Photographer & world-traveler, new to sailing! Beginning the adventure on La Vagabonde III from Japan > Micronesia. The first sail of many more!
What a fun sail. Days like this make me so grateful Riley steered us toward performance sailing. I love my boat!! 🩵
Left one of the more beautiful anchorages we’ve seen in a while. It was blowing 18 then 16 then 14 on a beam swinging aft made for a sporting morning and a relaxing afternoon. Leaving early and arriving 60nm away shortly after midday is one of the reasons I love this vessel. Morale onboard is just excellent despite the challenges with living aboard on top of kids and some seriously anchoring unfriendly islands. Love my life 🫶🌋🌏
After a miscommunication about a potential meeting with the mayor of the island and sailing our OC tender in the beautiful blue inland lake we decided to head to Saipan basically because we had run out of food. Not the main staples but a bunch of things to make like easier with the kids. When we arrived we forgot to bring our phones and wallets to shore which is always a good indicator that we’re back in “Crusing Mode” again. Lenny spent a lot of time at the helm and it was a very smooth sail.
Cannot wait to get some sleep so we can truly appreciate this natural beauty!!
Another 400NM + down 🩵. Pulling into Maug tomorrow morning.. it’s an island made up of the remnants of a submerged volcanic caldera!! Can’t wait to see it. It’s been a rough few days at sea, very strange weather. Flew the drone in the rough weather and West’s hand copped it when catching it 😭
Had the most amazing time exploring Chichi-jima this past week! Whales, ocean rays, epic sunsets & gorgeous nature, the kindest locals we’ve ever met, and even some funky cafes & great coffee. What a special place. 🫶🏼
This place is unreal.. whales, massive wahoo, and breathtaking landscapes everywhere we turn 🥲
Arrived to Chichi-jima & welcomed by 🐋🏝️ Population: 2000. Such a peaceful place, the nicest people, crystal clear water, and even found a cafe with oat milk lattes 👌🏼
Sun’s shining, seas are calm, it’s getting warmer & spirits are high on La Vagabonde today! ☀️
Lost power & internet for most of the day… and rough seas so we’ve all been sleeping most of the day. (These pics are from yesterday. 😅) Getting warmer though!
La Vagabonde and her crew just nailed our first big passage of the season.. couldn’t be happier! Off to hunt down some sake in this picture perfect little town to celebrate 💃🍶🥳 max speed was 20.4 knots btw!
Finally on board La Vagabonde! It’s so cold is Osaka but we’re all stoked to start this adventure together 🤙🏼
