The tools and knowledge we hope to never use.

An amazing paradox, when you really think about it. We are spending money and time, on something we hope to never use. Do we want to take the head off and replace the piston, not in my book? But on the flip side Murphy (‘s law) will come and bite us, if we don’t know, [...]

First Aid Kit…. done!

As it was brought to our attention that we were short in the  “take care of yourself” department a few weeks ago! Thank you *C* *R* and *Dc. J* we decided that a proper first aid kits was of necessity.

It is true, that we are in a higher risk bracket [...]

I call it the boat show syndrome…….

WOW ! We just did two boat shows in less than a month… so much to learn and so much to prepare. You get over exposed, your senses get filled with so much commotion, that you don’t know what to think! It can be overwhelming at time, but with discipline, we can avoid expensive mistakes. [...]

What makes a successful boat dealer!

Today the weather is nice, the new lagoon 400 is in the neighborhood,  and available for us to visit! We are feeling excited to see the new designs and may be new ideas? However it was only a case of disappointment! Not in the boat itself rather in the way it’s been taken care of, [...]

Appendicitis on a sailboat, reflection of the day.

As a kid I always heard the story of the sailor that got his appendicitis removed before going at sea for long time. Last night we listen to a chilling reminder that you have three days if it ruptures, before your life is cut short. *V*’s youngest brother is a fine reminder of that one! [...]

From slippers to barefoot… or from barefoot to slippers!?

Don’t worry I didn’t say barefoot and pregnant, please do not read between the lines!

Allow me to explain : For as long as I can remember, we have always adamantly refused to wear and purchase a pair of slippers even during cold winter months! To us, it was a sign of different generation [...]

This one is dedicated to my sister *S* who doesn’t believe in the concept off our offshore trip!

It had been such a long time since I had last spoken to my sister, so I was  excited to finally align our time zone for a quick chat online, and share with her our daily life. Although once we parted I realized that she was really having a hard time to understand the concept [...]

New Year resolution, let’s try to see if we could do better.

Last year was not a success on that front, remember the post where we say we will not buy a boat until more money are saved, and we were hesitated between mono or multi, we were going to charter! etc..Ooops!

Well we did get a boat, and not a monohull as you all know by [...]

How many Amp/Hour do you need to enjoy a raclette? Well that’s easy get 10 Cruisers around a table

Training training! or part of our preparation? or just simply finding an excuse to have our sailing friends over?Which brings us to the next question : What “sacrifice” are we ready to take to stay on top of our game?

Yesterday we were really lucky to be surrounded by our friends with same frame [...]
