    December happenings

    We spent a few days buddy boating with SV Sunrise II and SV Nebo. Koen on Nebo is a professional chef — nice to hang out with one of those. We had a potluck dinner on evi (17 people — new record for dinner!), and Koen brought paella and garlic prawns. Yum! Jade turned 10!… Read more

Instant friendship developed and we connected often over the next year in idyllic anchorages of NZ and Fiji.  When Hannah received an invite to visit Taylor for her 40th birthday in Hawaii, well…how could she say no?!?  We were… Read more
