Endeavours and one for power cats,” Debbie relates. “People reach out to me, asking for advice on the boating life. Sometimes we get together in person – for docktails - when I give them a boat tour.” When Debbie first moved to living on water, she wasn’t sure how she would take to the lifestyle, so she kept a bunch of furniture in storage. Five years later, she loves life aboard the power cat as much as ever. This winter, she is going to downsize her stored belongings and move a few things to a smaller storage unit. “We have no desire to be back on land. The Endeavour has great living space.” One of the Russells’ favorite things about the American coastal communities is exploring the country’s various cuisines. They love the clam pizza on

Staten Island, the fresh shrimp and fish on the Outer Banks, Joe Patti’s Seafood in Pensacola, the oysters in Baltimore. In Fort Myers, they like to catch blue crab, which Debbie uses to make crab cakes. Debbie is even planning an Endeavour rendezvous in February at Cayo Costa. If you feel like getting your gypsy on, head out and meet Steve and Debbie – or head out on the water and live the flag fluttering free life that the Russells enjoy every single day.
