Tell your Humans to pack the cooler, and let’s go. We will need our waterproof harness and collar for this excursion. We don’t care what you pack in the cooler so long as there is room for my water. Where are we going, you ask? To a sandbar! Why a sandbar? You love the beach, […]

Now, this is a topic to divide us. Or can we openly discuss what we see ourselves doing and reality? The reality is that crimes against cruisers exist, so there is some room for discussion. The other reality is that what we think our response is and what it is are two different outcomes. I […]

For us, it’s the only way to sail, but it takes extra work on your part, aside from the additional paperwork and cost. So, how do you manage life onboard? Izzy (Jack Russell Terrier) has lived aboard with us for four 1/2 years since she was 6 months old. Izzy is only 9lbs, so she […]

There are hacks to packing on every blog out there. My hack is…don’t pack it. Let’s face it: you probably only go for a week or two. Can’t you live without it for that long? I should think so. I know you need to be IG-worthy, but chances are the people seeing the pics are […]

This will not be the most effortless pet import you will do, but once it’s complete, you can’t imagine the beaches they can run on. I should also mention the amount of hiking that can be done, either with high or low-energy pups.   The chart pictured above can be found on www.noonsite.com for print. This […]

 A month of Sundays sailing across the Pacific Ocean in search of French Polynesia. Why, you ask? The simple answer is that we can. The better question is, why would you? That answer is not so simple.  A challenge is what we like. Love sailing. Love the ocean. Love islands. Love the beach and love […]

At the airport in Maun, Botswana, ready to start the journey home. I am holding the scull of a water buffalo wrapped in a towel. I’m pretty sure they aren’t going to let me have it, so I am walking right up to security with it. Ford hasn’t said much.  I put the scull on […]

We are anchored off a small island in the Las Perlas Islands, Panama. The only life around above the water line is us. Off to the unspoiled beach, we go for a trek and swim. While splashing around to cool down, a launcha (small wooden boat with an outboard engine) motors on by with three […]

Somewhere off the coast of Panama is an archipelago of 365 small, primarily uninhabited islands. With thunderous rainforest mountains on the mainland. The water is so clear that you can see the change in color where the reefs are. I am sitting in Guna Yala (San Blas), Panama. There are many beautiful beaches worldwide, but […]

We are on the high seas! The seas change and come at us from many different directions. The most comfortable for our boat is right on our butt, surfing us down them. Mother Nature rarely cooperates for any state of comfort. Take the seasickness meds and have a very healthy respect for her.  We are […]
