Over the winter, we did some pet and house-sitting around Washington, interspersed with shorter van trips. In April 2026, we flew back to the boat in Greece, where we waited (unexpectedly) for parts and repairs for the Volvos. While waiting, we spent two weeks in England to extend our visas. In early June, we finally launched the boat and made our way west to Spain, via Sicily and the Balearic Islands. By mid-July, our 90-day visas had run out, and we are now back in Washington making final improvements to the van. For more frequent updates, follow us on Instagram or view our PHOTO ALBUMS.
