  • Where is Twig?

    We’re getting asked about how to track us across the Atlantic a LOT! I hope a tiny dot moving VERY slowly across a bunch of blue is going to be as exciting as it possibly can for all of you watching at home! This page will have the most regular Click here for full post: […] More

  • Preparing for An Atlantic Crossing

    When we bought Twig, (and even prior to that while sailing Owl), we had parts of us deep down that wanted to cross oceans. I wasn’t sure about oceans, as a plural sense, but at least one ocean would be necessary, I thought. Once starting to travel on Twig, I Click here for full post: […] More

  • Maine and Writing and Not Much Else

    Maine hasn’t been very foggy this summer. Sure, there were two solid weeks of fog rolling in and out during the June and July transition, but nearly every other day has been sunny and bright with little to no wind. I adore the sun and calm waters of a Maine Click here for full post: […] More

  • Small Batch Bagels

    My friend Jayme on SV Sargo made me bagels for my birthday this year. They were absolutely fantastic with their puffy, chewy goodness. Logically, the next thing was to incorporate them into my cycle of things I bake. I like to memorize easy recipes, especially when it comes to bread Click here for full post: […] More

  • Easy Chard Salad

    This is my go-to salad when i’ve run out of fresh field greens and have their longer-lasting, heartier cousin: Swiss chard left in the fridge. I usually buy salad supplies in a variety of shelf lives, from mixed greens/lettuces/spinach, chard, kale, and then cabbage. I use the more delicate and Click here for full post: […] More

  • Green Muffins

    When I worked as a lactation consultant, many moms used moringa leaf powder to increase milk production. There are mixed reviews for galactagogues (substances that increase lactation/milk production) but in my experience as an IBCLC, they can work. In my experience as a foodie, they can also taste incredible and Click here for full post: […] More

  • Tortillas…for Tacos Every Night!

    I joke that every night is taco night of some sort, but it’s not too far from reality. Maybe it’s my Lebanese upbringing of wrapping everything we eat in flatbread, but I am a firm believer that any meal can be made into a taco, and that tacos make everything Click here for full post: […] More

  • Cast Iron Focaccia Bread

    It’s no surprise that a Lodge cast iron skillet lives on my stovetop. Even when we’re underway, it’s always there. I rarely make a meal without it and have owned it for years. The top of my Lodge Dutch oven would do just fine should I get rid of my Click here for full post: […] More

  • Living Aboard in a Pandemic: COVID-19 and other things

    Well this is unexpected. When we decided to live on Twig a little over 3 years ago, I didn’t expect to have to do so during a pandemic. I had swirled every sailing scenario through my head, but never added a pandemic to the list. Nonetheless, we’re used to change Click here for full post: […] More

  • The Bigger Picture: My Life in Plans

    When I was little, shortly after proclaiming I wanted to be a cashier when I grew up, I expanded my horizons a bit and decided an farmer was a better profession. Then I wanted to add some medical skill into it and become a veterinarian. I realized I’d have to Click here for full post: […] More

  • What’s in My Galley

    It’s no surprise that our galley is smaller than a traditional land kitchen. Granted, in all the places I’ve lived, it’s not the smallest one, and it’s certainly more efficient than many I’ve used. I grew up watching infomercials for kitchen gadgets on Saturdays. Some kids were there for the Click here for full post: […] More
