We marked a big milestone this week on our Facebook page - over 1,000 likes! Who would have thought so many people would be interested in what we get up to? Not us, that's for sure.
When we started this blog, the intent was to document our crazy journey to quit the rat race, get rid of most of our stuff and lead a life a bit less normal on a sailboat. We did it primarily for ourselves - to capture our adventures so that we would have something to look back on one day when our memories aren't as sharp - as well as to keep our families in the loop.
But, somehow, along the way, all of you joined us for our journey. And, it's been all the more fun because of it! We've loved getting to know so many of you virtually and having the good fortune to even meet some of you in real life too.
It seemed like a good time to say thank you to all of you for following along with us - so, thank you! We're so very glad to have you along for the ride.
Congratulations! I'm so glad I found your blog and have really enjoyed the ride. Honestly, yours is my favourite one to follow and I always look forward to seeing what's new every Monday, Wednesday and Friday . . . so thank you for keeping me entertained and for all the laughter over the years!
ReplyDeleteWow - that is such a huge compliment!! Thank you!!
DeleteThat's awesome! Sorry, I'm not on Facebook, or I would be following you there as well.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Alex!
DeleteAwesome, indeed! Congrats again. The first 1000 are the hardest ones. Keep up the good work, Ellen! :-) I hope to reach a tenth of that for now!
ReplyDeleteThanks Liesbet! To be honest, I'm not sure how it happened, but it did take time. Yours will get there too.
DeleteYour posts are so enjoyable. I love how you engage the reader with a question, and you always leave a reply comment! Having you post every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday is awesome, and something I aspire to. I have been lazy, and let Bill do all of the technical posts, and then I don't post the fun stuff.
ReplyDeleteThank you for taking the time to entertain and enlighten us. I'm so glad I "met" you. :-)

Thanks Donna - it's been great "meeting" you too! Hopefully, we can do it in real life one of these days.
DeleteWell, thank you for blogging and keeping me smiling all week long! -Lucy
ReplyDeleteIt's you I should be thanking for my smiles all week long. Well, not really you as much as Hastings :-)
DeleteBloggers are the best! Congratulations on connecting with so many great people.
ReplyDeleteThey are the best, aren't they? There have been some great folks I've connected with through bloggin, like you :-)
DeleteCongratulations on the milestone. We always enjoy keeping up with you guys.
ReplyDeleteAww...thanks so much!
DeleteCongratulations !! Isn't it awesome when you something you start as simply a "journal" of sorts gathers a following? Love your writing - so glad I stumbled across your blog :)
ReplyDeleteIt's crazy isn't it - who would have thought so many people would want to tune into our crazy blog :-)
DeleteWoo hoo! Congrats! It's so much more fun when you know others are actually reading what you're writing, isn't it? I hope that someday my blog is as successful as yours!

I'm not sure we're successful, but we're having fun. As long as you're having fun with your blog, that's what really matters :-)
DeleteBTW, I met some cruising buddies of yours and they said you had been at Indiantown recently. Sorry we missed each other - it would have been fun to meet you guys.
Congratulations! Hard work pays off. :-)
