Join along in this ride of highs and lows as we sail to Cuba. The Gulf shows its ugly teeth and the weathers proves unpredictable. A storm runs us off course and we are stuck sailing against the current and wind. The trip quickly turns into an endurance ma...

We go hunting for a mythical white rum before we start to think about preparations for a long trip towards Indonesia. There's ripp...
So you may remember from a couple of weeks ago that we finally managed to remove the stubborn old sea cock from the top of our volvo sail drive leg.
Well this week we replace it.

We've been talking about it for a while, but now we are excited to announce that we have finally made a concrete decision (well, as concrete as you can be on a non-ferrocement sailboat) and we're off to Indonesia! The plan is to start with a circumnavigati...
The anchor is up and Paragon is underway. With the wind in our sails the journey is off to a good start...now if only we had a better view. Leave it to Drake to take matters into his own hands.

Lunenburg has been great fun but, when a weather window presents itself, the decision is made to push off for Newfoundland. We scramble to get Paragon sorted for a longer voyage yet also find time for a bit of practice filming with Harry. We won't let a bi...
So after the struggles of last week, this week we actually manage to get things done. We finish off the wiring for the new lighting, finally remove that stubborn engine sea cock and begin the process of cutting out the boards for the new headlining.

Our diesel engine has lost torque! Could the problem be a slipping fan belt, loose morse cable, a bag round the prop, or something worse? We're still in beautiful but desolate Ko Chang, Thailand. If there's something wrong, it's really not the best place t...
While Drake stays aboard to finish preparations for pushing off, Eanna and Mo head to shore. They split up and Eanna checks out the sweeter side of Lunenburg at the Ironworks Distillery...including Phoebe, the cutest greeter ever! Then we pour over the wea...

Unfortunately for one reason or another we couldn't finish half the things that we wanted to start, so settled on installing the new lighting.... well ...
Living together in close quarters is part of the reality of this adventure, and open communication helps to keep it smooth sailing for everyone. Drake and Éanna take some time (over beers!) to check in with one another and discuss what lies ahead. They al...
