Position: 23º 44.13′ S 35º 23.628′ E Arrived in Linga Linga (Inhambane) after a night spent hove-to waiting for high tide. We used the extra time to work on our storm tactics. Convivia, it seems, doesn’t particularly like to be still. Vick just beat a Two Dots level that she’s been stuck on “forever.” We […]

Position: 22º 54.198′ S 35º 38.808′ E We are underway to Anhambane, a little roadstead anchorage on the coast of Mozambique. Last night Vick reports getting a better night’s sleep than at anchor, go figure. We have a line out, Vick is hoping for tuna for sushi. All is well.

Position: 21º 15.738′ S 35º 6.438′ E My watch keeps track of how long I sleep each night. I have always thought this was a pretty frivolous feature for my lifestyle. It seems like the kind of thing a high power business exec would use to come to some AH HA moment about their work-life […]

Position: 21º 15.762′ S 35º 6.408′ E Last night we saw lightning that played like a firework display. The bolts would chain and burst. It went on for hours. As a result, we opted against our moonlit sail to the more protected anchorage. This morning we made the move. It was 6 stressful hours of […]

Position: 21º 8.742′ S 35º 6.378′ E So glad that night is behind us. We returned to Convivia after the taco party to find the boat pitching wildly in a Northerly 20 knots. We hipped fatty and checked our anchor snubber and went below to put the kids to bed. After a few rounds of […]

Position: 21º 8.718′ S 35º 6.492′ E Yemaya arrived today with tons of fish. The kids have been reunited with their friends, and are happily creating animals out of felt while we all bop our heads to Frances England. Tonight is Trevor’s Birthday (Happy Birthday T) and we are talking about a fish taco and […]

Position: 21º 8.7′ S 35º 6.492′ E We arrived at first light in B. Diaz. There is nothing here but a little spit of sand and apparently it gets pretty rolly when the tide covers the sand. That said, it is beautiful in its way, and we are delighted to be here. All is well.

Position: 20º 15.708′ S 35º 50.328′ E The last 24 hours has followed the same pattern as the previous days of this passage. Many hours of tedious motoring (and hand steering) followed by some of the best sailing imaginable. Today the whole family was engaged in dreaming about our future. The kids both drew pictures […]
