A very busy week or two finished

It has been a while since I brought you up to speed on the upgrades/repairs/cleaning and maintenance on Defiant 08. The list goes like this:

1)water tanks had to be sanitized for potable water, and for anyone who does this on an RV knows how how much water has to be used and we have […]

Now the real works starts

Let me start by saying we are both well and still enjoying ourselves. I would like to take the boat out soon to make sure it still sails, hopefully next week but we will see still lots of work to do.

Here’s one, I thought I new how to do this. I tried to […]

Life on Defiant

Hi everyone

We made it to the boat after some delays, everything was as we left it, well not as clean as we left it. It took a couple of days to recover from the trip here, I guess jet-lag but from driving. We have not been sailing yet as there is still a lot […]

Here are some more photos of our last day on the water before returning to Salmon Arm. I will be returning to the golf course for the summer to help restock our finances. To help us return to our sailboat faster you can make your donations thru Paypal

Moving Day

Well we are now at our latest and hopefully greatest marina, Ventura West Marina. The motorsail only took about 90 minutes but it seems to have been the most stressful and I don’t know why. It seems that the more you know the more you worry; compared to the first trip from San Diego to […]

Back in the Sun

Well here we are again in Southern California after two weeks in Sorrento at Sarah’s house. Let me tell you it was cold and almost no sun the entire time. This time we drove back to Oxnard another three days in the car. We brought the cat with us this time and she seems ok […]

Waiting in the cold

Now that we are boat owners we are in Sorrento and the temp is -20 and snowy, and we are 2000 miles from our boat and the warmth of southern California. This will be rectified soon, we are heading back to San Diego Thursday night, first by bus to Vancouver and then we will fly […]
