50 – That Ball Sure Does Look Funny (NZ Road Trip #3)

47 – Heading to Whangarei for a Haul Out

46 – Sailing to New Zealand: Our Roughest Passage Yet
The time had finally come to leave Fiji and set sail down to New Zealand. This passage is notorious for being rough and it certainly didn't disappoint. For the first three days we bashed through big seas and strong winds which took a toll on both boat an...
45 – Rogue Goats and Leaving Fiji
Now that we were sans guests, we had a little bit more exploring of Fiji to do. We found the beautiful Navadra island, complete with the only inhabitants: rogue goats. We were completely mystified as to how they ended up there, and the goats themselves w...
44 – David’s Brother Joins Us in the Yasawas
We always love it when friends and family come to visit, and Fiji was a (relatively) easy spot for them to get to. This episode is when David's brother Thomas came for a stay aboard! The Yasawa Group of Fiji was beckoning and we were glad to answer the c...
43 – Sailing Down to Fiji’s Astrolabe Reef
With our friend Kyle still aboard, we set sail down to an area of Fiji known as the Astrolab Reef. It wasn't a long sail, but Kyle proved to be just the good luck charm we needed to end our fishing drought as he reeled in a delicious mahi-mahi. The Astro...
42 – That Time We Climbed the Highest Peak in Fiji
Our friend Kyle flew out from the US to come visit, and he came with quite an itinerary. The first part of his trip saw us exploring the largest island of Fiji: Viti Levu. We visited museums, learned the proper “Fijian Style” technique for diving off...

40 – Marlin Tag and Release Program
On our passage from Tonga to Fiji we hooked a lot of marlin. Notice I didn't say we CAUGHT a lot of marlin. Over 3 days, we had 5 hook ups and lost all of them, along with 3 lures. Professional deep sea fishermen we are not. Watch, learn from our mistak...
39 – OMG Those Are Humpback Whales!
In Tonga, we got to experience one of the most amazing things we've ever done in our lives: swim with humpback whales. We'd organized a tour with a local dive company (it's illegal to swim with them on your own) and got incredibly lucky as we found a moth...

37 – How Many Cruisers Does it Take to Light a Bonfire?

36 – We Became Whale Researchers! (for a day)

35 – Driving the Rock of Polynesia
Niue, nicknamed the Rock of Polynesia, was one of our favorite destinations. After arriving, we set out on a FULL day's drive completely around the island. I had to remember to drive on the wrong (aka the left) side of the road, but we managed to make it...
34 – Getting Stung by a Jellyfish SUCKS
After our our 6ish day passage from French Polynesia, we found ourselves in the magical place known as Beveridge Reef. Well, being anchored in the middle of the Pacific all by ourselves was magical. Getting stung by a Man o' War jellyfish? That SUCKS! ...
32 – Under The Water in Bora Bora
