Welcome to Unanchored...
Allow us to introduce ourselves before you start wondering how you ended up here, and who gave us permission to do this...
⚙️ Meet the Crew
Ken aka Captain Silver Fox— Former Head of Research and Development at Sikorsky.
Translation: professional crash-test dummy for multimillion-dollar helicopters.
Kirsten aka Admiral Kraken— Still technically a real-estate broker, though now conducting closings from a galley table until Musk decides to cut our Starlink off.
Gypsy — aka Gypalata, Gyptastic, or Big Brown Bootifus. Our dog. Once enjoyed a solid land-based routine and had the misfortune to believe her humans were emotionally stable.
⚓ The Plot Twist
Then one day, partially due to a terminal misdiagnosis, but mostly due to a lifelong dream, we sold everything — the house, the cars, and any lingering sense of rational decision-making — and bought a 60-foot trawler.
Now we’re heading off to see the world with more enthusiasm than experience, one questionable decision (and one strong cup of coffee) at a time.
🐾 Why You’re Here
If you’ve ever wondered what happens when a test pilot, a real estate broker, and a skeptical dog trade their wings for waves, mortgages for moorings, and grass for a "potty patch" then you’re in the right place.
Expect sea stories, small disasters, and the occasional philosophical musing from Gypsy, who remains deeply unimpressed by all of this.
🌍 Cast Off
So here we go — no anchor, no script, and no idea what day it is.
Just a family, a boat, and a possibly seasick sense of humor.
Welcome aboard.
