Pursuing the cruising dream in 32' of sailing ketch

An update or two

Less witty than usual, this post is just a bit of housekeeping for you.  

I just noticed that the blog had no “Archive” section on the home page, making it really difficult to go back and find an older post. I noticed that because as I was watching the sun rise across the cabin port this morning and sipping my tea (now sadly depleted), I found myself wondering where we were one year ago? 

Partly that’s because it’s damn cool this morning – 56 degrees with a 10 knot breeze feels COLD when you’d gotten used to 70’s & 80’s. 

I know, I get no sympathy from those of you in the northern states: First world problems…

So I’ve added an “Archive” section to the blog.  That means that if you want to know what the crew of Sionna was doing in -say – October of 2016 (Hint: it involved lasers and eye patches and gooey pastries!) you can now easily check it out! Cool.

Thanks for coming along, ya’ll!

Though we're currently land-based, "Sionna" is in the midst of a pretty major refit. Once we get her back together, perhaps the Canadian Maritimes? I hear Nova Scotia calling... Follow our blog here!

  3. We’re in southern California with low cloud cover and cool wind! And this after record breaking heat. What a weird world. But you are back on the boat! Excellent!

  4. I can relate to being freezing – I’ve got two pairs of socks, long pants and a sweatshirt on.

  5. We ran the heater yesterday morning. Smelled horribly of scorched dust. Which in its own way was a good thing, as it was that long since the last time we were cold aboard. Welcome back to real life!

  7. Some encouragement about eye issues. A few years ago I lost my left eye to a combination of glaucoma and retinal disease. It was pretty discouraging to be “almost” able to a lot of things. Now, several years later, I am in the USVI sailing and fixing boats, having a good time of it. Once you figure out how to manage depth perception, loss of…, it’s back to normal.

    • Reading this about two hours out of the operating room! Surgery was more complex than expected, but prognosis good for normal, correctable near-sighted vision. I have been amazed over the last 13 months how few limitations having just one eye creates, but I’m still looking forward to two!
