Yesterday morning had a crisp chill in the air and the temperature in the morning was around 40 degrees. We haven’t harvested the garden yet, so we were a little worried about the plants wilting. As the sun came up it warmed the cockpit to 80 degrees. In the cockpit […]

Dawn seems to come later and later. Sunrise today was 8:42 am. We laid in bed and watched a little rays enter through the skylights as we slowly started to wake up. To our surprise, outside we heard a whiney outboard go by us. Sara made a joke to Wade […]
Or perhaps instead this blog post could be entitled Moo-burg (like hamburger) or Moo Town, Cow Town, well you may be getting the idea that there are cows around our anchorage this evening. Yes, we have struck beef, not gold, in this anchorage outside an abandoned gold mining town that […]
Foggy, rainy, and windy this morning. We didn’t even feel like going to shore for a stroll on the beach. Last night before going to bed we noticed our alternator must have stopped charging the batteries while we were underway because shortly after we were anchored our batteries were low […]
Yesterday we lost pressure to our fresh water lines. We checked the head and galley faucets nothing was leaking. We switched water tanks thinking maybe one of the water tanks had a vacuum, but still the pressure was lost. We would flip on and off the breaker to the water […]
Yesterday we spent anchored in English Bay. We enjoyed beautiful sunny and warm weather with a light breeze. If felt like 65 to 70 degrees outside. We went dinghy fishing for more halibut so we could have two poles in the water, but Wade was the only one to catch […]
A week ago, before the last blow that passed through Dutch Harbor, a couple of police officers stopped by our boat to check on us. They wanted to make sure we were ok, the boat was in good condition, and what our plans were for the winter. The informed us […]
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 […]
We awoke this morning to what seemed to be a bright and sunny day, but going outside revealed that we were surrounded by fog. It seemed so unusual that it could be so bright out while at the same time being socked in by fog. Sara flew her drone above […]
So this is a first! We normally don’t anchor at midnight, but today was a busy day. Someone who shall not be named decided to sleep in until 10 am. We won’t judge, but our day got a late start. We first dropped the dingy and went to shore to […]
We had a wonderful 4th of July celebration in the village of Sand Point. We went into town and everyone was so welcoming and invited us to their homes for dinner. We declined primarily because we had previously prepared a crab dinner feast on the boat. We have two crab […]
According to regulations we hit our daily fishing limit on Black Rockfish. Sara was on fire, each time her lure sank to the bottom she felt a tug then another tug, and pulled up two big Black Rockfish. The average age for Black Rockfish is 15 to 75 years old […]
