Drop Anchor Podcast

Kendra is back and fully recovered from the flu, just in time to confront the deadly coronavirus pandemic!

Did Josh buy enough toilet paper? And why is there so much Spam in the boathouse?

Lastly, if it looks like a duck, but doesn't quack like one, what is it, exactly?

If you've been following us on Instagram (instagram.com/theDropAnchor) or Twitter (twitter.com/theDropAnchor), then you know that Kendra has been down with the flu for the past few days. She should recover just fine, but with the Coronavirus running around close to home, there are a lot of precautions being taken. Kendra does not do well with respiratory illnesses!

In the meanwhile, the Culleys STRONGLY recommend you take biohazard precautions - wash your hands, don't touch your faces, stay at least 6 feet away from people who are coughing or sneezing, and if you're sick, wear a mask to prevent spreading it to others!

Turns out that coming home from vacation is nearly as much of an exciting adventure as the vacation itself! Between high wind, a rough current, low tide, and cute little bow/stern thrusters, it turned into another fun story.

Also... high water alarm, again?!

On the first available sunny day of February, Josh and Kendra have taken the boat out and headed off to a private island. It would sound more romantic if they didn't have to bring their teenagers with them!

Also, are those... cat paw prints all over the boat?

The Culleys aren't people who live on a boat with teenagers. They are parents of teenagers, who happen to live on a boat!

It's amazing how much of life is wrapped up in dealing with the kiddos, and this past week was no exception.

The latest addition to this boat life: a gym membership. It's hard to work out on a boat, so heading to shore and hitting the gym is the only way to get good exercise!

Josh and Kendra talk through the single pain-point in this boat life: Laundry. With five people on this boat, there's a lot of dirty clothes to handle!

How's it going? How are you doing? How's life? Or... how's BOAT life? Kendra and Josh try to navigate the minefield of small talk now that everybody knows they live on a boat.

Also, snow day! Why on earth do they call a snow day when there's only 3 inches of snow on the ground?

A daring rescue at night! Josh and Kendra talk through their last-minute, late-night rescue attempt of a sailboat caught in the shallows.

But first, a few boat stories from childhood.

Josh and Kendra talked about the risk of having bugs on the boat several months back, anticipating the usual boat critters: ants, roaches, weavils... but what they encountered was much, much worse!
