Hi, we're Josh and Tamara. In March 2021 we decided that we wanted to learn a new skill. So, we purchased a 2000 MacGregor 26X and thought... well let’s try out sailing! We outfitted and refurbished it for 2.5 months while we very impatiently waited for the weather to warm up so we could splash and start learning how to sail. I know what many of you are thinking. So, you just decided to purchase a sail boat, and you’re going to just figure it out as you go? Well yes and no. We had crewed on many of our friends’ boats however, we were never the captains. But for those of you who know us well know that this is what we do. We jump all in and figure it out as we go! Needless to say, we spent 65 nights on our Mac sailing Lake Okanagan, BC (135km long and 5km wide) from Vernon to Penticton and everywhere in between... many times over. We soon discovered that we wanted to do this full time. We were so exhilarated by living on the water and the overwhelming adrenaline rush you got from just wind power. So, as they say, I thing we need a bigger boat...and a much larger lake! We would like to introduce you to our new home. A 2001 Hunter 460 that we purchased in Hilton Head, SC. We moved aboard Honu Time in March of 2022. Please join us every Friday as we navigate through this new adventure of boat life!

At one point, we noticed the anchor light wasn’t working. Apparently, after six years the battery was dead. We were able to buy a spare anchor light, and I went up the mast to replace it. The first time, we thought it would be easy—just replace the light or the battery—but it turned out that more work was needed. The anchor light had to be unscrewed and the two wires had to be reconnected in the terminal block. And all of that at 22 meters up, right on top of the mast. After some instructions from Gilles, I went up the mast again, this time bringing tools along in the side pockets of the “chair” (bosun’s chair) in which you’re hoisted up. It worked, and the anchor light was shining brightly again at the top of the mast!
