In this episode, we share the very exciting news that we bought a van! It is a Mitsubishi Delica that we have been converting into a very simple campervan/adventure-machine. The summer work season has ended and we are back together again, travelling home to the sailboat.
Our dream with this van is that it will carry us across Canada this fall. We have always wanted to drive across this big country and we think this will be the perfect vehicle to do it!
If you are here for the sailboat, don’t worry: the boat isn’t going anywhere. Our road trip will take us a month or so and then we will be back to living full time on the boat.

If you are new to the channel, Blue Moon is a 1978 Catalina 30 sailing vessel which we acquired last year. We live aboard the boat full-time and hope to sail and explore the Pacific Northwest.
Thanks for watching!
