I meant to test four main new boat upgrades... INSTEAD...... I figured out that I can steer my boat with my body! (This was done on a small/shallow body of water under calm conditions with no one nearby or downwind.)

After nearly a year in Canadian waters, it's finally time for Arabella to say goodbye to Newfoundland and begin the long journey south.
But there is still one adventure left. Steve returns to the Nuddick for a final attempt at establishing a new multi-pitch climbing route, this time with his l...

After 3 years of service Steve makes a big change to the rudder head taking off the bronze hardware and replacing it with a more traditional wooden setup. Not too much bronze has been removed from Arabella (fortunately!), but this change will make steering much more pleasant.
Then the crew makes o...
Months of preparation have led to this moment.
After hauling hundreds of pounds of climbing and camping gear deep into Newfoundland's wilderness, we finally establish base camp beneath the Nuddick—a spectacular granite wall that, as far as anyone knows, has never been climbed.
Before any firs...
The adventure we've been planning all winter has finally begun.
After leaving the tiny outport of Francois, we make the journey north to Twillingate in search of Newfoundland's famous spring icebergs before returning to Arabella and continuing east along the remote south coast.
Then come...
This is the story of how I bought my dream power sailor boat, a 2001 MacGregor 26X for more than half of what it was originally listed for. It wasn't easy, but over the course of four days and three nights, I am one step closer to my dream of exploring EVERYWHERE in North America!

Sometimes chasing tour dreams can take you a long way from everything else. A rock climbers dream summer trip is in the making as Steve and Robin close in on The Nuddick, a massive and virtually unexplored wall that is WELL off the beaten path, by a LOT. Hang with us as we spend the next couple of m...
Arabella is free of her long winter stay in Corner Brook and things are back on the move again. After some shuffling back and forth Robin and Steve start to make their way east toward this summers ultimate destination, a virtually unexplored gigantic cliff called The Nuddick.
There's plenty t...
A long overdue repair, the mahogany from the original Victoria has just not held up to the rough and tumble life in Steve's tender. So just before setting sail for the south coast, Steve got this project done enough to get Victoria functional and ready to make the passage.
--------------------...
After eight months tied to the dock in Corner Brook, Newfoundland, Arabella is finally getting ready to move again.
This week, Steve removes the winter cover, finishes a series of custom sewing projects aboard the boat, hauls Arabella for her spring maintenance, and gets her ready for another seaso...
Spring may have arrived on the calendar, but Newfoundland hasn't gotten the memo.
With cold rain, wind, and freezing temperatures delaying the bigger projects, Steve turns his attention to the long list of maintenance jobs that keep a wooden sailboat ready for life offshore.

Here is a quick video showing how we dealt with our failing lower aft stay while 1000 miles offshore on our way from Hawaii to Alaska, and then how we replaced it once we arrived to Alaska. In retrospect, I would have carried lengths of dyneema to serve as emergency rigging, but we worked with what ...
Wrapping up bigger canvas projects means a lot of leftover material, so Steve takes a couple of hours to knock out a quick, practical upgrade for Arabella’s 100-foot nylon anchor rode. Replacing an old, non-draining nylon stuff sack that was a hassle to flake rope into, Steve builds a custom "b...
Before Arabella heads south for another season of exploration, Steve returns to where the journey first began—the woods and stumps where the oak trees for the boat were harvested more than 10 years ago.
What was once a busy milling site covered in sawdust, logs, and lumber stacks has slowly returne...
Winter still has Newfoundland in its grip, but while the harbor freezes over again outside, work aboard Arabella continues.
This week, Steve tackles one of the biggest frustrations—and potential dangers—of reefing sails offshore at night in rough conditions: managing dozens of loose lines on a movi...
