Part 2/Day 2 of starting the engine after 9 months. First we weren't sure if we had salt water intrusion but then after cleaning and pulling some parts it appears to be contained 👍 we moved onto a problem that was brought to our attention right before w...
Engines don't like to sit and boats don't like to be left alone... Sometimes they have to but with some elbow grease they come back! We weren't sure if we were going to recover from this one but by the end of the day there's a glimmer of hope. Ride the rol...
Much longer than planned we are finally able to return to Rediviva. She's been waiting in Mexico while we had to help family. We still need to sort out how to get back to cruising full time but it was extremely relieving to be aboard, even if only for a we...
Shirt steamer or wood steamer???

A little bit of what we love in this one; boatbuilding and sailing. Our niece, Alice was in town and got a hands-on experience with both. The boat we sailed is a Fuji 32. Our homeport is Morro Bay, California and we can't wait to splash the dinghy! We are ...

There is always more to say but this is something we feel we need to do for now. We really appreciate your understanding. It's not easy sharing your life with the world and sometimes a step back to regroup is necessary. We are so thankful for the opportuni...
A whole lot of fiberglassing as fall approaches! We complete all the fiberglassing on the exterior of our new 10ft. dinghy.

I have the sickness at the time of recording my voice-overs so pardon the nasally voice. Garrett gets through all the prep work to start laying glass! At the end of this episode, theoretically, the dinghy would float ;)

Chesapeake Light Craft coined the term LapStitch which is a stitch and glue construction of a lapstrake hull. The design we chose has lapstrake planking above the waterline. SO cool to see Little Red in totality!

Epoxy, the sticky stuff, brings so many pieces together. One step closer to it looking like a boat!
If you didn't catch in the last episode we will be roadtripping back to Baja with the dinghy to Rediviva ;)

Cutting out every piece from detailed plans to build our little tender for Rediviva is our summer project! Escaping the heat of Mexico and keeping the big boat safe in a hurricane hole we are in California spending time with Garrett's dad and building agai...
Saying goodbye to our home isn't easy but we are excited for the break from full-time travel and boat-life to get to build again!

Triggerfish and Shark Teeth! Our last anchorage before we leave the boat.
The "vicky" knife is the boss for cutting through the tough skin of the triggerfish:

Sailing down wind north as far as possible. Hurricane season has chosen our direction for us. Ultimately we'll reach Puerto Escondido before the end of June to tuck Rediviva onto a mooring. We'll return by land with a bunch of boat parts before the end of ...
We get some projects done then hoist anchor from Bahia de los Muertos. We have a great day of sailing but a rough, (mostly) windless night making us crave flat water and sleep. We find it in the turquoise shallows of Isla San Francisco.
Thanks for watchi...
After a week at sea we reach Bahia de los Muertos in Baja California Sur. We had no idea where we'd make landfall but reconnecting with friends on a beach we think of fondly sounded perfect 👌
Thanks for watching!
