The post Tiny House Recap: March and April appeared first on Where The Coconuts Grow.

Our friends Wes and Elizabeth were a bit hesitant at first to stay in our tiny floating home but once they arrived it didn’t take long for them to see why we’re so happy living this life less ordinary.

“They shared how the most surprising part of their visit was learning how easy it is to live simply.”

Please accept my apologies for the gap in publishing and please keep checking back for new stories. There is SO much I want to share with you all but life on a boat is actually quite busy on the Mary Christine. The dogs keep us busy and there are of course always projects to work on and things to fix.

When we left Grenada (pictured below) we bee-lined it up to the Virgin Islands in a 3 and a half day passage. Ever since, we’ve had guests on board for almost more time than we’ve been alone. We LOVE sharing this life of ours with family and friends but it leaves little time for me to write both here and over at Tiny House Blog. If you don’t hear from me or see new posts for awhile, just know that we are off doing something really cool ;)

Here’s a little glimpse of what our last six months have looked like:

November – Izzy – 10 days

December – Dad and Stacy – 3 weeks

January – Lucy (Peter’s aunt) and Julie (Cousin) – 8 days

January – Wiley (Peter’s step-dad) and his sister Emma – 8 days

February – Captain’s School – all month

March – I worked at Pizza Pi helping out for a week and photographed a wedding!

March – Michael and Stacie – 7 days

April – Michael and Stacie – 5 days

April – Mom and Kevin are here on the boat with us now for two weeks :)

It’s always fun to meet other young cruisers like ourselves, but this family is so much more than just your average cruising family.

First off, Genevieve takes GORGEOUS photos! Hop over to their blog and you’ll see what I mean.

Then there’s the girls. Their darling girls have been raised on the boat, as they are now in their fifth year aboard, and are some of the smartest kids I’ve ever met. For anyone that may be skeptical of raising kids on a boat, just read about all the amazing things this family has done.

They recently lived in the Dominican Republic working with a non-profit called Live Different building homes for those in need. They also have a very exciting adventure coming up where they will be traveling to India! Be sure to check out their STORY to see how far they’ve come and see just how awesome this family really is.

Eben and Genevieve have worked very hard to turn their boat into the perfect tiny floating home. They are an inspiration to Peter and me and we’re so grateful we got the chance to finally meet them in person. Hopefully we’ll be able to buddy-boat with them down island to Grenada when they return from their India trip!

Not only is it a super cute floating home, but our friends Sasha and Tara have built this boat from the inside out to serve fresh, made-to-order NY-style pizza!
