Chapter 177: The One With Poor Impulse Control

This is a brief update to fill you in because we aren’t exactly sure when we’ll be posting again… On the boat project front, we’re in pretty good shape. In last Sunday’s post, Kim described our struggles to rebuild the… Continue Reading →

Chapter 175: Wild, Wooly, and Wet

We Made It! That’s the headline. I’m writing this on Wednesday, October 22nd (otherwise known as Tuesday, October 21st for those in the Western Hemisphere). We pulled into Marsden Cove Marina near Whangarei in New Zealand this morning at 7:15…. Continue Reading →

Chapter 174: The One Without the Glamour

We’ve tried, I think (I hope) to share the upsides and also the downsides of this whole adventure (debacle) on this blog. Part of the reason is to dissuade anyone else from doing something so obviously foolish. Another part is… Continue Reading →

Chapter 173: Weather windows and passage anxiety…

Chapter 170: Manta Rays!

Another week in paradise! We explored Buliya Island, Vurolevu Island and sailed to Beqa this week. The islands are simply stunning-incredibly verdant and lush with friendly people everywhere we go. The villagers on these islands live simply, their lives revolving… Continue Reading →

Chapter 169: Jungle trails and hidden caves…

We left Mana island for Kaduvu on Monday morning. It was a bright sunny morning without a lot of wind so we had to motor for the first couple of hours. On our way to the Navula pass, we could… Continue Reading →

Chapter 168: The One with Survivor

And we’re off to explore Fiji! We bailed on the marina after getting the rig fixed: too hot! So we took off to Malolo Lailai and picked up an anchor spot there. It’s home to the Musket Cove Yacht Club,… Continue Reading →

Chapter 167: Bula from Fiji!

We departed from Tonga on Saturday the 9th with sunny skies and a bit of wind.  On the way out from Neiafu,  we had a final whale sighting in the distance to say goodbye! We were a bit nervous about… Continue Reading →
