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.

North Pacific Sailing 🌊 Sailing into Guam, in the Mariana islands! Got a week of boat maintenance coming up aboard La Vagabonde. Then a big provision before we head into Micronesia and the Solomon islands for the next few months.

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 🥲

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!

A week spent at the reef and then now onto the Whitsundays for some hiking, diving and more relaxing!

First week of this years cruising, loaded with good winds, fresh gnocchi and some creatures of the sea(crayfish too).

Delivering a 30ft Yamaha called Humming Bird from Cairns down to Townsville! Day one was a long one. She’s a slow girl under motor!

Glaaaaaaass out for days has been all the might oceans have thrown at us!! We have a count of two specimens onboard for our pest eradication program with more long antlered boys to go!
