S/V Julia sailed into Hilo, Hawaii on June 5th after 15 days at sea to mark the end of our second Pacific Crossing! And fortunately, this part of the passage didn't require me to jump in the ocean! Instead, we got to focus on fishing, sailing (after finding the tradewinds) and even doing a fe...

57 – Mainsail Rips Are No Fun
It's always the last day of a passage when things go wrong! We set sail from New Zealand to head back up to Tonga for another South Pacific cruising season. The passage was a bit of a tricky one with strong winds, then light winds and then shifting strong winds. We managed to take it all in...
