It can be maddening trying to find, buy and then store all those chart books we boaters need for long-distance cruising. We’ve always felt it was important to have paper charts as a back up to our GPS chartplotter as well as for route planning. The downside of paper charts/chart books is storage on a…

We have arrived at Hillarys Boat Harbour, just north of Perth and we are tied to the marina preparing to wash and polish the salt from the decks.

After a day of hard work, we like to think of the traditional pour as a ‘reward’. About the only time we don’t have wine is when we’re underway. Otherwise, you can be sure as Debbie prepares the evening meal, there will be a bottle opened. Eliana has a small wine cooler on board. We usually keep a few bottles of red and white in ther…

We left beautiful La Paz at the beginning of June and headed off for what turned out to be a busy and wonderful summer. After a very brief stop in La Conner to rest the dog, and check on our house and some of ourfriends, we were off to Anchorage for …
At dawn (if you could call it that) on September 25th, after an almost sleepless night, we didn’t have any really good options. The overnight rain had now changed to thunderstorms, which were predicted to last throughout the day. If we sa…
