We have LONG been getting Banyan ready for our circumnavigation. In reality, we have been preparing for this since we first bought Banyan in 2014. Many of the big items are done and have served us well as we have traveled down the coast and up in the Sea of Cortez. SSB radio (check), rigging …
Stay tuned! We will be posting from our SSB radio while we cross the Pacific Ocean.
For the last several weeks, since we arrived in La Cruz, Mexico, we have been all about getting ready. Getting ready for what you ask? In essence, we are preparing for self-reliance. But, there is also a community element to our preparations and passage making. Tell me about this community. So, one doesn’t just …
We spent 4 months on Banyan in the spring of last year and put her to bed while we RV’d all over the US and Canada. We had an awesome time and it was mainly necessary because of work… and I really wanted to spend the holidays with family. Now, I can not begin to …
Back Aboard! In February we reunited with our home, SV Banyan. We made a passage from Guaymas down to La Cruz, MX and are now marina bound until we get our outboard engine fixed. The girls are very pleased with this scenario as they can hop on and off the boat meeting old friends and …

January was spent in Indiana, Canada, California, and Cameron managed to sneak in Mexico too! We spent lots of time catching up with old friends. We did a bit of work and the girls have really focused on their music. FYI, the fires have not made Napa any less enchanting. It is less busy than …
We had ridiculously nice weather in early December when we left Mexico to head up to Utah. As this was the last leg of our RVing adventure, it was a Godsend to be able to make the most of it. It was cold, but there was no rain or snow accumulation. We were able …
Hi Folks, Somehow our November in 1 Second a Day video didn’t get published on the blog last month. Just in case you missed it on Facebook or my YouTube Channel, check it out here! Cheers, Anne
December was filled with more adventures for the Vawter family. The RV performed beautifully and made it without incident from Mexico, up to Utah and all the way across to Indiana. Woo Hoo! I hope you enjoy our monthly video as we explored National Parks, took a weekend to hit the slopes, spent time with …
