Wow, I think we are definetly feeling SEAson sick! Fall in New Zealand, Summer in Fiji (yeah I know it is their winter, but it’s hotter than any Canadian summer I’ve ever had) and Spring in Calgary (or more correctly Flood season). Being that we are on…
Merhaba
We are working our way in a NWesterly direction up the Turkish Coastline. We anchored in Ciftlik Bay, a small little beach village. Ciftlik is tucked back in behind a large rock face, it’s difficult to see the opening from the ocean. We had a relaxing …
St. Augustine, FL – 5/28/11 & 5/29/11
The past two days have been spent acting like tourists in St. Augustine. We had a 3 day pass on the Old Town Trolley so we were able to get a lot of use out of it since you could get on or off anywhere around the city in something like 24 spots.5/28/11…

The Black Swan Theory Of Cruising
We were having morning eggs and coffee at Serenity Cafe (our favorite breakfast spot in Whangarei) when Todd Rickard started to opine on the recent troubles in Japan (earthquake, tidal wave, nuclear reactor failure, total dependence on Middle East oil) and that taken together these represented a Black Swan event, and how all of this […]
