    Well, after a few days of traveling once again, I’m adjusting. I was not as eager as Scott to start moving again, but I knew we had to head a little north. Sometimes my spirit gets unsettled, and I forget to be still and find my joy and rest in God. I get very annoyed…

    Scott here. With the wind pushing us the travel day wasn’t bad at all. We only saw 4 or 5 other boats traveling in the opposite direction, so it made it even easier! I was 75% sure we were not going to move today after taking Jazzy to the park for a walk this morning.…

    Scott here. On the move again!! We are finally moving again! I am so happy, Rita had a much busier month than I did, so I think she could stay here for awhile longer! Our next multi-day stop will be Jacksonville. But today we will be traveling to Sebastian, FL. I know what you are…
