The recollection of summer 2023 has become nebulous. Not only was it physically taxing (particularly on Chris) but it was mentally straining on the two of us as well, which has made us crave the days where our biggest problem was deciding if we should go to shore and hike or snorkel around Avocet. Since being back in California, things have been moving fast - lake sailing, deck work, working in general, biking, and buying a house.... yah... a lots happening.

Catalina Island was not part of the plan, but after experiencing some wifi troubles with Starlink we decided to check out Catalina Harbor with our pals aboard SV Kessel. After a couple days of hiking and relaxing we decided to sail to Avalon where we could retrieve the parts necessary to leave. But of course, nothing can be that easy, so we had to continue problem solving. Would we ever leave California??? Watch the full episode to find out 😉 ______________ Follow us on social media!

It had been a hellacious night passage and tensions were high as the uncertain state of our engine loomed over us, but as we set our hook in Morro Bay we felt our troubles melt away... momentarily anyways. We celebrated our first Thanksgiving aboard, visited with our good pals @odysseyalternative and the Kessel Crew and tucked Avocet away in a precarious slip so we could drive home to the mountains and spend the holidays with our families. This is the second part of a very long engine-related saga so.... buckle up 😉 Shout out to our friend @bigsierra9653 for hooking us up with the new tunes! ______________ Follow us on social media!

We never thought we would have a video titled "Our Runaway Diesel" but here we are. When we left Monterey, California our trusty Perkins 4.108 engine decided that she wanted to be a marathon runner, but Chris shut that dream down real quick. All jokes aside experiencing a runaway diesel is a scary experience and could have been much worse had we not known what was happening or how to stop it - so without further adieu we bring to you Our Runaway Diesel Story. This is the beginning of a very long saga... so buckle up, we are just getting started.

We weren't done with the Monterey Bay quite yet - we left Santa Cruz and sailed 22 nautical miles across to the Bay's namesake city of Monterey where we enjoyed the Monterey Bay.Aquarium, Bike Path, caught up with an old friend and even got close and personal with a fün whale! Our departure was less than stellar though, and the beginning of our very long engine saga. Buckle up, there is a lot more to come. *NOTE: Canning industry started in 1850... not 1950... must be all the diesel fumes. You'll understand what I mean shortly.
