Happy New Year Friends! We are finally coming forward to update our viewers on what's going on... Hitting the Pause Button on our Dream Boat Plans. How are we going to achieve our sailing dreams? Or do they end here...

An update from the Kinetic Catamarans Boatyard on the progress of our KC54, Sphyrna. We cover the start of the interior build out of the furniture and other joinery components. We also discuss the on going collaboration with the designers as we fine tune and finalize interior customizations before fit out. #catamaran #boatbuilding #boatlife #kineticcatamarans

We venture out onto the ice to check out some ice fishing. It's been a warm winter so let's see if the ice is thick enough and if it's worth leaving the comfort of a warm cottage to catch some fish... #cottagelife #cottageliving #fishing #icefishing #retirementlifestyle

With all the major winter storm systems hitting North America from coast to coast this year so far, we thought we would bring you a taste of what it's like to be (temporarily) trapped in our cottage home in rural Canada.
