Live Now is a 47 foot Vagabond center-cockpit ketch. She is a full-keel, ocean-going vessel, weighing 25 tons. We moved aboard full-time in June, 2003, and have been cruising full time since October of 2007.
WELCOME!!!
Since our retirement several years ago, we havebeen on the move almost continuously: sailing Live Now, long distance hiking, and taking extensive road trips (therapy hasn't helped). We established this Blog to share our small adventures with family and friends and, as our aging memories falter, remind ourselves of just how much fun we're having. We hope you enjoy it. Your comments and questions are greatly appreciated. Our reports here are mostly true except in those cases where there is no way for others to verify the actual facts.
Jekyl Island, now a Georgia State Park, was purchased for $125,000 in 1886 as a vacation resort for the Vanderbilt, Morgan, Rockefeller, Goodyear, Field, and Tiffany and their well heeled cronies.
Old black men on bicycles Ancient carriage houses, waiting to be important again. Grits, pickled sausage, cream potatoes, stewed tomatoes and okra Wooden floors that undulate like waves of the nearby ocean Moss, like icicles, draped on trees. Strangers who stop and say hello.
