We made it to Florida and on Sava and have been living aboard for two days and nights. The adventure has already begun! Here is what it’s been like in our first days on board our new-to-us 46 foot sailboat.

Dommie on the Go
Introducing our cat Domino, who is joining us on our boat! We couldn’t leave this bundle of sweetness behind in Toronto. She likes warm weather and the sun. We’re not so sure how she’ll handle the sea and the movement bur hoping it goes well for all of us! Our little family is doing this together, me, Brian and Dommie on the Go!
Follow Dommieonthego
You can follow Domino’s adventures here on the blog, of course. One way to do that more easily is to subscribe to the blog. You can also follow cute Domino more closely on Instagram, where she goes by Dommieonthego.
Adventures of Dommie on The Go
In the next week, Domino is going to take her first plane trip in a carrier underneath the seat. I’m a little worried about how she likes it, but we have to get her to Florida somehow! Then we’ll introduce her to her new home, Sava. For a cat who has lived in the same home for 10 years, this will be an adventure for Domino too.
Domino’s Personality
We think Domino’s personality will help her get used to this new life. She’s playful but also relaxed, and she’s friendly. We all need to be friendly as we start this new life on a boat!
Cat on Board
We have no idea how Domino will fare, nor how we will, living aboard a 46foot monohull. What we do know is that other people have cats, dogs, and other pets, and kids, and disabilities on boats. We’ll figure it out and have fun doing it.
Do you have any tips for boating with a cat or other pet? Share in the comments. I’m sure Dommie on the go will appreciate them.

Our Next Adventure is Big
Have you ever woken up to sea turtles swimming around visiting you? Spent an afternoon sailing the sea surrounded by flying fish? These rewarding experiences are so enjoyable that once you’ve had them, you’ll want to repeat! Interacting with nature and being close to the sea are part of what compels me to embark on my next adventure.
We Bought a Boat!
Brian and I are packing everything away to sail the seas for at least a year. We bought a boat, and we’re going to live and travel on it. We’re starting in Florida and heading south from there. No exact plans – we’ll see how it goes and go with it.
This is not a lifestyle for everyone: some people think we’re crazy. Others think we’re “living the dream.” Me? I am excited, but our date of departure is fast approaching, and I don’t know what I am doing!
About Our Boat
Sava is a boat built for adventure. We’re pretty sure she’s been around the world, and she’s definitely been to The Bahamas. She’s in Florida now waiting for us, and I’ve provided more details and a tour where you can learn more about our new home.
