All Hands On Deck - Ready, Set, Build! - Ep. 29
On this episode of the Osborne Adventure Podcast, Val and I take a moment to dive into the final big step before our expedition—our upcoming move to British Columbia. After two and a half years of preparation, we are about to undertake one of the biggest milestones of hauling Salome out of the water for her refit. We share what it will take to get the boat ready, the excitement of this next chapter, and the major changes it means for our family. It’s exhilarating, it’s daunting, and it’s all part of the adventure. Join us as we reflect on the journey and the road ahead.
Val and I share an unexpected experience after being invited to an elementary school assembly where 300 students gathered for a presentation about Down syndrome led by a fourth grader named Hailey. What followed were thoughtful questions, funny moments, and a firsthand look at how deeply kids connected with our family, our mission, and the idea of adventure without limits.
