I had a fun birthday celebration aboard Wonderstruck. The kids decorated the boat with streamers and balloons. We spent the day at Driftwood Beach (now one of my favorite places). We then ate fish tacos at Bubba Garcia’s on St Simons Island. Then we returned to the boat for presents…
My parents came to visit for Memorial Day weekend and we decided to take the boat out. The plan was to take the 6 hour trip down to Cumberland Island, anchor overnight and then return. We checked the weather, it looked good. We checked the sea forecast– waves 3-5 feet,…
Sea trial #2 went off better than sea trial #1. We had full tanks of diesel and plenty of water just in case for our “three hour tour”. We motored out and then I took the helm to get a feel for the boat. I’m sure the people fishing on…
Two of our dock mates had birthdays on May 15th so we hosted our first boat party. Our friend Benito speared a fish right off our dock and then grilled it. He also made fried tacos and pico de gallo. We had cake and ice cream for dessert and…

Mothers’ day is always a pretty big deal in the Kelley family and this time the kids went over the top. The kids planned and put on a wonderful Mother’s Day Celebration on Wonderstruck. It started with breakfast in bed…pancakes and coffee. Then they presented us with our gifts. They…
The kids were really wanting to take the boat out. So we compromised with a dinghy ride. The only way to get the dinghy out around the boat would involve untying the boat from the dock, so we decided to try and fit under. Good thing we did…
Arguably one of the most difficult concepts in life for us to grasp is the art of waiting patiently, but sometimes what we learn and who we become in the process of waiting is even more important than what we’re waiting on. For those who know me, you probably…
There was an aerial kite photographer at the Brunswick Landing Marina and he took these photos. Our boat is the first one on the dock on the right hand side (you can see the green kayak). If you look closely you can even see Brooke standing near the Starboard transom…
