Using their sailboat as a homebase, a young couple is on their way from French Poylnesia to New Zealand and beyond. Interesting story of how they met, how they live, and how they travel!

    It didn’t take long to get reacquainted with life on land after having been away from it for a while. Well, I take that back…reacquainted to life on land where you can get anything you need, anytime, anywhere. Life in New Zealand is life...

  • Arrival in Opua, NZ

    Posted on Monday November 9th, 2009 at 20:13 in sailing, new zealand, popular, tonga, passages

    After nine days at sea we are finally sitting still again. It feels very, very nice. I have officially completed my first 1000+ mile passage. We arrived at the customs dock around 7:30 this morning. I cooked up the last pound of bacon we had on board...

  • Passage to NZ, Day 9

    Posted on Monday November 9th, 2009 at 00:28 in sailing, new zealand, General, tonga, passages

  • Passage to New Zealand – Day 6

    Posted on Friday November 6th, 2009 at 02:13 in General

    For about 15 minutes earlier today I actually thought we would be able to turn off the motor and sail. Nope, my hopes were dashed when the wind picked up to 15, shifted right on the nose, and then promptly died to less than 5. So we’re still mo...
