Live Update: August 29, 2023 (Patreon)

Hi Guys!

It has been a minute since our last live update. I've missed them :)

First order of business. We are having a meet-up here in Charleston this Sunday, September 3rd. It will be open to the public at 2 p.m., but we will have a Patreon-only time from 12- 2 p.m. If you are in the area, we hope you can make it!

It is at Holy City Brewing, 1021 Aragon Ave., North Charleston, SC 29405

Second, we are going to the Annapolis Boat Show this year! It will be Mads first ever boat show; we are both so excited. If you plan on going, here is our discount code for $5 off: 23SAILABS.

We will also have a Patreon-only meet-up in Annapolis during the week/weekend of the boat show. We will keep you posted on the date, time, and location for that too :)

Last but not least, we will be doing a little road trip from Georgia to the boat show. We thought it would be cool to check out and tour some old boats as we did with the Passport and Ocean 60. If you know of any old and decrepit 50-60ft boats collecting dust somewhere between Georgia and Maryland, let us know; we would love to see them :) 

Photo Time!

Here are a few more photos of the wedding. I promise this will be the last ;) Mads posted some, but I want to highlight the incredible boat my Dad surprised us with and built as our Alter. It really made the wedding :) It was such a perfect day. Exactly how we imaged it :)  

I made these giant ceramic heads in high school that I can't believe my parents have kept all these years. Luckily, they worked well as our replicas ;)

We did a bowline know-tying ceremony. I may or may not panicked in front of everyone and completely forgot how to tie a bowline. Mads had to re-teach me the alter! 

That's my sister and maid-of-honor, Nina, crying and giving her speech. Julian, Nina's husband, was Mad's best man :) Then, at the bottom from left to right is my brother Sammy, my Dad, Sam, and my mom Helen Melon ;)

I still can't believe I got Mads on the bounce house!

Of course, our guest book was a Red vs. Black Licorice chart :) We thought this would be cool to bring back to the boat to use as our guest book for when people visit Athena too :)

This photo is not from the wedding, but it is from our Patreon Meet up in Michigan! It was so great to sit down and talk with you all in person. Thank you all for coming out. We know it was quite the drive for everyone, and we really appreciate it! It was such a fun day!
