After taking a week off from podcasting, Josh and Kendra recap their Christmas road trip down to California. Everyone is along for the ride, except for the cat... who managed to get sooty paw-prints all over the boat!

As always, it's an adventure!

Wisdom... as in teeth. Josh and Kendra talk through some teeth stories, as their oldest daughter just had her wisdom teeth removed. What are they even for, anyway?

Also, there's probably some wisdom in doing routine checks on the boat!

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Josh and Kendra talk through Christmas lights on boats.

Before that, they explain the steps involved in getting prepped for a trip.

Lastly, Josh gives "dropping anchor" a whole new meaning.

The Culleys experienced their first storm. Well... "storm." Ok - it was only 15 kts, but it sure bounced them around a bit, and did some damage to some of their neighbors' boathouses.

They also talk through Thanksgiving and their upcoming Christmas plans.

With Thanksgiving coming up in a few days, Josh and Kendra decided to dedicate some time on this episode to mention a few things that make them thankful. Some of it is the usual stuff... and some of it is uniquely boat-related.

They also talk through some more back-story on how they viewed water life growing up, and manage to bring up Water World and Three Fugatives into the discussion.

Happy Birthday, Hayden! The oldest Culley daughter turned 16 this weekend, so Josh & Kendra talk about our lives when they were sixteen.

Kendra was "home schooled," or something like that. She sure learned a lot about I Love Lucy and Laverne and Shirley. Josh, on the other hand, spent half of his 16th year in Korea, nerding out to Dungeons and Dragons and Magic: The Gathering.

Life on a boat has become more normal for the Culleys, but as they discovered right before recording... sometimes the poop-tanks fill up faster than expected. That's just life!

No, this one didn't end in a shipwreck! But they did come dangerously close to some rocks at the Tacoma Yacht Club, and the bow-thruster stopped working for some weird reason...

Josh and Kendra talk through some additional tweaks and upgrades, as well their first adventure as a family on our new boat. They've decided: this is a good life!

Winter is coming! Josh and Kendra talk through their winter experiences, and go into detail about Josh's dinghy repair this last week.

Also, when exactly does a boat feel like a home?

Holy moly! Twenty episodes into this podcast, and three weeks into this liveaboard life, Josh and Kendra are still adjusting to life on a boat. They've now gone through a homecoming dance, grocery-store adventures, miles and miles of walking the dog, and… golf?

It’s work… but it’s a good life. They wouldn’t trade it for anything.

On this special episode, Kendra talks through her experience being a surrogate mother for a husband and wife who were unable to have children.

However, before she was able to tell her story, the high-water alarm went off during the recording! Listen in and find out what happened this week!

Also... something about a poop boat.
