We're transitioning to land, still transitioning to land, still trying to figure out this transition to land...and we're sharing these experiences with all of you.
Yes, we sold our boat, our floating home. It wasn't planned, yet and it did catch Ryan and I a bit by surprise. This episode was difficult for me to make, especially since I went through a lot of footage from when we first started on this adventure. We're not done yet with the South Pacific, we'll see how we will take to land life here, on Moorea, for now. So that means you all are not done seeing us either! :) For details about SV Simplicity, a Nordic 44, check out their website! https://svsimplicity.wixsite.com/simplicity PATREON https://www.patreon.com/twoafloat SOCIAL https://www.instagram.com/twoafloat https://www.facebook.com/TwoAfloat BRAND AFFILIATIONS Highfield Boats - https://highfieldnorthamerica.com Solar Stik - https://www.solarstik.com/ ABOUT Us- Ryan and Nicole Levinson Boat - Kiapa Nui, a custom 48' NEOS / Looping performance cruising catamaran.

In a stroke of both unfortunate and fun sailing events, our alternator pooped out on us just one month after its installation. What the heck!?!?! Thankfully we had our former "burned out" one rebuilt when back in California and onboard. But why again? And so soon? A few days later, all was good on Kiapa Nui and our short jump over to Moorea was nothing short of epic, with strong 35 knot winds at 140 degrees off. Yes, finally not going upwind for once! ;) Until the main did something funky... the webbing on the first reef tore.

Oh yes, it's that time of year where we give some extra attention and love to our floating home from new bottom paint to going the extra mile and getting prop speed. Oh and we share some added boat yard living details too. ;) Cheers everyone!

Most cruisers practice abandoning ship, extinguishing fires, and handling medical emergencies, yet we are far more likely to face self-defense threats than those other situations. So Nicole and I also practice self-defense, building the skills and mindset we will be grateful to have if/when they are needed. In this scenario we deploy a Byrna Mission 4 rifle and Byrna EP pistol against an unwelcome "intruder", an aggressive "dog," and stationary "threats" at various distances and directions. We start with the rifle and pistol stowed, incorporating movement, as well as quickly reloading both weapons. When I watch this, I notice a lot that I did "right" including- not muzzle sweeping Nicole, good pistol reload, mostly accurate shots, good verbal challenge, etc. There is a lot I can improve including- rifle was held too low during reload, I took too long to deploy pistol from waist pack, my stance was off balance with pistol, etc. What do you notice I did well? What can I improve? Is it time for you to train?

Engine love time with ME! Yup, I've learned another new skill. I practiced with Ryan's guidance on the first engine, one of the perks of having two engines I guess...and now I'm ready to show you my skills. :) If I missed anything, please let me know in the comments.

The time to cross an ocean is coming up within the next couple of months for many sailors. And every sailboat has some sort of "ditch kit" in case you need to jump ship. Ryan and I thought it fitting to share with all of you what we have in our ditch kit and bailout bag. You never know, you may have an aha moment and realize you forgot something or maybe we forgot something! Fair winds and safe sailing!
