We rolled into Hanalei after our overnight passage and it was hate at first sight. This was supposed to be one of the most beautiful anchorages in the world and we hated it… The water was a murky brown, it was cloudy and rainy and a north wind was pushing in 4 foot rollers, Read More
And that brings us to now, on a night passage to Hanalei Bay on Kauai. It is a distance of about 100 nm, so a true overnighter. This will be our first with the two kids. Fynn is great at night as she seems to sleep through anything but she is a bit trickier, Read More
Our next layover was Lono Harbour where we barely had the anchor set before the boat was swarmed by bees. We shut everything down and headed ashore where a made made lagoon was the perfect swimming hole for Bowen. It was his first time in the water (he hadn’t even had a bath yet!!!!), Read More
The next few days we visited Lahaina (again!) and then went pack to Kanapali for a few nights. The beach here is fantastically fun as it is super steep right into the water. When everyone had their fill of beaches we headed up to Honolua Bay. The bay is a nature preserve and a, Read More
The next day was intense. We left as soon as Fynn woke up to walk to the laundry mat. We only had enough money to wash so we lugged the damp clothes back to dry on the lifelines. On route to Asunto we stopped by Yare for breakfast cake – the second and final, Read More
As McGregors wasn’t a favourite the first time around we certainly weren’t interested in staying any longer the next morning. So first thing we headed up to Kaanapali, which had come highly recommend to us. We loved it and couldn’t figure out why it wasn’t in the guidebook. We anchored in sand in the, Read More
Feeling like we were about done with Lahaina (and spending money!) it was time to head towards the snorkelling haven of Molokini. It certainly lived up to it’s reputation! We also completely lucked out and had the bay to ourselves. As we approached the bay I started looking for a mooring ball to tie, Read More
Wowsers, what to say! Hawaii feels like a total blur and some weird combination of cruising and vacation. Somedays feel like pure vacation, like when we rented a car on Oa’hu, other days feel like super hard cruising. Adapting to cruising here with our newborn, Bowen, has been an interesting ride. There were certainly, Read More
So Fynn and Bowen and I are already back in Vancouver after an amazing 6 weeks in Hawaii. Kolby and crew are off on there second major passage to Sitka Alaska. The estimated travel time is around 20 days. But first I will throw a bunch of great posts up from Hawaii. It was, Read More
