Interview - Cruising French Polynesia

Submitted by nslavinski on Tue, 12/19/2017 - 19:32

I was recently interviewed by Linus Wilson of the Slow Boat Sailing Podcast about cruising in French Polynesia. You can listen in to the episode here to learn about our favorite places, words of caution, and more.

Island Escapes

Submitted by nslavinski on Sat, 04/01/2017 - 04:49

There are a lot of places we dream of going back to in the South Pacific, but one my mind keeps wandering back to is Urupukapuka in New Zealand's Bay of Islands. Continue reading...

A fun tradition

Submitted by nslavinski on Sat, 02/11/2017 - 20:08

Putting a new coat of antifouling on the hull isn't always fun, but we started a tradition that helped make an occasion out of the job. We paint the lat/long of our position at the time of painting onto the hull first and snap a photo. It gets covered over soon enough, but we now have a nice collage from all around the world! See blog post here!

The Floor of Heaven

Submitted by nslavinski on Mon, 01/02/2017 - 19:41

“I spotted a lighthouse that looked as if it reached all the way to the floor of heaven.” That's just one of many great lines in Jimmy Buffett's romp of a sailing yarn, A Salty Piece of Land. And it's absolutely true, as we discovered upon sailing to Amédée lighthouse in New Caledonia's magnificent lagoon. Continue reading...

Magical Malta: the Crossroads of the Mediterranean

Submitted by nslavinski on Thu, 12/22/2016 - 15:43

It’s hard to cruise the Mediterranean and miss Malta, an island literally at the crossroads of Europe and North Africa. There, it’s as common to meet sailors heading east for the Red Sea as those heading west to Gibraltar, as we were. From the very start of our cruise two months earlier, we had looked forward to visiting this small island that straddles the centuries, and when we arrived... Continue reading...

Interview with the Slow Boat Sailing Podcast

I was just interviewed by The Slow Boat Sailing Podcast about sailing to, in, and around the Galapagos and Marquesas. I hope you find it interesting and useful. Enjoy!

If It's Broke...

Submitted by nslavinski on Mon, 07/25/2016 - 15:13

It's not that you shouldn’t try to fix anything that breaks; it’s just that you don’t necessarily have to fix everything that breaks. The key is knowing when to give in and get on with your cruise. Continue reading...

Celestial Navigation

Submitted by nslavinski on Sun, 05/08/2016 - 15:19

There are few things quite as satisfying as fixing your position by measuring the altitude of a few heavenly bodies. With no other landmarks around, stars and planets help to put a face on an otherwise featureless expanse of ocean — they become our friends at sea during the night. Continue reading...

Honorable mention: Stay or Go?

Submitted by nslavinski on Sun, 03/13/2016 - 17:50

What a nice surprise! My article Should I Stay or Should I Go recently received a merit award at Boat Writer's International annual writing content in the "Boating Adventures" category. It recounts the tricky decision we had to make whether to weather a storm in Tonga or try to beat it with a quick passage to New Zealand. Here's an excerpt of the article, published in the September 2015 issue of Ocean Navigator Magazine. Continue reading...
