About

Hi there and welcome aboard! I’m Suzanne and I live aboard a 54′ trawler with my husband and German shorthaired pointer in the Pacific Northwest. We’ve got 3 adult children and in 2019, when we were facing an empty nest – we thought there must be more to life than waiting for your kids to come home to visit once they’ve launched into the world. We had just turned 50 and realized there was still plenty of time for an adventure of our own. So we sold our house and nearly everything in it and bought a boat that was capable of crossing an ocean, as well as being a cozy home. I haven’t always been a proponent of small-space living, but once you start, it’s hard to not sing its praises! So thanks for joining me here – I hope I can inspire a simpler, smaller, unencumbered way of living in which you are still surrounded by beauty and meaningful objects that enhance your life.
