Why the Zombie Princess?

Once upon a time, there was a boat with a hardy Krewe who sailed her into hurricanes, wild Gulf seas, and conch-covered island chains. In true zombie fashion and despite Mother Nature's best efforts, she proved hard to kill. The morale of the Krewe didn't fare as well.

If you want to get the full story of the ZP, read the early months of this blog (July through November 2005). It's a pretty interesting story, taking you through outfitting a sailboat for cruising; surviving hurricanes Katrina, Rita, and Wilma; grunting out a Gulf passage; running away to DisneyWorld; and our ultimate decision to come home.

Here are some highlights:
