Notice: I have added photos to the previous posts since we arrived in French Polynesia. So, if you would like to peek back at some older posts, you can see the visual support for our stories. Land Ho! Sailing Hiva Oa and Fatu Hiva Sailing Tahuata and Nuku Hiva Reflections on the Marquesas The …
The video is fast and fuirous, just like our September. Enjoy! This is the first time I’ve posted video in a while, let me know if you are able to view this easily.
So, remember how I said that Katie Walker (our RV) couldn’t off road? Well… everyone surprises you at times, don’t they? Late July found us in Yolo County, inspecting baby grape vines which we have on order for our Canadian project. It was an educational stop for all of us with a tour of the …
Telling people that we live in an RV can sometimes leave the wrong impression. As we are on land now, land folks almost inevitably want to know where we live. Usually, the question is followed by a long pause during which we all look at each other with curious smiles on our faces. But that …
