We found our weather window! For our first sea trail test. It was as light as we wanted it. It was so amazing to spend the chill time we had in China Camp and we were ready move on too. Hope you enjoy the journey with us!
Cheers,

The next leg of our journey, separating ourselves from the dock. It feels SO good to be in the bay. Memo and his family come to join us and celebrate... with tacos! of course ;)
Thanks for watching!

The month of May... what a whirlwind! Now that the engine passes all tests we are back on track to leaving the dock asap. We had SO much to get done. It was so hard to share our decision to leave Swab in my sister's care. He is happy and he is loved and th...
We are happy to report we are traveling south! Rediviva completed her first 100nm yesterday. Heading set for Morro Bay to introduce her to her homeport. For a few weeks maybe then onto Southern California until hurricane season passes for Mexico in the fa...
Final test of our fortitude! The Westerleaky is at it again with another major leak we cannot ignore. In this episode we solve it. We tackled it as a team and got it fixed and tested in two days. Garrett's back constantly gives him issues so that's where I...
Another annual haul out in the bag! And… another engine problem to diagnose. We try and find a resolution fast so we can still get out this sailing season. Boats love to do this to you. Like a crazy lover to make you doubt yourself and your life decision...
Getting out on the river as much as we can to test Rediviva's systems. So far so good! The boatyard was able to squeeze us in so we check off our annual haul out for the year. Thank you to Jim for all your help with bottom paint and to my dad who caught a ...
Transmission is back! Let's go for a cruise up the river :)

A huge thank you to Christian and his family for being so welcoming. We take a fun road trip down to (Garrett’s hometown actually) Los Osos where Christian has his shop. We successfully rebuild our transmission and take a little time for ourselves. Thank...
A little wood work, a little engine work, and a little sewing. Killing some time until the more pressing issue of rebuilding our transmission is possible. Garrett and I are starting to realize we have to throw out the idea of a “plan.” Too many moving ...
We have been blessed to have the help that we've had recently. We got to work and meet Noe last year and he came back this year with his girlfriend, Victoria. We got so much done! Making it hard to say goodbye because we've become friends. I can't wait to ...
Thanks for watching everyone!

As I edit the rest of the crew keeps busy. I'm so proud of how much they filmed in my absence. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do! Victoria (https://www.instagram.com/viclexvisionary) has made such a beautiful piece on our main bulkhead. Incorporating som...

We’re gaining some speed on projects. We get the mizzen sheet figured out and continue on running the staysail sheet as well. Lingering winter weather disrupts only a few more days to then give way to beautiful spring conditions. Noe and Victoria arrive ...
We are so grateful for the help we’ve received, and continue to receive, from our community. It would be so much more daunting if we didn’t have the help from Christian and Jeff. And! All of you out there watching and encouraging us to continue. Alone ...
Our engine better run or else! We've bought a big box of engine parts and Garrett is working his way through it. Hoping to prevent any more surprises...
Thanks for watching!

So much to do so little time! We are sad to say that we will not be hosting a farewell to Napa party. We are making such awesome progress though, and know that we can still take full advantage of the wonderful weather season approaching. We are going to be...

Sooner or later we will be sipping on that margarita tropical style! It might not be today but we are closer than we were yesterday. Every day adds to the sum of building Rediviva and here's a glimpse into a few ;)
Thanks for watching everyone!

Come hang out with us as we install our yankee tracks to lead the sheets aft. We talk about the placement of the wenches we'll add and the platforms we'll have to make. We'll be filling you in on our engine troubles soon. All is still going well aboard thi...
The staysail boom is ready to be added. We get the staysail up to speed with our previous two sails, the main and the mizzen. Next week we continue on the yankee, our fourth and final sail at this time. Calm weather means we're working on the sails. The le...
4 out of 4 and we give Mike a 10 out of 10! Our 4 working sails are here and are being fitted to the boat. We will have other light wind and storm sails but these are the ones we'll use most often. As we were waiting for the staysail boom to dry we started...
Something AWESOME is coming!
