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 …

February in 1 Second a Day
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 …
