Night Watches and Religious Experiences
April 29, 2013 We’ve now been underway almost 48 hours on route to Raroia in the Tuamotos. The passage thus far has been fine, with no serious issues and not much of anything to report. Rather boring, I guess, but in this world, boring can be a very, very good thing! Weather has just been … Read More →
Nuku Hiva
It’s hard to believe that we have been in the Marquesas for over 3 weeks now…..Wow, the time has really flown for us! After Les and Rose left, John and I really scaled it back! We spent some quality time with our books, wandered around town, visited with other cruisers, and accomplished a few odd … Read More →
Marquesas Photos

Passage Hangover
We have now been here in the Marquesas a week. I really apologize for not getting something up sooner on the blog, but the truth is that I have been really tired and unfocused…..Passage hangover, I suppose…… And it’s not just me….Seems like we’ve all been a bit slow. We’ve kept going, getting our chores … Read More →

Thursday, April 4, 2013 Wow…..Today’s the big day…..It is now just before noon, and we are all looking anxiously for land in the distance.

The Night Before Landfall……Right Here, Right Now
I’ve just come in from standing my watch on the Portuguese bridge, mesmerized by the horizon and the stars as Mystic glides gracefully across the water. This should be the last night before we make landfall tomorrow afternoon, and my last night watch for this journey. I don’t usually spend most of my watch out … Read More →
Day 17 – So Close But So Far
We are getting ready to start our 17th day at sea. The first 14 or so days seemed to fly by, but not so now. It feels like we have come so far, yet it also feels like we still have a long way to go. Our dtw (distance to waypoint) reads 541nm as I … Read More →
Not in the Brochure
Well it seems that John is doing a great job of keeping you up with all the goings on here, so there is not much I can add to his events log except to say that the Half–Way party was awesome! Only one drink, but it was dripping-sweaty-glass cold and a goody!! 🙂 And burgers … Read More →
Day 8 – Perspectives and Reality
When John and I first started dreaming of living on a boat and traveling the world, of course our thoughts went immediately to the South Pacific, with the azure lagoons and white sand, rustling palm trees and air filled with the scent of exotic flowers. I remember so well seeing pictures in the sailing magazines … Read More →
