We’re ready to cross the Pacific… but we can’t leave. Right now we’re stuck in Panama, anchored in a relentless rolly anchorage, waiting on one thing: the kids’ visas. It’s the final hurdle keeping us from pointing the bow west—and every day we sit here, the pressure builds. But we’re not wasting t...
48 Hours Before We Enter the Panama Canal
In 48 hours, we enter the Panama Canal. But right now… it still feels like just another work week. Before a major milestone like a Panama Canal transit, life doesn’t look dramatic.

Our Dinghy SANK?! Sailing to Martinique

We Left in the Wrong Weather… Then Ripped Our Sail!
What started as a simple passage from Saint Kitts to Guadeloupe quickly turned into one of our more stressful sails.
