60 – Sailing S/V Julia: Part 3 – We Got Stuck in the Pacific Garbage Patch!
Our second passage across the Pacific Ocean finally begins! San Francisco Bay gifted us a lovely fog to get started and off we went back out under the Golden Gate Bridge. The first few days at sea were a bit rough as we sailed upwind to avoid some nasty weather to the south of us. When we were fi...
59 – Julia Delivery Part 2: Exploring San Francisco
After prepping s/v Julia for the crossing to Hawaii, we got one day to explore San Francisco. And explore we did! Amy set up an itinerary that included riding ferries, cable cars and trolley cars, and took us to Coit Tower, Pier 39, Chinatown for Dim Sum and then to Castro. You can sure manage to...
58 – Sailing S/V Julia Across the Pacific: Part 1
Apparently, we liked sailing crossing the Pacific Ocean so much, we just had to do it again! This time we hopped on board s/v Julia, a Helia Evolution, to help her owners Tom and Susan learn all about offshore sailing. After tucking Starry Horizons in safe and sound in Tonga, we set off on an epic...
57 – Mainsail Rips Are No Fun
It's always the last day of a passage when things go wrong! We set sail from New Zealand to head back up to Tonga for another South Pacific cruising season. The passage was a bit of a tricky one with strong winds, then light winds and then shifting strong winds. We managed to take it all in...
56 – Our Last Adventures in New Zealand!
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 were more hikes to do and we were finally abl...
55 – Cruising the Bay of Islands with 3 Lovely Ladies
It's always awesome whenever we have guests come visit. And when those guests happen to be two lovely ladies, it's doubly awesome! Our friends Liz and Breena were on a New Zealand tour and joined us for an incredible week in the Bay of Islands. The first stop was Motuarohia Island, wher...
Out Chasing Stars – Sailing Around The World
What’s this?! An Out Chasing Stars channel trailer?? Well, we figured after almost three years of making videos, it was about time! Meet Amy and David. We’re a couple of modern day adventurers who sold everything, bought a boat and are sailing around the world. Since Starry Horizons, our Helia ...
54 – Ahh… The Boat Yard Life
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 of smaller ones like replacing an outboard pr...
53 – In the Land of Hobbits (NZ Road Trip #6)
This is it. The final part of our New Zealand road trip. Fortunately, we end things with a bang, visiting the Weta Workshop in Wellington and then continuing up north to have a romantic Valentine's Day dinner (Amy's choice!) with all our hobbit friends at Hobbiton. Visiting Hobbiton was...
52 – Of Course We Stopped in Wine Country! (NZ Road Trip #5)
The weather was getting a bit too cold for our liking, so rather than continuing south, we cut over to the east side of the South Island. First stop was in Christchurch where we got to see an awesome museum exhibit on the 75 year history of Air New Zealand, complete with a virtual reality look at t...
51 – The West Side of the South Island (NZ Road Trip #4)
Our New Zealand road trip continues as we take the ferry down to the South Island and explore along the north and west coasts. We do a bit of beginner level fishing (hoping our fishing mojo increases!), see some delicious looking pancake rocks, hike in the beautiful NZ countryside and even get out ...
50 – That Ball Sure Does Look Funny (NZ Road Trip #3)
Rugby... A sport most Americans have heard of but know almost nothing about. We figured being in New Zealand would be the perfect time to fill in this major gap in our sporting knowledge. First up was a stop at the New Zealand Rugby Museum in Palmerston North. It was a bit light on the rules of ...
49 – In Search of the ONE Ring: Hiking Tongariro (NZ Road Trip #2)
As you may have heard, they did a lot of filming for Lord of the Rings in New Zealand, and one of the most iconic locations was Mt. Doom. So of course we had to go see it. To get there, you have to hike what is known as the Tongariro Alpine Crossing. It's 19.4km of ups, downs, loose rocks, l...
48 – NZ Road Trip Part 1: Waterfalls and Glow Worms
With Starry Horizons safe and sound on the hard, we traveled back to the US for the holidays, visiting friends and family. We even ran into a few celebrities! ;) Once we returned to New Zealand, we decided that it was time to explore a country by land. We bought a car in Auckland and after check...
47 – Heading to Whangarei for a Haul Out
After arriving in New Zealand, we spent a few days working on projects before setting out for Whangarei. We had a bit of time before our scheduled haul out so we elected to make a few stops along the way. The best of which was in Tutukaka harbour where we were entertained by some outrigger racing ...
46 – Sailing to New Zealand: Our Roughest Passage Yet
The time had finally come to leave Fiji and set sail down to New Zealand. This passage is notorious for being rough and it certainly didn't disappoint. For the first three days we bashed through big seas and strong winds which took a toll on both boat and crew. It wasn't all bad though ...
45 – Rogue Goats and Leaving Fiji
Now that we were sans guests, we had a little bit more exploring of Fiji to do. We found the beautiful Navadra island, complete with the only inhabitants: rogue goats. We were completely mystified as to how they ended up there, and the goats themselves weren't in a mood to answer our question...
44 – David’s Brother Joins Us in the Yasawas
We always love it when friends and family come to visit, and Fiji was a (relatively) easy spot for them to get to. This episode is when David's brother Thomas came for a stay aboard! The Yasawa Group of Fiji was beckoning and we were glad to answer the call. We all had a blast exploring Malo...
42 – That Time We Climbed the Highest Peak in Fiji
Our friend Kyle flew out from the US to come visit, and he came with quite an itinerary. The first part of his trip saw us exploring the largest island of Fiji: Viti Levu. We visited museums, learned the proper “Fijian Style” technique for diving off a rope swig and ran all over the Sigatoka Sand ...
41 – We Made it Halfway Around the World!
On the morning of October 9th, 2016 as we sailed within Fiji, we crossed over 178° 50.275E. That officially marked our arrival halfway around the world from La Rochelle, France! We were pretty proud of that accomplishment and still can't believe how lucky we are to be out on this crazy advent...
40 – Marlin Tag and Release Program
On our passage from Tonga to Fiji we hooked a lot of marlin. Notice I didn't say we CAUGHT a lot of marlin. Over 3 days, we had 5 hook ups and lost all of them, along with 3 lures. Professional deep sea fishermen we are not. Watch, learn from our mistakes and perhaps offer a bit of advice! ...
39 – OMG Those Are Humpback Whales!
In Tonga, we got to experience one of the most amazing things we've ever done in our lives: swim with humpback whales. We'd organized a tour with a local dive company (it's illegal to swim with them on your own) and got incredibly lucky as we found a mother, her calf and an accompany...
38 – Hiking with Mischievous Spirits in Vava’u
After enjoying a great beach bonfire with other cruisers in Port Maurelle, Tonga, it was time to go explore more of the Vava'u group. We started out with a bit of on the water exploration via kayak and an amazing snorkel. But what really impressed us was the hiking. We did two main hikes. O...
