We wanted to take a break from our No Destination Road Trip and think about how the coronavirus pandemic will be affecting the way we celebrate the upcoming holidays. Thanksgiving usually ushers in a frenzy of holiday buying, travel, celebrating and get-togethers. This year portends to be somewhat different for many of us in many ways. Still, we think we have lots to be thankful for.

October is Just A Little Further’s birthday month. Gentry launched the JAFL website on October 12th, 2012… 8 years ago. Since then we’ve done thousands of blogs from land and sea on every topic imaginable. You’ve traveled with us around the world… around great Southern Capes, across oceans, to African game parks, up the Sani Pass to Lesotho and down to the bottom of Death Valley. We’ve celebrated birthdays, circumnavigations, anniversaries and lives lived together. You’ve been there for the good times and you’ve been there for the bad times, too.
So, while we take a break for a couple of weeks until we’re off on our next road trip, we’ll regale you with blog posts from the past eight years. Some of the highlights you may remember; others may have escaped your attention along the way. Heck, we have to re-read some of the blogs ourselves to make sure we were the ones who actually visited some of the places we visited. ‘Wow… was that us?’
Enjoy the reminiscing and join us again towards the end of October as we begin our next road trip to points east. Today’s highlight: Rounding the Great Southern Capes
Was that us? Yup, I guess it was!
This is my last Days & Ways for awhile, so I thought I’d take you through the end of June. I know that’s a lot to take in, but I hated to leave you hanging with the rest of the month just sitting out there. I’m offering a few celebrations, a few ideas and a little food for mind, body and soul. We’re off on the Great 2020 Pandemic Road Trip, hoping and working to avoid the madding crowds and Covid-19.
Read MoreHi there and welcome to Just A Little Further!
We are David and Marcie Lynn and we've lived aboard our Liberty 458 cutter-rigged sailboat since 2000.
What began as an urge to travel slowly and economically at our own pace ended up an adventure of a lifetime.
Well, here we are ... nearly 90,000 miles under the keel, 5 continents, 5 Great Southern Capes, 36 countries and almost two decades later, still taking one passage at a time and going just a little further.
