Intro

I guess this is where we provide the explanation behind the name: GET ON THE BOAT. This phrase comes from a trip taken on the Memorial Day weekend in 2009. Four good friends taking a cruise (for three of us, our FIRST cruise) to the Bahamas. So, all weekend we were on a boat (we even played the song by The Lonely Island over and over...our theme song, if you will). There were no worries on the boat, it was just...us. Anyway, this phrase just stuck. Anytime one of us was being lame we were immediately told to "get on the boat"! If one of us was taking a break from the scene, then we were "off the boat".

Rewind a few years before the trip to back in our college days, the word was "spark1". Spark 1 was used whenever we did something spontaneous (like take a random trip or eat ice cream in a strange place, ha). Combine the two and you get our web address:

In the beginning of the year, the boat crew made a collective resolution to try something new every week. So, at the end of the year you can say you tried 52 new things in the year! Neat, huh? The intention of this blog is to have a central point of communicating our experiences from trying our something new of the week.

We are approaching the 4th week of the New Year, so we're a little behind (as they say, better late than never...right?!). Here we gooooooo...
