Best of the Wild West Road Trip -Texas/New Mexico

Best of the Wild West Road Trip -Texas/New Mexico

Whenever we complete a trip, be it a passage on Nine of Cups, a long walk in Europe or a road trip in the USA, we like to take the time to recall the highlights of our travels and document them. At our age, we do this mostly so we can actually confirm we ever took the trip and didn’t imagine it. Did we go there? Really? We did that? When?

Just a Little Further

Hi 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.
