We Came for Paradise We Found Something Better
We crossed an ocean chasing paradise. What we found was something even more valuable. For months, our family had been working toward this moment.

Wahine Is Sailing to Mexico… Without Me
Sailors have an old saying: "The two happiest days in a sailor's life are the day he buys a boat and the day he sells it." Having recently passed Wahine on to my close friend Mitsu Kume, I now understand why. In fact, I'm doubly happy. Not simply because I'm relieved of ...

Life After Landfall | Exploring the Marquesas Following Our Pacific Crossing
After crossing more than 3,000 miles of Pacific Ocean, we finally had a chance to slow down and enjoy life in the Marquesas Islands. But life after landfall isn't just tropical anchorages and waterfalls. There were still boat projects to finish, new places to explore, and old friends to reunite...
Crossing the Pacific Changed Our Family

This sailing technique saved my butt (Why does nobody teach this?)
1,800 miles from the nearest road, my autopilot exploded into pieces on my lap. Three and a half days into an 18-day crossing from Ecuador to Easter Island, on a light catamaran with small rudders and no displacement, the wheel pilot's ring snapped, the belt cut itself in four places, and the b...
