Burnetts Ahoy Is Back!
Welcome! You have stumbled upon a travel blog that chronicles the journeys of two nomadic professionals who live their lives by cycling between working their butts off in science and medicine and goofing around in a boat!
Mel and Greg are pleased to announce that their work cycle has ended! Allie and Isaak flew the crow’s nest for college! Mel burned out again! Greg is bored! And most important of all: The sailing kitty is…adequate!
So, dear readers, expect some boat-prep-posts once again, and please have some patience as Mel shakes off a little, er, rust from her writing skills. She promises she will do her best to make this blog more entertaining than the 1000’s of doctor’s notes she has written in the last 8 years!

Get the book if you are up for a journey through the Caribbean, Atlantic Ocean, Mediterranean Sea, the Spanish ship repair industry, and the challenges of raising and homeschooling two tweens on a boat!
