Living on the hard is by far the least pleasant part of living on a boat. It’s like doing a mini-remodel of your tini-house, which hopefully is only necessary every 2 years. One also needs to remember that you have to repair/upgrade/or service all the ...
This episode is PACKED with cool stuff - beautiful New Zealand landmarks, fabulous Birthday Party; visiting Cape Reinga, Te Paki Sand Dunes, 90 mile beach, Waitangi Treaty Grounds & Maori museum and of course Tall Ship Rally in Russell. We could easily...

The long overdue adventure thirty seven is brought to you from the bilges of Nahoa! After a year and a half and over 10,000 nautical miles of sailing our beautiful catamaran needed a little, okay maybe a lot of TLC, and a few changes to make life better.

Our time in New Zealand was rapidly drawing to a close. But before we could sail north for another cruising season in the South Pacific, there were a couple of things left on our New Zealand to-do list. Little Dipper (our tender) needed some TLC, there w...

Back to the boat meant back to work and there was a lot to get done in order to prep Starry Horizons for another season of cruising. Our goal was to tackle as many projects by ourselves as we could. So we did big projects like new bottom paint and lots o...
