One of the keys to King Neptune’s sailing garden is making sure the roots actually touch the water. On our trip from Kodiak to Shumagin Islands we motored into the wind for several days. At times we would stop the pump so that during rougher moments the water wouldn’t slosh […]

King Neptune’s 2019 Garden contains 4 Big Beef tomatoes, 4 Kale, 3 Mini Bell Peppers, 2 Jalapeno, 1 Basil, 1 Oregano, 1 Thyme, 1 Cilantro and one empty. The empty spot was for rosemary but we were having troubles finding good seed starts. Our summer voyage of Alaska’s Aleutian Chain […]
October 23rd Howdy Ho everyone, Things have improved drastically for us. Our last noon report mentioned considerable troubles including a malfunctioning head that led a “poopy” of a day. Justin, if your reading this, it made us think of your “Sh*t-apocalypse of 2015″(this is as Justin calls his event), another […]
Poseidon’s Garden theory is in effect and working wonderfully! We are no longer circulating the water through the tubes in King Neptune’s Garden. Generally, on a timer 16 times a day water is pumped from a reservoir, stored in one of our compartments, into the top garden tube (aka fence […]
We have been in Honolulu almost 2 months! We had no major boat issues to make our journey to Alaska, and all we needed was some groceries. However, we made more work for ourselves. By day we have been working on boat projects and at night we spend time with […]
We are ringing in the New Year in Pape’ete Tahiti, and New Years Day with a new sail. The last couple of days we have been busy getting food, fuel, taking down Christmas lights, raising the dingy, cleaning the boat bottom, doing laundry and it goes on and on. Our […]
We pulled up anchor this morning and we motored around the southern end of Tahiti. The wind and waves picked up so we wrapped King Neptune’s Garden in plastic to protect it from the sea spray. Traveling the south end of Tahiti is beautiful with steep mountain peaks. Sections of […]
We planned for a play day, but ended up working. We moved the boat in the morning and anchored near the Taapuna pass, which is northwest Tahiti Nui. There are a lot of coral heads and the reef is nearby so we planned to paddle board for the day and […]
We had a wonderful Thanksgiving Day with pumpkin pie, turkey, dressing (southern stuffing), green beans, and mashed potato with gravy. We have two ovens one propane and one electric, so cooking everything was a breeze. Our Black Friday was busy exploring opposed to shopping. We started with the Moorea Tropical […]
We found a weather window and we are into the wind again. We waited a day to let the sea calm down and the waves lay a little flatter, but the conditions are still not as ideal. Sara has been able to maintain her meals, but still remains a little […]
Haha, we were boat bound for six days because of weather. With our Wifi amplifier we have been surfing the web and being internet bums. We wish the connection was good enough to upload more photos, but really the connection was only good enough for browsing, texting, and Christmas shopping! […]
Huge bummer! We fished the entire way between Raiatea and Huahine with our new hand-lines and not even a nibble. We had a little hope when birds started to circle near the Avamoa Pass outside of the main village Fare, but then as we got closer they just sat on […]
