Life After Landfall | Exploring the Marquesas Following Our Pacific Crossing
After crossing more than 3,000 miles of Pacific Ocean, we finally had a chance to slow down and enjoy life in the Marquesas Islands.
But life after landfall isn't just tropical anchorages and waterfalls. There were still boat projects to finish, new places to explore, and old friends to reunite with.
Join us as we settle into life in French Polynesia, repair our Code 55 sail, explore Taiohae Bay, sail to the incredible Daniels Bay, hike to Vaipo Waterfall, and spend time with friends while the kids enjoy everything the Marquesas has to offer.
Sometimes the best part of crossing an ocean isn't the crossing itself... it's what happens after you arrive.

Childhood Looks a Little Different Out Here
School. Chores. Sibling antics. Video games. And then there’s handling the dinghy, climbing the mast, and learning to take care of each other. They’re still just kids. They’re just growing up a little differently. We chose this sailing life because we wanted more time together—and watching our ki...
When Did This Stop Feeling Unusual?
At some point, the unusual became our everyday life. Laundry on the lifelines. Dinghy rides for errands. Homeschool wherever we happen to be. Kids growing up on the water. When we left Idaho, none of this felt normal. Now it’s simply life aboard Big Lost. What’s something in your life that once f...
We Wanted a Different Life… This Is Where It Took Us
We left Idaho looking for a different life. We had no idea that decision would eventually take our family across the Caribbean, through the Panama Canal, across the Pacific Ocean and all the way to French Polynesia. This week, the weather kept us sitting still in Tahiti—and for once, that gave us a...
We Were Supposed to Sail to Moorea Today…
We were supposed to sail to Moorea today. Then our friends sent us video from the anchorage—40-knot gusts and boats dragging anchor. Meanwhile, just a few miles away in Tahiti, the water was completely flat. So we stayed. Sometimes the best sailing decision is not to sail. ⛵ Follow Sailing Big ...
Maybe This Is the Point of Choosing a Different Life
We didn’t choose this life because it was easier. We chose it for more time together, more responsibility, more adventure, and the chance to build a life that actually feels like ours. What would you want more of in your life? #SailingFamily #IntentionalLiving #FamilyAdventure #SailingBigLost
