Long before JustALittleFurther.com made its debut in 2012, we had a website and documented our travels. We’ve been recounting our adventures and misadventures since 2000 when we first moved aboard Nine of Cups.

October is Just A Little Further’s birthday month. Gentry launched the JAFL website on October 12th, 2012… 8 years ago.

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

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.
