Category: travel log

2015 was a bang up year. It had it’s fill of tears, but with it came triumphs. I learned a lot about myself–even if it meant just figuring out what I didn’t want I feel like I’m finally on the right path to finding the boat I was meant to sail, and the life I was meant to lead. In between there’s been bikes, beer, and even babies! Join me in this walk down memory lane, and cheers to a happy, healthy new year!

May all of our dreams come true.

This year I… lived aboard one of the most finely built  and well designed sail boats in the world. Finally learned how to row, properly. Was the captain of a vessel (albeit small) for the first time.I learned how to navigate (kind of).
Quit my job as a full time newspaper journalist to go sailing and gunkholing around British Columbia. 



Said goodbye to a community of sailors that were cut from the same cloth.

Bought and sold four different bicycles.




Went on a fully loaded solo bike tour intended to last thousands of miles, but only rode 100.

Worked my fourth harvest in the wine industry

Reconnected with my family after being away for two years.

Began the hunt for my very own sailboat.
