Sprouting Win 🌱 Sprouting lentils in trays.

The last time I used my new stainless steel trays I was sad to be left with a broccoli sprout mess. I told myself I’d try again using a different form of sprouting seed. Having lentils in hand, I soaked them overnight and began giving them sprout baths twice a day. On the third day they were done!

I had never had lentil sprouts before. They’re very tasty! A little spicy and nutty, they went well with our mackerel salads at lunch. Just enough crunch too from the sprout, while the lentil was soft.

I’m pretty pleased with the results!

I’m taking some time off off updating what we’re doing day to day. Instead, I’ll update my blog with some roundups of where we’ve been, why we’re on a boat, our favorite things, and maybe some productivity stuff I’ve been working through. I also am editing our videos, the first being our third Disney World video. The other two are up on our family YouTube channel.

Stainless steel polishing onboard Coco Mar.

I’ll leave a picture of Shane and Kelly working on removing pesky oxidation from the stainless yesterday. It’s getting hot around here, but they were focused and working hard. Wyatt helped Shane wash down the boat earlier in the day and run errands. I got to do four loads of laundry! Let’s see what else we can get done!

Don’t rock the boat, baby 😘

“Recents” from February - it was a busy one! Kelly is in a drama production here on island. The kids have been climbing (and Shane). Shane has been sailing, paddling, sauna-ing, and working on the boat (and working). We’ve made a lot of local friends and new boat buddies! Homeschool was mainly done off the boat this month with a lot of time exploring our out of this world surroundings.

Grammy and Grampy came to visit. Friday Harbor is a favorite boating destination for them, but their first time staying with us! 

The family traveled to the mainland for a boat part once and bundled it with a Trader Joe’s stop and to see Ant Man (we loved it). 

It sounds like March is going to live up to its name and we’re ready for it.

Shane’s instincts are to go where the wind is — mine tell me to hide 😋

Another adventure on the island! It's so beautiful here. 

Winter is the time to be here — ferries, hotels, and rental cars are more affordable. Plus, there’s a quarter of the people.

If you can be patient with ferry cancellations/changes, odd restaurant hours, some windy bits, a little rain here and there (this is the sunshine belt though), the odd snow storm — then winter is 👌 😋

You know it gets windy there with the gnarled trees and grass like that 😋

The boys and I tried to hike around here last June when we anchored in Griffin Bay. I had to call Shane to pick us up early in the dinghy because my eyes were too swollen and itchy to keep going. Oh well! We had a mostly dry hike this time and the views were beautiful. Especially on the west side overlooking Victoria.
