeria Update: We get a break from boat chores and get to stay in a hotel for a bit. Nymeria is going to be in the yard to get new bottom paint and her water line raised so that we don't look so heavy and low in the water. #sailskye

Calm slow motor up the Chesapeake. Love the old lighthouses.

Only about 130 miles to go. We're almost to Baltimore.

Remember back when days were different?

Small boat with headsail out. The logo of a wolf on the sail. Sun shining through the clouds that speckle the sky.

Just a lazy motor-sail up the North Carolina ICW (intercoastal waterway).

Sunrise behind a sail. The sail has the likeness of a wolf painted on it. Many colors of orange in the sky that is scattered with light clouds.

Seems like a good day to sail 65 miles north on the ICW.

6am departure.

need RFK Jr to get around to taking off the "DO NOT EAT" label on silica packets

Parting Brings Such Sweet Sorrow Like all good things, they must at some point, come to an end. After almost 90 days in The Bahamas, we were looking for a weather window to head back to the states. While I was checking the extende…

We logged 560nm over 79 hours traveling between The Bahamas and the US. Our longest trip of our 3 year journey.

We tested every one of our limits and succeeded.

While it's different being back in the states, the world is still beautiful.

Bahamas to Beaufort 2025. Nearly perfect 3 day sail. Wind for most of the trip. Gulf Stream was rocking.

We made it! Back in the states after 3 months in the Bahamas. On to our next adventure!

We are so close now. 2 more hours.

There is light at the end of this tunnel!

24 hours, 173 miles covered... 386 miles left.

Feels like we will never get there.

Still looks like some time Tuesday arrival.

I'm tired.

After 3 months in the Bahamas it's a big run back to the states.

Nav data showing 557 miles to destination and 87 hours to go.

Here we go. 557 miles to USA. Hopefully less than 87 hours. Once we hit the gulf stream we should eat up the miles

A sailboat cruising through the water. Blue skies. White sails.

We're underway. 1 hour done... 80+ to go!

A wind chart showing projected courses for sailing from The Bahamas to Beaufort NC.

It's that time again... Route plotting for our 3+ day sail back to the states.

Looks like a good gulf stream rally with several bail points.

A digital dashboard display showing battery information. The time at the top reads "12:36". Below that, a circular gauge indicates a battery level of "81%". The word "Battery" is written above the percentage. Below the percentage, it displays "12.85V - 110A" and an estimated "5h 3m to go". To the left of the central gauge, a sun icon is shown next to "514W". To the right, a symbol resembling alternating current is displayed next to "--W" and "1922W". The background is black.

How much power does it take to make water from the ocean?

~1.4kw

I'm currently making 35 gallons (130L) of water an hour.

My water tank will be full in about 2 hours and it will probably use about half my battery bank.

Usually I run a generator, but my batteries were full and I wanted to test.

The Best Ships are Friendships We’ve chosen this nomadic lifestyle which has definitely come with its challenges. Not only does it mean that we don’t currently have a home port but we also don’t have a consistent support system …

We meet so many great people on our travels.

Here's to all of the friends we have met and will meet! 🥂

Several yachts with a full moon rising behind them.

Full moon party on the dock last night.

A sailboat, Nymeria anchored with the the dusk skies darkening in the background.

We've been quiet lately. We're on our last leg of this Bahamas journey. Currently safely tied up at a marina on Green Turtle Cay until we get a good weather window to cross back to the states.

Until then. We have nothing to do but soak it in.

Several boats at anchor. Nymeria can be seen in the center.

Nav screen showing 25.7 Nm in 5 hours.

Made it back around "The Whale" 🐋 and have settled in at Green Turtle Cay.
