Update as of May 30, 2018:
Serenity is currently in Boston, MA. I swapped a new-old engine into over winter (2017-18), and she's ready for more adventures!
For my most recent route plans, check out what's at the top of for posts labeled Planning and Plotting. For most recent updates on my location, see the Updates (some overlap). I'm working on a better way to organize this, but if you're wondering what I'm up to most currently there's always my Instagram (@quezzie) and Facebook.
