Swapping From AGM to Lithium Batteries on a Sailboat
After 3 years of sailing on Starry Horizons, the time had come to replace our old AGM battery bank with something new. We were ready for Lithium. Doing the swap over required almost a complete re-work of our 12v electrical system in order to do things pr...
80 – Sailing New Caledonia’s Southern Lagoon
Our friend Kyle visits for round 2 in the South Pacific, this time to go sailing in New Caledonia's Southern Lagoon. We'd made our way back to the main city of Noumea in order to pick him up and once he arrived, we immediately set sail out to the Amedee L...
79 – Cheese, Baguettes and Mexican Food??? Sailing New Caledonia
When you think of New Caledonia and other French territories, your mind immediately goes to cheese, baguettes, wine, pate and all the other French delicacies. So imagine our surprise to find a grocery store full of Mexican food! After redeeming ourselves...
78 – Kava and Lava in Vanuatu
After a rough passage from Fiji, we were looking forward to exploring a new country. We only ended up staying for 5 days, but Port Resolution in Vanuatu definitely didn't disappoint. The big reason for visiting was the chance to hike Mt. Yasur. Oh, and ...
77 – A Fountaine Pajot Regatta to Vanuatu
The time had come to depart Fiji and this time we had a bit of company. Two other Fountaine Pajot catamarans joined us for the passage over to Port Resolution, Vanuatu. But before we could clear out of Fiji, we had to celebrate the Admiral's birthday! O...

Amy's family came to visit us in Fiji! Her mom, Lisa; step-dad, Bob; and uncle Phil joined us for a week of sailing around the Yasawa Group as part of Bob's 60th birthday celebration. We had an absolute blast with them, though I think we've been gone so ...
75 – Sailing Across Fiji… With Hitchhikers!
Amy's family was coming to visit soon, which meant we had to say goodbye to the Lau Group and set sail across Fiji. Usually Amy and I do our passages with just the two of us, but this time, we had some hitchhikers! Alifereti and Koroi, two villagers from...
74 – Our Fijian Cultural Immersion In Fulanga
For us, when we think of Fijian culture, we always go back to our time in Fulanga. Fulanga is one of the most remote inhabited islands we've ever been to. There's no airport. There's no cruise ships. The only tourists come via sailboat. And it is abso...
73 – A Two Day Sail to Fiji’s Fulanga
Fulanga here we come! We're sailing through the incredibly remote Lau Group in Fiji and it's about a 140nm sail from Vanua Balavu down to Fulanga at the southern end. We could do that in an overnight sail, but instead we broke things up with a 70nm sail ...
All Your Sailing Questions Answered
You asked, we answered! And man were there a lot of questions! We got questions ranging from finances (not a surprise), to relationships and even what size shoe we'd wear on the moon. We did our best to answer them all, so hopefully there's something in...
Let’s do a Q&A Video!
You've got questions, we've got answers (or at least some amusing ramblings). Want to know Amy's favorite color (it's blue just FYI), why we chose to sail around the world, or more details about something on Starry Horizons? Ask away! While we're out ...
72 – Sailing Vanua Balavu’s Inner Lagoon
We weren't quite done yet sailing around Vanua Balavu's Inner Lagoon. After the Oyster Rally cleared out, we sailed over to a beautiful spot called Bavatu Harbour. We had it all to ourselves and found a nice hike up to a stunning lookout back over the Ba...
71 – Fiji’s Bay of Islands: The Most Beautiful Place on Earth
Okay, perhaps that's a bit of hyperbole, but Fiji's Bay of Islands in Vanua Balavu is my pick for the most beautiful place I've ever seen. We had our own private anchorages, were surrounded by unique mushroom rocks, swam in stunningly blue water and even ...
66 – Nature is Freaking Lit
Our Tongan Haapai Group adventure continues as we sail to two new islands: Uoleva and Tatafa. We get to do a bit of racing, a bit of fishing and a bit of exploring. Pretty much everything you want to do in the South Pacific! Along the way we learn up cl...
65 – Sailing to Ha’apai: A Humpback Heat Run
The time had come to explore a new part of Tonga: the Ha'apai Group. It's about a 60 mile sail to get there and along the way we got to encounter those magnificiant reason we came back to Tonga: humpback whales! We got to experience several 'heat runs' w...
64 – Adventure on Kenutu Island
With Starry Horizons back on the mend, we set out to explore a place of the Vava'u Group of Tonga we had never been before: Kenutu Island. This is one of those absolutely picturesque South Pacific Islands. It's surrounded by a reef, uninhabited with a go...
63 – Tongan Boat Yard Blues
After a long awaited return to Starry Horizons in Tonga, we immediately started re-commissioning her and discovered a serious problem. The anodes on our saildrives had completely disappeared and the saildrives had started corroding! This was something th...

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 stron...

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 w...

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 o...
