We continue to work on the boat jobs. We’re trying to get the top deck coated so we can leave it safely without water getting in.
We are both exhausted.
Then, it’s time to head into the marina and empty Nutshell. It takes days to finish as much as we can and finally get her ready to sell.
But, as...

I'm preparing to leave port and follow Japan's cherry blossom front—a journey that goes beyond sailing. At 70, I'm reflecting on a path similar to my bicycle journey 25 years ago when I cycled the length of Japan during Cherry Blossom Season, the result of a dissertation I wrote for m...
The final preparations on the dock are done, and we’ve moved back onto the boat—what an incredible feeling! We’re getting back to boat life. ✨
This week was packed with emotions. After a small surprise, we finally left the dock and got out on the ocean again. It felt amazing to be back where we belo...
We move around the Broadwater and Pimpama River, testing Nutshell’s systems.
The Boat Works chandlery is nearby, which is handy because we need to keep picking up parts for various boat jobs. Magnus continues to work on the toilet, but we won’t mention that.

Magnus finishes a few boat jobs before we leave Hope Island Marina for a short shakedown cruise around the corner to Santa Barbara boat ramp.
There are so many jobs to do. Magnus works on the solar chargers, solar panels, toilet, fuel lines, fenders and more. It’s a busy time.
We start to get to k...
Magnus cleans up a batch of old solar panels. We pick up last-minute supplies and load the car.

In this episode of Sailing Sitka, we sailed to Nicaragua and start exploring this beautiful but tiny country. There isn't many sailing channels covering Nicaragua on Youtube so were happy to announce and share with you this episode containing everything you need to know about this luscious coun...
We are happy to share with you our 360 nm passage from Chiapas, Mexico to Puesta Del Sol, Nicaragua. Finally, after 2 seasons of sailing Mexico, we have checked out and hit the seas to sail south to a new country, but not without dodging some weather while on the way. Thank you for watching and if y...
This is the last episode of season 2!!!! You heard that right. Our last video of season 2 consist of us fixing our rudder leak which has been a consistent nightmare for over 6 months... and finally hauling Sitka out of the water!
Mark your calendars... Season 3 starts Oct 20th!!!!
In this episode of sailing sitka, we sail up to Chiapas Mexico which is the most southern port to either clear in or out from. Here, we will be getting a slip to do some much needed cleaning and maintenance to Sitka before hauling her out for our off season.
Music by Big Sierra:
After a wonderful first season in the Bahamas, questions abound. Do we keep going? Do we quit? Where do we go from here? Today, we at least decide where we are heading. We hope that you'll enjoy our decision.
Much love,
Kirstin & Andy
