We were almost ready to leave Tahiti when our friends on SV Palarran pulled into the anchorage—and suddenly, we had a very good reason to stay.
Cruising friendships are unpredictable. You never really know when your paths will cross again, so when the kids’ friends showed up, we changed our plans a...
After waiting out 30-knot winds in Cook’s Bay, Moorea, we finally get the weather window we need to make the short trip to Tahiti — where we’re hoping to finally get some answers about an electrical problem that has been following us for months.
But first, there’s fishing line wrapped around our an...
We thought sailing around the world would be all about the destinations.
The turquoise lagoons.
The remote islands.
The adventure.
But somewhere along the way, we realized the places weren't what changed us the most.
It was the people.
In this episode, we spend our final days in beautiful T...
Most boats never make it to Mai'O. You can't just sail in... the island decides who comes ashore.
Years ago, my girlfriend and I were anchored in Moorea when we met a man whose friend was from Mai'O. He asked if we could bring his friend home. We said yes — and what happened next was...
This week our family is sailing from New Zealand to Fiji. This passage is known to be a difficult one and it's living up to its reputation. We are hoping we can make it to Fiji without too many things breaking. AND without the kids losing their dinner.
Thank you for watching and subscribi...
We travel to French Polynesia to sail with our friends John and Shannon on Carisma. They left the marina two years ago and just crossed from Panama to the Marqueses.
This episode we fly to Tahiti and resupply before flying off to Hiva Oa. After meeting up with John and Shannon we sail to Tahuata.
This week our family is sailing in the bay of islands of New Zealand. There is everything we could ever need here, including so many boat friends! Our dinghy has a major leak and it is in need of replacing. We won't get very far without that important piece of equipment!
Thank you for watc...
This week our family is sailing from Tonga to New Zealand. This passage is known to be a difficult one and it's living up to its reputation. We are starting out the passage worrying about boat damage from the whale collision and we are low on food AND fuel. The weather isn't doing us an...
The week our family is in the Ha'apai island group of Tonga. It was all smooth sailing with friends until the weather forecast changed. Everyone left and we decided to stay behind and ride out the storm. It left us questioning our sanity and if we were making the right decision. Hopefully w...
The week our family is moving to the Ha'apai island group of Tonga. It was all smooth sailing until Machete collided with a whale.

The week our family is exploring Tonga! We sail to Tonga and catch a tuna on the way. We raft up to another boat at the customs dock and wait to officially check into Tonga. Jack finds the Tonga flag and marks this country on our map! We hop around the different anchorages of Tonga with 5 or 6 ot...
The week our family is exploring and LOVING Niue! We see it all - caves, chasms, and cliffs! And quite a few whale sightings, more than we have seen anywhere else. We also get to swim in some of the clearest water in the world! It's so beautiful! Daniel and the boys also swim in the creepi...
Our family of six lives on a sailboat and this week it's time for us to leave French Polynesia because our visas are running out. We do a final hike up to the World War II cannons and check out of Bora Bora. We raise the sails and start our 1000 nm journey across the Pacific Ocean. We skip ov...
This week we are in vacation mode making our way through the Society Islands of French Polynesia. Daniel's parents are staying on board and we are truly living our best life. We island hop from Moorea all the way to Bora Bora before Daniel's parents have to head back home. After they lea...
We are in beautiful Tahiti prepping for Daniel's parents coming to visit. We move to the airport anchorage and visit Papeete. We find a thimble for Jessa's collection, boat parts, provisions and see the closing parade for the Olympics. We finally get the toilet back working just in time...
Our adventure in French Polynesia takes an unexpected turn when we discover severe damage to our sail drive shaft during what we thought would be a quick and simple seal change. 😩 It took two trips to the USA and thousands of dollars to get the parts we needed and make the repair— a consequence of s...

We install LED lighting on our brand new Highfield dinghy. We permanently wire port and starboard lights on the bow as well as a white stern light on our outboard. But Iain has an extra surprise in store when he adds some of the coolest lights we’ve ever seen in an inflatable boat!

These are the must have modifications for every brand new inflatable boat! We just upgraded our dinghy from an Italian made AB to a Highfield 360. But even though it's performing really well so far, there's no reason why we can't make it even better.
We've got a bunch of project...
