Surf and Silence

—I’m Lindsey. Welcome! So glad that you’re here.


This site documents my journey as a mother, wife and novice sailor, educating, exploring, reflecting, creating and making a mess of things aboard our 45′ catamaran, Luckie Charm.

To date, my family and I have been living full-time on our boat. The crew includes David, husband and fearless captain, Harper, our brilliant and salty 8-year-old daughter, Charlie the sweetest boat dog, and me, the teacher, the chef, the chief conductor of all things that do not keep the boat afloat. But I’m learning.

If you choose to take a peek, there are journal entries {Dear Book}. A little nostalgic free verse poetry. Photos from our travels. Crafting adventures, and cooking at sea. The ebb and flow of Surf & Silence. And everything in between.

Key notes

  • Simplify content creation and ensure design consistency.
  • Streamlines the design process and saves time.
  • Pre-arranged collections of blocks.

Moreover, the WordPress community and theme developers are actively contributing to a growing library of block patterns, making it easier for users to find a pattern that suits their needs. Whether you’re building a landing page, a photo gallery, or a complex layout, there’s likely a block pattern ready to use.

This democratizes design for non-technical users while offering developers a way to extend WordPress functionality and provide more options to their clients.
