Social media: This year, we received 223,063 views on Youtube, made 44 Instagram posts and 28 Patreon posts (we started our Patreon on October 18th! Thank you to our Patrons for your support. ❤️), and one full year of Behind the Scenes posts. 

Favorite purchases of 2023: 

• We replaced our gas oven with this electric multi-purpose unit after switching to Lithium. We use it all the time and love it! 
• We replaced our Yamaha 20HP 4-stroke outboard engine with a Yamaha Enduro 25HP 2-stroke outboard engine. It has been significantly faster and more reliable than our old one!

Favorite memories of 2023: 

Having our friends and family join us for our wedding in the British Virgin Islands… 

Tying our dinghy to the stern of our friend’s boat to watch a local band perform in their cockpit… 

Swimming with turtles every day in the US Virgin Islands…

Taking a cooking class in Grenada at a local chef’s home using produce we picked from his garden…

Baking our first loaf of sourdough bread on the boat… 

Cheers to a wonderful year, and many more to come!
