I live in a small boat and I hate clutter. Those two statements together almost guarantee that I will forever be stressed out because, with a small boat, there is not a ton of space to hide the misc. bits of stuff that we need to live with, aka clutter. For example, at this very […]
My Pinterest boards don't lie...I have a pretty hearty appetite (pun intended) for all things food related.

The last few months sure have been CRAZY!!! In a nutshell, this is what inspires our first post on our NEW WEBSITE: Our family and friends seemed to be in disbelief as we told them earlier this year that we were going to buy a sailboat and sail away to far off lands. We told them we …

Life aboard is living large, in a small space. Every boat owner has found ways to make life in that small space easier, more comfortable, more convenient. The idea behind this site is to provide a place where these ideas can be shared amongst the boating community. To participate, send your contribution to SmallBoatProjects at gmail dot com.
When weather hits without warning, the Del Viento crew have a routine to reduce sail quickly and efficiently.
