Encircled by ice, we face the risk being crushed if we don't keep the water flowing around our boat. In this episode, we're awoken in the middle of the night when the ice floe breaks apart, sending ice surging into our boat, crushing up against our hull. E...

With awful sudden news, we leave Northern Reach in Toronto and head to the island paradise of Barbados to spend time with family over the holidays. We go deep sea fishing with Talia's brother, James, and his father-in-law Graham on his completely rebuilt b...

In this episode of Towards the Adventure, we're not quite done wrapping our sailboat for the winter when a 2 day storm hits us. Winds over 140kph/80mph shake our boat and have us rolling heavily while tied to the dock. Things fall over, and we're on edge a...

In this episode of Towards the Adventure, our crew spends 20 hours putting shrink wrap on our boat, as we await a winter storm. The winds pick up earlier than expected, and we end up putting a hole in the boat's shrink-wrap. Our tiny home on the water will...

Still working on last week's TO-DO list, as it goes: boat work never ends. Then we figure out how to build a frame to shrink-wrap your boat for the winter... We try to piece together the previous owner's frame and adjust it since we're leaving the WHOLE RI...

WE FINALLY GET ALL 4 SAILS UP on our Whitby 42 Ketch. We also manage to CRASH a drone into the lake where it sinks to the bottom with all of our HD footage. If you're curious about flying drones off boats, this is a great what 'NOT TO DO'. We continue sett...

We're not ALL-IN sort of people... we didn't quit our jobs, and drop everything to sail around the world, and we weren't prepared to take on a full-time "bring it back to life" sailboat. However, we were prepared to move and live aboard a boat while doing ...

We finally buy our boat, move aboard and sail away! We spill some champagne, and sail through some storm conditions in 30kts and 5-6 foot waves to move SV Northern Reach down one of Canada’s Great Lakes. It's amateur hour when we fill our boat with smok...

Selling everything we own to move aboard a boat, and make the transition from typical Toronto row house dwellers, to full-time liveaboards, right before winter in Ontario, Canada. Downsizing by 75%. Follow us as we sell our stuff, we sell our first boat an...

Welcome to our very first video! We thought it'd be nice to tell you a little bit about who we are and how we got to this point. And what a trip down memory lane it was to make this video: over the last 6 years we've been to over 20 countries on all sorts ...

The Whitby 42 and the Brewer 42 are both proven bluewater cruisers, but is this one a worthwhile project? You decide. Be sure to subscribe and ring that notification bell to be on the look out for our next video. You're going to want to watch it! -----...

The Our Dreamtime crew may be back in the mundane world of working Monday to Friday for a little while to rebuild our cruising funds but we still love to get our ketch off the dock and out on the water whenever we can. Join us for a glimpse of our aquatic...
