okay a little background we've been

sailing since 2014

immediately after learning to sail

12-foot butterflies we bought fuzz a 24

foot F 27.3 to enjoy on this vegan Lake

it is such a great sailboat and provided

us the confidence to strengthen our

dream of traveling full-time we still

have fuzz in our fleet and have hopes to

move it to the North Channel someday in

the meantime our friends take care of

her our story will involve more on fuzz

someday but first continues on our new

sailboat tipsy gypsy alright this is a

little look at tipsy gypsy our new boat

right now we're in a warehouse in

Mackinaw City so I'll just do a little

360 so you can see all the other boats

were just in heated storage so it's not

so bad right now being that it's January

in Michigan

it's very snowy what kind of boat is

this thin on such 36 there were there

were about 70 of these made we have a

whole number 19 although it was nice to

have our home away from home we had lots

of cleaning projects and planning before

our May launch

pretty high up here but and there's I

mean I don't know how they do it but

these boats are very very close to ours

so we just closed on the bow at the

beginning of November and we're very

very anxious to take it out we do have a

Bimini in a Dodger that'll go over the

cockpit and then we do have some dingy

jabots back here for our dingy so

that'll be nice we're looking towards

getting maybe like a grill and just kind

of making it a little bit more homey

since we will be living on it in the

springtime so we live in Grand Rapids

Michigan right now and we store about

our current boat in Muskegon and that's

where we're gonna be anchoring or

mooring this one

we'll be doing an actual boat tour in

later months but here is a quick look

into the interior

all right we're out of storage now we

also got a fresh coat of paint and had a

nice tour around Mackinaw City

mechanized City this is the Mackinac

Bridge

we're headed to dinner and drinks

No yeah no not sure if we should be

doing this you're right

Baron wants to touch the butt of the

bridge

although it was fun to explore the town

it was time to put our sailboat in the

water we made it just in time to catch

footage in this monumental day of our

adventures
