p.s. I try and reply to as many comments as I can but we are still so so busy so please do not take it personall...
As winter closes in on Corner Brook, Newfoundland, Arabella is almost ready to settle in for the season. With most of the harbor cleared out, it’s time for some of those quiet but satisfying projects that make cruising easier down the road.
In this episode, Steve marks the anchor chains and rodes w...
A little slower pace this week but it is our first weekly release since coming back from our break. Our September trip turned out successful in a way we didn't expect. Since boat parts hadn't arrived in the mail before our flight we came empty handed. This allowed us to take the time to cl...
This episode is an emotional roller coaster. After moving forward, it feels like we're taking two steps back. Unfortunately, we found that 80% of our work now involves fixing severe structural and leveling problems from the initial welding on the aluminum deck of our boat.
We face a huge chall...
Welcome to Part 2 of our structural nightmare! 🚢
After days of attempts, we finally found the definitive solution for the uneven and crooked deck. In this episode, the welder and I take a deep dive into the correction, using relief cuts and an ingenious aluminum "shrinking" technique to r...
This week aboard Arabella in Corner Brook, Newfoundland, Steve takes on a cozy mission while Robin is away: Mission: Warm Robin. With winter closing in and temperatures dropping fast, it’s the perfect time to prep both the boat and a special surprise for her birthday.
First, a quick fix for the Dic...
Summing up our August visit and only back in California for a few weeks then back for another week aboard Rediviva! We are trying to get back to full time cruising but we're still dealing with some family matters. Every time we're back aboard it gets harder to leave. We'll be putting ...
Join Steve and Robin aboard Arabella as they take on two unforgettable Newfoundland adventures—mountain biking the new Rocky Harbor trails and trad climbing the otherworldly Tablelands in Gros Morne National Park.

We're finally back on our aluminum sailboat with a new focus: finishing the structure as quickly as possible! And the fi...
This week aboard Arabella, we’re settling into our new home for the winter—the small but mighty harbor of Corner Brook, Newfoundland 🇨🇦. While many have asked, “Why would you want to live on a sailboat through a Newfoundland winter?” we’re here to show you exactly why!
From hooking up to shore powe...
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 we left (in November) the engine stopped pu...
Now that summer is coming to a close, it’s time for us to start winterizing our homebuilt wooden sailboat for the cold weather to come. Over-wintering in Newfoundland—on a sailboat, nonetheless—is a bold move, and one that we need to prepare for.
As the temps drop, condensation in the boat is becom...
Today we finally leveled the aluminum sailboat! ⚓️
We used a laser level to make sure everything is perfectly aligned before starting the welding — a big step toward making this dream boat real!
It looks simple, but there was a lot of wood, sweat, and laughs involved 😄
The welding started right afte...
This week, we’re moving our adventures from the ocean to the mountains: it’s time for a backpacking trip in Gros Morne National Park! With Akiva in tow, our plan is to backpack the combined Northern and Long Range Traverse. This challenging route is largely off trail, and covers about 46 miles of gr...
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 rollercoaster with us ;)

Welcome back to Newfoundland aboard Arabella! This week, we’re traveling by land and by sea, making our final passage before winter settles in for the season.
While Robin took the ferry back to Nova Scotia to shuttle the truck, I single-handed Arabella from Isle aux Morts to Codroy. Robin met me th...

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 week. This episode covers the emotions of...
After sailing thousands of miles, Steve and Robin embark on the final leg of their journey—navigating their sailboat, Arabella, toward her winter home in Corner Brook, Newfoundland.
In this episode, they prepare for a crossing over the notorious Cabot Strait, also known as “The Chuck,” known for it...

This week, we continue cruising the Bras d’Or Lakes, bringing Arabella from Macnabs Cove to Baddeck…with a lovely stop at Pellier Harbour on the way.
Robin was able to get some more experience with hoisting and lowering all four of Arabella’s sails, bringing us over to Pellier Harbour in one, long,...

This week, with the woods ban still in place, we decide to hightail it to Newfoundland via the Bras d’Or Lakes. We’re itching to get climbing, hiking and biking again!
Before we start sailing north, I took the time to do something that’s been on my to-do list for a while: calibrate our fuel dipstic...
