In our post passage fog our brains are fogged, our bodies are fatigued, we’re blissfully happy and our to do list is large:
✓ Have a full nights sleep (the first in a month!)
✓ Acclimate to a new culture and climate
✓ Check in to our new host country
✓ Source provisions
✓ Laundry, Laundry, Laundry
And the list goes on…
Join us as we figure it all out and make a plan for the months to come.

▬▬ OUR STORY ▬▬
We are a multigenerational sailing channel with 2 boats and 1 collective dream of crossing oceans.
Meet Mick, Kate and their 2 boys Thomas and Bentley aboard Meraki a Stan Huntingford Explorer 45. An Aussie/Canadian family who dreamed of living life differently and took the leap into sailing life during COVID and have never looked back. Sailing from beautiful BC, Canada down to Mexico and then across the Pacific, through the South Pacific islands onwards to Australia and BEYOND!
You'll also get to know Kevin and Shawna (parents to Kate) aboard M2 a TransPac 49'. They've had had a lifelong dream to sail the world and are currently in the Caribbean with big plans to transit the Panama Canal very soon!
While the original goal was to be visiting anchorages together, life had different plans. With one boat being purchased in the Pacific NorthWest and the other acquired in the Caribbean we've been waiting out Hurricane season in separate Oceans.. but the reunion is going to be OH, SO, SWEET!
Explore the world through our eyes on our sailboat adventure of a lifetime! Let us take you with us on this journey to the next destination.
If you love adventure and want to see more you're in the right place.

Hey, Little tip for laundry in 5L bucket. (You want the water the flow out of the holes.) Buy a plunger, drill some 1/4” holes into the plunger around the circumference. Place the lid on the 5L pail. Make sure to drill a hole in the lid (so plunger handle can go up and down). It’s a little less back breaking. Plus, you can get the kids to help.
Absolutely beautiful. Your videos are fantastic. Thank you. Love to all of you ❤

Heyy! stoked to see ya here!
It's so great to see all three generations reunited. What an incredible experience!! I know that the prediction game you guys played was mostly for fun, but think it was also really smart of you. Thomas and Bentley are learning so much about the world from this trip, but you are also teaching them the importance of predicting and planning appropriately. Well done!

Thanks so much guys! We tried to do as many things as we could for the crossing that kept the kids engaged in our progress and it worked pretty well. It was absolutely so special reuniting with Mom and Dad
Polynesia seems like a good place to hang out, even if it's chores and sleep. Bad luck with your dingy! You did so well with the trip, and so little trash. I can understand that a light rain feels good in that tropical country. Captain Cook has nothing on Captain Mick.

19:30 💜 This is one great video! And you're a great narrator Kate! Please find a way to add smell-o-video to your posts 'cause while we can see and hear this whole new world, we need to SMELL the ocean & French Polynesia, the fresh baggettes, the tropical breezes...just something to do in your spare time! 😁😊
