We’re still hanging out stateside.  We’ve been here a little over two weeks and head back in Auckland on New Year’s Eve!  Besides using this time to catch up with family and friends I’ve been doing a little behind-the-scenes work on the website.  So if something disappears or no longer functions, you know who to blame.  Some friends notified us of the fact we were voted one of the 50 Must Read Boating Blogs by boatinsurance.org And back in August we were voted Website of the Week by Cruisingcompass.com (by Blue Water Sailing).   Nice!  Keeping a blog while traveling can sometimes be a pain in the ass.  It’s nice to know people are reading and appreciating.

Here’s the third installment in the Lost On Purpose series produced by Aaron Hodgins Davis.  After escaping Ecuador and pausing in the Galapagos, we were finally on our way across the Pacific.  This shows you just how boring it can be out there!  Make sure to watch the scene during the credits.  It’s hilarious!

Here’s Episode 2 about our time in the Galapagos last year.  We were “tailenders” which means we crossed the Pacific late in the season (September) compared with most who leave from Mexico, Panama, or South America in March/April.  There were only 4 or 5 other boats in the harbor!
