At sunrise we noticed a break in the wind, so we unfurled our jib and lowered it . Matt also takes a look at the other canvas and vinyl projects to be done. Soon we will be taking on these projects with our brand new industrial sewing machine by Sailrite.
Almost three years ago we bought a Sailrite LSZ-1 Ultrafeed Walking Foot sewing machine. We felt that we needed a machine for safety in case we had to sew sails in remote locations and especially as we were planning a Pacific Ocean crossing.
We did resea...
Our first look at the cushions inside the boat! We are half way through making all the cushions. I love the striped fabric for the dinette and the light color fabric we chose for the quarter bunks. Having two different fabrics kind of helps separate the bo...
We have so many to thank for helping us with materials for this project! It took, of course, longer than I thought to get the hang of it but mostly that was just finding the right head space. Not being too overcritical and being okay with it not being perf...
Our Catamaran Clarity has been our home for the last five years. We've made plenty of improvements to her rigging, electrical system, electronics, upholstery, etc, etc, etc. Most of these projects cost in the thousands of dollars, if not tens of thousands ...

As I mentioned in a previous episode I have had to postpone my solo crossing of the North Pacific for one year because the boat and I are not ready. I was looking into the option of sailing across with a Crew and spend the next year training on the West Co...
I had no idea when I bought a sailboat I would have to contend with so many rules and regulations. I believed I could just sail off into the sunset. But no. So this has been an education of how to navigate the Marine rules of Japan.

I was all ready to go for a multiple night training at sea and was faced with a dilemma Only ten days left on the offshore training permit so I felt pressure but given the absence of a working autohelm and that I am not allowed to use the AIS Transponder,...
With road trips, brewery visits and beer tasting over for a while, we get back to all things boaty.
We fix the mizzen sail and make a new cover for the hatch, all thanks to Greg for the donation of the sail.
We have a good friend on board, Simone. We hea...

Yes, that day threw a lot at me. 27 hours non-stop.
