An interesting read, a good time not to fly, and in the “Really, WTF?” department… The other day, we’d rowed over to the marina to get some water. While there, another couple on a catamaran were topping off before sailing to Bonaire that evening. We asked them how they were clearing out and they told …
Gestapo cosplay, a Mother’s day song, and in the “not really surprised” department… With apologies to Mom and Frank Zappa, what we really need in the VolksCruising world is a whole lot more invention rather than the same old same. “The mother of invention is necessity” I’ll be the first to admit that while old …
Obvious, but still needs to be said, a take on the subject of Zen, and in the “This looks like fun!” department… Not your run of the mill voyage. There’s more over at Ella in the Arctic to check out.

I also have to hit the post office to pick up some needful parts. Oh yeah, I also need to install a new chain pipe. Not …

Some folks doing good, an astute observation, and something from the “Well, this is interesting” department… So, I just read this about the federal minimum wage. It got me thinking… One could cruise comfortably fairly easily on $1,160.00 a month. Sure, you’d need to do your homework, have an affordable well maintained boat, and have …
Empty harbors, inept fascists, and in the “about that knock on the door” department… TUPAIA video channel
A vengeful whale spirit, backpackers beware, and in the “Yep, Covid is still around” department… The tale of the two German backpackers got me thinking how I, as a sailor, would handle a world where it’s required to have a detailed sailing itinerary.
