The winter winds push in and push us north long the pristine national park of Isla Espiritu Santo in the Sea of Cortez -- and while we might not get much sleep with all the weather, it doesn't stop us from spearfishing & enjoying fresh fish tacos as we...

Almost a year after moving aboard , making it through a challenging, cold, and damp winter in the Pacific Northwest, facing countless projects and unplanned issues, then being pinned by weather for almost a month in-between pretty uncomfortable passages......
Come along as we sail our Caliber 40 LRC offshore down the California coast. Our biggest passage yet has it all: sailing in a near gale as we round the infamous Cape Mendocino, seemingly endless cold and fog, perfect sailing, and a SPECTACULAR wildlife sho...
After arriving in Crescent City in insanely dense fog, we settle in and wait over a week for our next weather window. And when it finally appears, we head back out into the fog for leg 3, add a new crew mate, and prepare to make our biggest jump yet.

Leg 2 of our voyage down the west coast of the States is here! We travel for 3 days and 2 nights from Newport OR to Crescent City CA -- and just as we approach land our visibility drops to 100 ft as dense fog rolls in. Come along for the ride!

Our journey down the coast of the States gets put on hold as we wait out massive gales raging around the capes just south of us. Come join us as we explore the quaint fishing town of Newport and keep ourselves busy as we wait to make our next jump south.
Leg one of our journey down the west coast of the United States: done! This episode is a recap of the highs and lows from our passage, and some gorgeous Oregon Coast scenery.

The day we've been waiting for is FINALLY here! We have to address our last minute issues that popped up, and then we untie the dock lines and sail out of the PNW for good, embarking on our first ocean passage ever.
We find ourselves 2 days away from The Big Left Turn: leaving the Pacific Northwest to sail down the coast of the United States in our first offshore passage. And nothing (nothing) goes to plan.
The leak saga continues! We finally limp our way over to the haul out and put via on the hard, in the hopes that we can easily fix the leak and be back in the water the next day.
Come join us for 15 minutes of anxiety! In this episode we have to move our boat without an engine (including docking it), and we get our first haul out and put Via on the hard. Whew!
Pretty much any boat owners worst nightmare: we find a salt water leak in the boat that requires immediate attention, and fixing it does *not* go to plan. At all.
In this episode we fully cut our ties with land life and FINALLY get to push off the dock. Come sail away with us as we travel from the San Juans to Seattle to make final preps for heading offshore!
We FINALLY push off the dock and complete an intensive 10 days of work! And just when we thought we were out of the woods, another unexpected situation unfolds. We just have to laugh as we take this one on!
The boat work saga continues! We are THISCLOSE to finally wrapping the huge task of replacing our standing rigging. Come hang on the dock while we chip away and prepare Via for offshore sailing!
Something AWESOME is coming!
