Yep we’re still in Dutch Harbor. We just couldnt leave, haha. We have been in t-shirts until less than a week ago. Blue skys and sun. Its hard to leave. We have picked more blueberries. Hiked. Fished. We finally learned to catch halibut. We have to give a huge shout […]
Iridium Go has become more like an Iridium “No Go” lately. We hung around King Cove a little this morning trying to get our Iridium Go data connection fixed, to no avail. We’re still using our Single Side Band (SSB) to get weather grib files and send Noon Reports and […]
Yesterday we moored in Petersburg to hopefully find parts for the outboard. Sadly the parts we replaced didn’t fix the issue so we bought oars to match the vintage of the vessel. While Sara and Wade waited for Justin to finish transferring fuel and preparing the boat today they met […]

We walked off the boat this morning to drums beating and Polynesian dancers arriving on small boats, along with many other small boats and outriggers. Tahiti welcomed Paul Meilhat SMA Vendee solo racer with open arms after his withdraw from third place. He left the Vendee race because of a […]
A couple of days ago we pulled up anchor and headed to Papeete. We had waited a few days in Moorea for the weather to get a little better, but the swells and waves were like sailing in a washing machine. Papeete feels like Honolulu with crowds of people, bumper […]
