It’s our second winter as boat owners and we can feel some light bulbs coming on. Our first storm season, we were oblivious to the dangers around us and lived in perfect happiness in a blinding world! Indeed it pretty much summarizes what we went through and survived without any major lessons/mistakes learnt. Albeit a [...] Once in a while you stumble across a blog that makes total cruiser sense. It teaches you a thing or two and goes a little deeper than: “it’s sunny, we are having fun but the wind was on the nose”. Today was such a day when I discovered this French website Logos. No commercial [...] 40 knots average 47.7 knots gust, we can say it’s windy in the marina! We had been prepared for a storm coming from the North albeit not from the south. And that what we have been getting today, the boat is not docked the right way, so let us be hopeful that our solar [...] In the recent weeks, we had a few examples of professional sailors who were not on their top behaviour and for that matter didn’t show the best example to the kids! Like Francoise Arthaud falling off her boat while answering a call, to top it all up she was not wearing a life jacket and [...] Often you ask yourself, is my knowledge correct? Is this really the way to do it? What are the exact numbers? And usually you don’t have a source to find the exact result.

Now don’t think that I am stalking them, I just mean following their [...] Since we landed back home and are slowly (ever so slowly) getting back to reality *V and I* have both realized how lucky we have been to be part of such a trip. As *R* was mentioning while underway, not many people get to experience this before their own take off, it was an awesome [...] We spent our last night on board Letitgo, and made it to *K&C*’s boat the next morning, refreshed and ready to “rock”! Food and personal belongings were loaded, the freezer was full in no time and all *K&C*’s family and close friends were at the dock. Of course, many pictures were taken and soon enough [...] Just realized this morning that we our site was hacked, indeed some people have different goals in life. Our blog is sooo important… We’ve been really relaxed during our last few days of the trip, and we didn’t write anything but please bare with us there is still lots to tell! On our return [...] For the last two Sundays, we had on board two sets of friends and they certainly did not get the same experience! Mother Nature wanted to remind us that we cannot control “Her”, there are many things we can control in our lives but neither money nor power can take over the weather. A [...] |
