One of the main obstacles I came across when deciding to move aboard our Catalina 30 sailboat was “how will we get our mail?!”. It seems simple, but important!
We can’t believe it has been 1 year since moving aboard our Catalina 30 sailboat. It has been a year of learning and growth as we figure out boat life.
This week I got off the boat and explored the ocean in a slightly different way - by going on a surf trip! We explore Tofino and the surrounding area, surfing.
This week was spent 'catching up', so I take you along for a day in my life off the boat. I spent the day exploring the lake and hanging out with the wildlife.
This project turned into a much bigger ordeal than I had planned. While tearing up the old laminate flooring in the boat I found a very unpleasant surprise...
We couldn’t have asked for a better day to take our Catalina 30 sailboat out for a sail! The winds were light but still enough to fill Blue Moon’s sails.
This was a fun part of the van build because we were finally able to put a lot of pieces together and finish off the conversion so it was ready to hit the road.
Winter van life has some unique struggles, and as the seasons change from fall to winter we are finding fewer and fewer places to park the van for the night.
We continue to make our way East through the colourful maple forests of Ontario. We have loved exploring the stunning landscapes of this area in Canada.
What is it like to live on a sailboat during huge rainstorms here in British Columbia? It actually isn’t too bad, as long as we keep an eye on all the leaks...
What does Van Life look like in Ottawa, Montreal and Quebec? In this vide we visit three of Canada's most interesting cities, including the capital buildings.
Our van broke down 7000 km away from home in what felt like the middle of nowhere. We almost made it to Nova Scotia but broke down on the side of the highway.
One of the risks of van life during the winter months in Canada is that sometimes you get caught in a blizzard or snowstorm!
Something AWESOME is coming!
