We have been following Mads from Sail Life for years and have enjoyed occasional chats over the computer. This past weekend, for the first time, we were able to meet him in person, and were honoured to have him stay aboard Paragon. Before he left, Mads was...

Land Ho! After nearly a week at sea, Paragon arrives at her last destination on the North American continent. Of course it's not all smooth sailing as a thick fog descends just as we near the harbour. But a fantastic group welcomes us (with not one pod, bu...
There's a buzz in the air, and this time it's not a plane. Land! We can smell it and, despite being a day away, the entire crew is excited! There's still much to do as Mo gets a lesson in setting the sails just as a heavy fog envelops the boat. Will the mi...
It's a bird! It's a plane! It's...all of the above? We get some expected and unexpected visitors (dolphins anyone?) as we near the end of our sail to Newfoundland. A difficult night makes for a subdued day, and we all look forward to making landfall soon.

This wet and grey day aboard Paragon is spent keeping watch and checking systems. Racor filter? Check! Leak from the binnacle? Not good! Whale off the starboard bow? Check! Wait whaaaaaaat!!!

Light and variable winds? A rolling boat? A whisker pole that just won't cooperate? It's all made good when the captain cooks up somthing fabulous! Let's check out the galley and see how well you can eat at sea...at least when Drake is the cook! Stay with ...
If you had a choice between an auto pilot or a wind vane, which would you choose? We discuss this and more as Paragon voyages into her second, rather foggy day...and even enjoy a taste of Christmas Sex in Mexico? Stay with us!

The anchor is up and Paragon is underway. With the wind in our sails the journey is off to a good start...now if only we had a better view. Leave it to Drake to take matters into his own hands.

Lunenburg has been great fun but, when a weather window presents itself, the decision is made to push off for Newfoundland. We scramble to get Paragon sorted for a longer voyage yet also find time for a bit of practice filming with Harry. We won't let a bi...
While Drake stays aboard to finish preparations for pushing off, Eanna and Mo head to shore. They split up and Eanna checks out the sweeter side of Lunenburg at the Ironworks Distillery...including Phoebe, the cutest greeter ever! Then we pour over the wea...
Living together in close quarters is part of the reality of this adventure, and open communication helps to keep it smooth sailing for everyone. Drake and Éanna take some time (over beers!) to check in with one another and discuss what lies ahead. They al...
"The rigging is right, the sail is right, but they're not right together." -Éanna. A new jib of a different size caused all sorts of problems while at sea. With no time to install new harware, a decision is made to swap out this new sail for the older, la...
While preparing to go to shore, Eanna and Drake reflect on the experience with Canadian customs. A bit of a look around Lunenburg ends at a local pub (Knots aren't just for the boat!), and the night ends with a somber reminder of the seriousness of a life ...
Paragon enters Lunenburg Harbour and is greeted by the sweet smell of land. There's no rest for the crew, however, as they scramble to contact customs and learn that the journey may not be over. Will they need to travel an additional five hours to meet wit...
