Tyler and Kayleen left Campbell River, BC summer 2022 on their 1981 Tartan 42’ after spending two years preparing for this journey!
Tyler is a bilateral below knee amputee, adapting to the sailing lifestyle with humility. He is a gold medalist in the Beijing 2022 Snowboard Cross.
Kayleen grew up cruising with her parents and comes from a family of Mariners. Although she comes from a marketing background, she now is a commercial scuba diver and writes sailing articles on the side.
The sailing goal is to get south to Mexico and then we will see where the wind takes is.

Rather a follow along and laugh at (or learn from) my mistakes.

Sometimes things have to be pulled apart before they can be improved and put back together! In this episode my dad and I take apart the stuffing box, coupling and prop shaft to inspect and replace hose, I get carried away taking out old vinyl flooring, and...
I originally bought this old non-gimballed Force 10 oven at a used marine garage sale a year ago and thought it may take a weekend to install. It turns out working on a boat while living on it is harder than I thought. Thanks to Malcom at Trotac Marine for...

Progress has been a bit slow this past month, as I've been away for work and to surf! Things are ramping up again, so here are the latest updates on Spray.

I had one day up in Comox to work before I came down with a head cold. My dad and I got the lifelines done and got a great start on the hard dodger I've been dreaming about for months! We started with a cardboard mockup to get an idea of the shape before u...
If I turn into my parents, I'd be okay with that!;)
I asked my parents to show me around their boat, a Formosa 51', which they reluctantly stepped in front of the camera for. Even I learned some neat upgrade ideas!

Victoria's Day long weekend means 2 things:
- Lots of time to work on projects
- My birthday!
I got lots of painting done while my parents are out using their boat. But it does mean I end up talking to the camera a lot. Perhaps I'm lonely? More like I jus...
We added a hard dodger to the list when the boat first came out of the water. It was one of the jobs on the list that I didn't think would actually get done! This project was one that I relied heavily on my dad for, he tested his carpentry skills and I wil...
We got a ton done for my last weekend working alongside my dad before they head off for a month-long bike trip. This weekend I was way more focused on getting jobs done than actually filming, so there are quite a few half-explained projects. Feel free to a...
I'm finally getting to the point where I'm doing things that actually show and look good! And holy smokes does it look good!

Some may call me crazy to have worked on my boat Spray for months and then to sell her! But, alas, here I am. Or, I should say, here we are! Welcome back to All About Spray and to our new boat, Footloose, a Tartan 42'!

After discovering our fuel was full of bacteria, we decided to pull the whole tank so that we could get it professionally cleaned.
Tyler: @tyturner14
Kayleen: @fromsnowtosail
After a week of ripping apart the fuel tank, get it professionally cleaned and then putting it all back together, we were so excited to finally use the boat! Too bad the boat had other plans.

We finally leave the dock for a night at anchor and it feels so good! We try a new anchoring technique and have some issues with Carl's engine.

We went to go tighten the stuffing box, but realized our wrenches won't fit unless we take the transmission off! So that's what we did.
Brandon joined me for a trip into the edge of Desolation Sound, where we met up with my parents on their Formosa 51'.

Kayleen spends a week resealing the Lewmar hatches and portlights, which all started leaking with the first rain of the season. Tyler takes the boat out with the Canadian ParaSnowboard team and things go badly. CARL saves the day, again. What a guy.

After another fix on the drive shaft/transmission coupling, we were ready to take Footloose off the dock again. Things didn't go swell. Tyler and Kayleen are getting frustrated and have differing opinions that lead to some tense moments. A big thanks to ou...

Tyler gets real and shares the real side of living aboard our Tartan 42' as a bilateral below knee amputee. Things aren't so simple and often lead to hopping or crawling around.
So why live on a boat? Tyler lost his legs in a skydiving accident in 2017. ...
Kayleen's best friend, Sylvia, asked to go sailing for her birthday, so that's what we did! Although her real wish was to practice man overboard (thanks for being a trooper Brandon). We explore Maud Island, which is only an hour cruise away, but it ended u...
Part 2 of my best friend's birthday wish: scuba diving with Nibbles! We go exploring our marina in search of the elusive neighbourhood seal, but find something else instead.
Disclaimer: I am not an instructor and would not take just anyone diving in a mar...
Kayleen takes advantage of a dry day to tackle adding supports to the mast where it meets the deck. But the weather turns and the battle of moisture starts.
Like my Helly Hansen gear? In this video I'm wearing:

We decide to sell our generator to Kayleen's parents for their Formosa 51' to use that money to purchase a whole solar set up! No regrets?
A big storm rips through our marina and Tyler holds down the fort.

Kayleen tackles engine problems and in classic boat fashion it ends up multiplying into months of jobs. Thanks to Farrell for providing his expertise (as always). And good job Tyler, you did a great job putting your headlamp on.

Kayleen's second attempt of combining sailing and skiing on Canada's gnarly coast. Spring brings all sorts of weather and the sail there is just as exciting as the turns on the snow.
