- Our home on the water
These are the stories of Peter Branning’s and Martha Boston’s journeys aboard s/v Lightheart, their 2007 Hanse 400e. We begin with a voyage to and through the Bahamas in Spring 2010.

This is my inspiration to get up the nerve to start my own blog/journal of my daily adventures. Thanks, Martha and Peter!

Will you be able to continue these through your year-long journey after Thanksgiving? I hope so.
Love you both. P

Yes, Pat. We plan to continue. We have worked hard to prepare our boat to become more and more independent. We can now make our own water and electricity and get farther off the “grid” than ever. At the same time, we’ll be able to stay in touch with e-mail and telephone through our SSB radio and modem. We both plan to keep writing and sharing this adventure.

YAY!!! How I would love to follow your adventure. The mundane, the shocking, the scary and the awesome…. each post will a gift. David

Thanks David! We are in Marathon now having just installed a watermaker, ham radio (ssb) and solar panels. These should allow us to get much farther off the grid and still keep in touch by email. I’m taking a 40 meter Free-diving class next week which should help with spearfishing. Martha has a new navigation program to make sailing at night and in unusual places simpler. We’re getting ready to really explore the Caribbean!
