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!

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 ✌️✌️

Kai is often quite funny. Niche humour.
