Holly and Ray Sail Across the Pacific Ocean (Part 4)
Last week you watched us test out every head sail we own as we navigated our way through the doldrums. This week, join us as we catch our first glimpse of land upon arriving in the Marquesas Islands. I’ll be honest – I’m a bit nervous about going into the Pacific for the first time! The thought of it is absolutely terrifying, but exciting at the same time! Let’s hope everything goes well.The Journey
It’s day 23 of our Pacific Crossing and we’re just under 900 miles away from Papa. The winds have been amazing and we’ve had 6-9 foot seas for the past week. We adjusted course this morning so we’re now on our rhumb line to our destination.The Challenges
We’ve had a few challenges along the way. For example, we tracked down noises on the boat and ended up lubing up our Hollard with conditioner for the fifth time this trip! Sounds silly, but it works.The Experiences
One of the most interesting things we’ve experienced on this journey is changing time zones. We’ve changed time zones a couple times and it’s been a little confusing at times.The Arrival
We finally arrived in the Marquesas Islands, and we could not be more thrilled. We had an anxious but exciting few days leading up to our arrival.What’s Next?
Now that we’ve completed this epic journey across the Pacific Ocean, we’ll be taking a few days to catch up on sleep and cleaning. However, our adventures will continue – check back next week for more details.LAND HO!⛵️Sailing Across the Pacific Ocean (Part 4) Locations

OpenCPN vs qtVlm: Why We Switched
After several years with OpenCPN and a couple of years using qtVlm as our primary navigation software across the Pacific, we're sharing what made us switch, what qtVlm does better, what it doesn't, and who we think it makes sense for. A quick disclosure: We donate to the qtVlm developer ...
We built the perfect anchor alarm system🚨 Here is how we use it
When we arrived at the anchorage, Holly handled the windlass while I talked through how we set the anchor. We’ve also got the anchor alarm running on a split screen, so you can see it working in real time, including when the alarms go off. The anchor watch is a custom Home Assistant setup that take...
Life at Anchor Just Got Better: Our Anchor Alarm & Bow Shade
Two things have really changed the way we live at anchor this season. The first is our custom anchor alarm, which means we can both sleep easier at night. The second is the new shade over the bow. Together, they give us more comfort and peace of mind while living at anchor. When we arrived at the ...
Our worst nightmare happened and we weren’t as prepared as we thought.
Between the two of us, we’ve been sailing for a long time. We know the theory. We know where every piece of distress equipment on this boat is. We don’t skimp on insurance policies. But when an emergency actually happened, none of that seemed to matter. What we had was a pounding heart, a serious ...
The Emergency We Weren’t Ready For
