For the past six years, we've been living aboard full-time, cruising the world (very slowly). We began our journey in the Pacific Northwest, exploring Alaska & the West Coast of Canada, then made our way down to the U.S., Mexico, El Salvador, and Costa Rica, before transiting the Panama Canal. Now, we're on a Caribbean loop with three salty pets and an even saltier captain, navigating the highs and lows of life at sea. Soon, we'll set sail across the Pacific for the Philippines to begin an exciting new chapter aboard our new soon-to-be home, Jubel 2.0, an HH44.
4 day passage from Maupiti, french polynesia, to Aitutaki in the cook islands. The pass here is the sketchiest we have ever done. And we had to med moor in 25 knots of wind from astern. It took 3 dinghies pushing us, we got stuck in the mud in the harbour, and have our lines tied to coral boulders.
Finally on the move again. Working our way up to Raiatea for a few days and then we will carry on to Bora Bora. Caught an absolute monster of a Wahoo!
Short day trips around moorea from tahiti
550 mile (small) passage to tahanea in the tuamotus! So excited to get here!
Crossing the Pacific from Panama city to nuku hiva, marquesas! 35 days, 4685 NM. Biggest passage ever, check! ✅ We were originally going to take the southern route, but the forecast was better for the northern route (at the time). In hindsight, the northern route was much rougher than we expected it to be!
Crossing the Panama canal with my dad as crew. We did the first locks on the 18th, and then stopped for the night in Gatun lake before continuing through the lake down the pacific side locks on the 19th.
Back in our favourite place on earth! Another rough passage. The wind and sea state around here just does not let up. 2M seas at 7 seconds, on the nose. Took gallons and gallons of water over the bow. Motored the whole way. But, we're here! We get to spend the next month and a half in paradise.
