The Culleys are back at the Island again. With the weather turning nice, this may become a regular weekend getaway! That is, unless Kendra convinces Josh to pilot the boat down to the Bahamas somehow.

In the meanwhile, this weekend brought more paddleboarding, some red rock crabs, and some frisbee-throwing on the shore.

The Culleys took a break last week to celebrate Mother's Day, but they got one recorded tonight.

Between a slight misstep coming into the boathouse, and another shower pump failure, it's been a couple of weeks of boat projects. But also some creative projects: rock painting, boat upgrades, and Josh's weird 3D-scanning project. Maybe he'll scan something interesting and share it!

What's the best way to pass the time? Keeping busy. Kendra has been painting even more, only instead of the boathouse, she's painting nails, painting rocks, and with her newly acquired body-markers (for temporary tattoos), she and the girls have been painting themselves!

In the meanwhile, the gang are getting ready for a Mother's Day weekend by heading out to the island. Hopefully, there's no unexpected leaks along the way.

Even pirates have to swab the deck! It's spring-time, which means that it's time to make everything pretty again. Kendra takes charge this time, and does a major overhaul of the boathouse. With a fresh coat of paint, and a remodel of the entry way, it's looking a bit more like "home" every day.

Not to be outdone, Josh gets in on the action and redesigns his work bench (although you can't really tell the difference!)

The Culleys are becoming pirates! Well, sort of. They're hanging laundry off their back deck, anyway.

After spending a few days out of the boathouse, it was a little challenging to want to go back in. So... they spent a couple of nights out on the marina guest dock and enjoyed the sun.

Happy Easter! This one sure was... different. Josh and Kendra talk through how they celebrated this year.

The kids have been on spring break, so there's been a lot of Netflix and Disney Plus. Probably too much.

Also, anybody else losing track of the days?

PARENT ALERT: We mention that the Easter Bunny, Santa, and the Tooth Fairy are all made up. Just a heads up!

It is officially SPRING BREAK! Of course, during this crazy time, it really doesn't mean much change for the Culley family. However, it sure was nice to have the sun shining so brightly!

On this episode, the Josh and Kendra talk through their limited power supply, failed science experiments, and cold showers.

When both of the showers on the boat start to leak, there's bound to be a problem. A stinky problem.

The Culleys talk through making those repairs, stocking up on more food, and figuring out how to manage their time while maintaining social distance.

As the novel coronavirus outbreak gets worse, the Culleys are staying at home on the boat a lot more. Well, except that they need to pick up a propane tank. And a wash-down pump. And a banjo?

They also talk a little bit about how people are coping with the stress.

Special Feature: YouTube video alert!

Laundry has never been so exciting.

In Washington state, schools, businesses, gyms, etc., are all closed due to the containment measures for the coronavirus. So how do the Culleys deal with this on a boat? Is there enough Spam? Or toilet paper?

Also, is Kendra going to have homeschool flashbacks?
