We left San Francisco on February 10, 2010 with a plan to head south to Mexico and then make the innocently named "puddle jump" to the South Pacific (!!) this spring. From there, who knows?!?!?!? Maybe Fiji? Australia? New Zealand? For now, we're just thrilled to finally be out at sea! 
Obviously, the most noteworthy thing that’s occurred recently has been the moms’ trip to Moorea, which I will post about next. But, I want to quickly jot down something else, just for posterity. Last night, Matt and I slept outside in the cockpit because Jon has been re-finishing the salon sole down below and the […]

Love, Tahiti style

TRUE LOVE IS….. ** spending an entire day walking around downtown Papeete with your wife, willingly going into every women’s clothing boutique in a FIVE BLOCK radius, waiting patiently while she tries on outfit after outfit after outfit, occasionally bringing her even more clothes to try on, not losing it when she starts to cry […]

Dreaming of a Mini-Break

I remember first hearing the term “mini-break” in the movie Bridget Jones’ Diary – which I totally LOVE btw – and thought it was a quaint, truly british phrase. But, Lord A’Mercy, I am in need of a mini-break from the boat. We have not spent a night off the boat in almost EIGHT MONTHS. […]
A Day in our Life on the Boat

Most of the time, the things I post on here are just about the places where we’ve been and a few things we did there. It gives a very skewed picture of what our life on the boat is like. I mean to say that our life is really NOT that exciting. I’ll admit, though, […]

Full Disclosure – Four Months In

After posting all those photos of these amazing places, is it really fair for me to say that I’m still not convinced this cruising life is all it’s cracked up to be? 🙂 I’m constantly aware that what I post on here, for the most part, really only shows one side of this strange life […]

Mexico Miscellaneous

– As soon as we pulled into the La Cruz Marina last week, we started hearing this weird crackling noise, almost like it was starting to rain. As we lay in bed that night, we realized it was thousands of tiny sea monsters either 1) eating away at stuff growing on our hull and/or 2) […]
