Tioga is all ready to head offshore again, this time without us 😭 Having missed our window to sail her back to Vancouver ourselves we've hired a delivery captain. It's never easy handing your boat over to someone else, but Captain Fraser has 100,000
Boom's back! We had it welded back together and reinforced, 2 ft on either side, with 3mm strips of aluminium. She doesn't look pretty but after two years sailing offshore I now know pretty is overrated 😂 . Now we just need to sew the slides back on
Here is poor Tioga: 18 days after departing Wellington for Raivavae with a broken boom, back in NZ. 😭 This passage was difficult from the beginning, filled with an unfortunate combination of heavy weather and bad luck. 🤦🏽‍♀️ Day 1: freak wave
So long New Zealand! We're setting off on our 2,600nm passage to Raivavae in the Australs! We can't wait! . #offshore #offshoresailors #offshoresailing #sail #sailing #sailingtheworld #sailboat #sailinglife #travellife #travelgram #instatravel #trave
It's provisioning time on Tioga! Cabbage isn't my favorite but it's one of the few veggies that will last for 3 weeks unrefrigerated so here we are. . #provisioning #passageprep #goingoffshore #offshoresailing #offshoresailors #sail #sailing #sailing
We're swapping out our racor fuel filters today ahead of our big sail home to the motherland 🇳🇿➡️🇨🇦 We knew the South Pacific was somewhat notorious for 'dirty fuel' but were not expecting this! Or the muddy sludge at the bottom of the filter 🤢

We have A LOT of offshore miles ahead of us. ⛵ We're planning on sailing Tioga back to Vancouver via the Australs, Fakarava and Hawaii. That's 3 x 3 week legs and several thousand nautical miles. Oh! And we plan on doing it in 4 months. 🤦🏽‍♀️ S
This is the look your co-captain gives you when you tell him it's time to drop the main and he's gotta go on decks in 40 knots and breaking waves to get the lazy jacks out. 🌬⛵ Check out our highlights 📽 link in bio! . Our first sail of the year wa

Went for a dip in the Tasman Sea! 🧜🏽‍♀️🧜‍♂️ After months in the warm waters of the South Pacific it was a jolt to the system...I wanted to wear a wetsuit in but my dignity wouldn't let me 😂 #tasmansea #southisland #newzealand #kaiterteri
We did a lot of cool things in Fiji but one of the coolest was our beach wedding! 🤵👰🏽 . #sail #sailing #sailtheworld #sailingtheworld #sailor #sailorlife #offshoresailing #travel #travellife #travelgram #instatravel #traveltheworld #love #instalo
