It’s very nice not to be filming for a while. We’re actually in front with movies for the first time in years. We’ve had one of my favourite adventures of all time with the best crew and now having a bit of downtime in Palau.

Wild squalls on our final day.. ⛈️ What an unforgettable 5 day dive adventure in Palau aboard the Black Pearl! Grateful for the memories.. and for being back in my own bed rn.

We’re about to see other humans for the first time in 21 days! Hello Palau!

Very squally but loving the change in weather.. feeling all the hygge vibes ✨

We were en route to Palau, but some engine issues have led us to seek shelter in the calm of an atoll. Not exactly part of the plan but we’re definitely not complaining 🏝️

We actually were pumping this trip and Elayna got us going over 20knots at one point. Very fun and exciting sail with a quick stop in Rota which was unbelievable!!! What a magical place.

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 😭

This place is unreal.. whales, massive wahoo, and breathtaking landscapes everywhere we turn 🥲

Day 2 of our passage to the southern islands of Japan! So far so good. We’re all really tired today but spirits are still high. The water is starting to get deeeeep 🤯

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!

We’ve never seen so many people on our crew list lol go checkout our new crew members on my profile 🥹🩵 we feel so lucky to get to spend the next few months with them!

Four seasons in one day.. gusty and squally, but spirits were high! One last stop in Osaka before we sail away from the mainland and into the open sea 🌊

First sail of the season.. here we go! 🥲 We’re setting off to pick up our four new crew members before heading further offshore toward Micronesia. It’s been a smooth start, though we’ve been beating upwind all day but we’re NOT COMPLAINING lol so happy to be here ✌️✌️

Who’s new here today from our latest hour long YouTube video? Welcome aboard! We’re reading your comments from our beautiful mountain top apartment.. it feels surreal being here 😍 going to give snowboarding another crack. So yeah we’ve made another quick escape from the boatyard as they prep to paint our fairing. And with just two weeks until we set sail, the countdown is officially on!

A couple weeks from setting sail you guys! And we have enough freeze dried food to last us an entire year 😅
