Day 3, Next Stop Friday Harbor
Day three was an easy day, with the destination being Friday Harbor. After a few hours of sailing and some motoring (I had to time my trip to avoid some very strong currents between some of the islands), I was definitely ready for a shower, some reliable internet service, and a real meal at a […]

Stuart Island
I spent the night on a mooring ball in Prevost Harbor, Stuart Island, and arrived early enough to visit the island for a few hours. So I took the dinghy to shore and spent time hiking the island and seeing a couple of the highlights. Stuart Island only has a handful of residents, and a […]

Day Two in the San Juan Islands
I ended my first day on Susia wandering the island a bit and chatting with others folks who were there for the night. I was invited to several campfires and got some great advice about my route from others who had been there before. I’ve been so impressed with how friendly and willing to share […]

Sailing the San Juan Islands
For years I’ve been interested in the idea of sailing, so last year about this time I decided it was time to get this out of my system one way or another. I’d never been on a sailboat, and only ever been on little recreational boats a couple of times in my life. So I […]

Venice
The last stop was Venice for two days before heading home. Venice was flooding throughout our time here which was really interesting to see firsthand. We had great Italian food, went to St Mark’s Square and the waterfront, and generally just enjoyed just wandering through the maze of alleys of Venice. We visited what is […]

Split, Croatia (and Krka National Park)
In Split we rented a car and ventured out to a national park and see the waterfalls. It took about an hour to get there and the drive was pretty easy. Then we walked around and saw some amazing scenery. We’d hoped to swim at the base of the falls, but they recently banned that, […]

Hvar, Croatia
Hvar was a day to relax. Our friends had family here that they wanted to visit, so they arranged a private speedboat to take them to a nearby island to visit for the day. Kenzie and I decided it would be a good day to take a quick look around town and then head back […]

Kotor, Montenegro 🇲🇪
Kotor is a small medieval town at the end of a beautiful fjord. The walled city is not nearly as large as Dubrovnic, but something about this place is really special. Sitting in the ship in the bay and looking at the old city from the water is just beautiful. We went into town and […]
