Taryn, Logan & Max
We are currently living on Vancouver Island on our 40 ft Van De Stadt Norman 40 Sailboat Papa Rumba, with our puppy dog Max.
Our videos show you our sailing adventures both above and below the water and our travel adventures. Emphasis on sustainability, ethical travel, nature and living with the smallest environmental footprint we can without going insane. We share sailing, hiking, road trips, camping, and exploring new places, as well as what it's like to live an alternative lifestyle on the water.

With an aging dog on our boat, sailing has become more difficult, but we have worked to find a couple of solutions to keep both him and us happy on the boat as he becomes less mobile. Both Seadek and a fancy dog harness have made a world of difference when...

We move onto the new boat officially and start digging into problem fixing- and there are many more problems than we realized when we bought the boat, from bad wiring to a sail that we can't lift up the mast.

We tear out our rotten and broken forward head, learn to fibreglass so we can make sure it doesn't rot on us again, and add some new color to the once monochrome room.

After one failed attempt, we head back into the Strait of Georgia and make our way into the Discovery Passage before heading up the Campbell River to our haul out marina.
Once up on the hard, we decided to take our mast off of our sailboat. This is the process. Even with it going smoothly and a 100 ft crane, it was still pretty stressful!
