Our FIRST Thai Island experience and we’re loving it. On our first day, we go for a chill beach walk and just take in the sights and smells and let ourselves start the relaxation process lol. We get a lay of the land in the Lam...
Off on another adventure! This time we are travelling down south to the islands from Bangkok to Surat Thani by overnight sleeper train, and continuing on to Koh Samui. We’ve never done anything like this before and had a great time! It’s cheaper than a...

We spent hours transporting ourselves to the famous Phed Mark restaurant in Bangkok (Mark WIENS’ Pad Kra Pao Restaurant!!) and walked it off on The Green Mile before arriving at Terminal 21 Mall for some more snacks and then took a terrifying tuktuk ride...
We hit the streets (and the river) and continue our exploration of Bangkok, beginning with the famed and BEAUTIFUL Wat Arun. We could have spent all day here! But - the sun was hot and our throats parched so we headed off to another Bangkok Institution: J...

The time has come to *sob* remove the sails and get Joco ready to go on the hard for a few months. So frustrating that as Canadians, we are only allowed 6 months/year in the USA👎

As Vancouver, BC, Canada natives, we are used to the rain but not the ice - thi...

Sitting at the dock is no fun so of course we go around looking for more projects to tackle on this old boat.
You get the discovery, analysis and game plan of this next fix of ...
We’ve been towed (again) to a marina in North Carolina USA to hopefully get our problems fixed once and for all! Since we have asked the help of some professionals, we decided to take a much needed DAY OFF and go to the beach for a day of sun and sand.

3rd Times a charm ??? Not sure we like this saying …
It appears our Exhaust Fix did not work the way we hoped and once again we rely on TowBoat US to save us.
We try to stay positive and enjoy the ride; fake it till you make it!!!
Thanks for Watching!

Being Stuck at a marina with a busted engine exhaust system was not what we had planned when we left on our Sailing adventure, but here we are.
Due to Covid, the boat mechanics in the area were either booked up for weeks or had flat out quit 😳 So, we h...

So much for a happy birthday to the Captain??
