Ahoy,
come aboard and join us on the slow sail across the sea of cortez. We left our kite and windsurf heaven ZERO BAY behind and had an awesome sail to Puerto Refugio, on the northern tip of Isla Angel de la Guarda.
We had very light wind but the spinnake...
We manage to finish our final fresh provisioning and grab a couple of special beers for the important parts of the passage. We actually leave sight of land and start the epic journey across the South Pacific from Cabo San Lucas to Hiva Oa in French Polynes...
We finally leave La Paz for the last time and make our way towards Cabo San Lucas which is where we will check out of Mexico for good. On the way we take the last opportunity to clean Nutshell’s hull before we embark on the South Pacific Crossing.
Cabo ...
With only a few days to go before we leave La Paz, Magnus builds a temporary gas locker extension out of pine. This will now mean that we can house the taller gas bottles which we have managed to find in Mexico.
Wendy keeps on with the sewing tasks, worki...
There’s so much to do before we head off across the South Pacific to the Marquesas. Bobby takes us to a farmer’s wholesale fresh produce market to pick up some old crates to store our cans for the crossing and we buy bulk produce. Then it’s back to N...
Once in San Carlos, after crossing the Sea of Cortez from Loreto, it was time to prepare SV Blackdragon for the hurricane season. I had to remove all halyards, sails, fresh water-flush everything, etc. I spent some time with friends from SV Passport and SV...
Nutshell has a leak and Magnus tries hard to find it before the boat fills with water!
He makes a start on the new ratlines which we will need for looking out to check for hazards where we are going.
Thanks for watching and following along with our adven...
After cancelling the South-Pacific crossing, I decided to sail North before the hurricane season. I really enjoyed singlehanding the Sea of Cortez way more than I was expecting. On this episode, you'll get to see what sailing Mexico is all about and get to...
We check out a few of the anchorages in the Sea of Cortez. We visit a lovely little place called Honeymoon Cove with its three cute beaches and then head over to Puerto Escondido just in time to shelter from a few days of bad weather which are hitting the ...
With the oven now fixed, Magnus experiments with a new bread making recipe and technique for making bread. It’s very successful!
We see the largest pod of dolphins that we have ever seen. There must have been over 100 in the pod!
We observe the local f...
We head on a quest to find foam for the cockpit cushions. We manage to find conduit which we will use for the conversion of our existing sail bags into stack packs.
Magnus makes a start on pulling out the superfluous stuff from the semi-installed water ma...
After over a year of having no oven, Magnus has yet another go at fixing it. We had written it off and were resigned to the fact that we would have to wait until we could get another one, but his efforts paid off!
To test it out, Magnus made one of his lo...
After over a year of cruising we finally manage to find Mason jars and have a go at pickling and preserving.
Thanks for watching and following along with our adventure.

We cross from Baja to the mainland, being Kat’s first overnight sail. My mom and her partner come aboard for a few days. We meet them in Mazatlan and enjoy the artsy scene there. We also visit Isla Isabela, “the Galapagos of Mexico” for some nature e...
Magnus has a little accident with a fish hook. After much debate about how to get it out and who is going to actually do it, we decide to head back to La Paz to go the hospital to get it removed professionally. There’s always fear of infection with a rus...
We take a quick trip up to LA to renew our visas and catch up with friends. We pick up Wendy’s sister, Helen and she flies to La Paz to spend some time with us on Nutshell cruising the islands just off the coast.

In this episode, we built our own headsail from a Sailrite kit while being in Mexico. This is not really a tutorial, but mostly to give you a small idea of what it entails to tackle a similar project. After spending 9-10 days building the headsail and maki...
Ahoy,
cruising the world and exploring the most beautiful beaches sometimes brings us in contact with dangerous wildlife. So happened to my friend Michael from SV Dreamweaver when he stepped onto or close to a stingray.
I heard about that quite a while ag...
Between the emotions and life lessons, sailing has always felt like a big roller coaster. Some days I am wondering why the hell I’m doing this and other days I can't imagine doing anything else. The contrast between the unglamorous time working on the to...
