We are celebrating two massive milestones this weekend! Not only is it Memorial Day weekend, but it’s officially our 3-year anniversary as a sailing couple. To celebrate, we traded our usual dock for the historic, resilient shores of Galveston Beach, Texas. In this episode, we’re remembering the roots of the island and the holiday. From the solemn Civil War origins of Memorial Day to the Galveston Historic Pleasure Pier, this island is a monument to the human spirit. Of course, no trip to the coast is complete without savoring the lifestyle. We’re taking you along to our favorite local seafood grills right on the Seawall to enjoy some fresh Gulf catch, talk about what it really is like to slow down and enjoy the present by chasing your own version of "nirvana." Ending: Those that we're remembering are beloved friends and family in the past few months - R.I.P! Whether you’re a long-time sailor or sitting at home dreaming of the day you can finally cast off the lines—this one is for you. Clear skies and smooth sailing, Rodney & Cyndi ⛵✨ -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 👉 SUBSCRIBE to follow our journey: https://youtube.com/@SailingIntoNirvana 🎵 Copyrighted music licensed from Lickd.

"We unloaded from the tender onto a white sandy beach where there was a pontoon-of-sorts, two men sweeping, a patrol boat and a lot of hermit-crabs. We tiptoed into the crystal clear water, in the lee of the curving coconut palms......... followed by some of the boys carrying bloody meat scraps. As soon as the blood began dripping into the water, the sharks were there. They shot past and around us with jaws snapping and tails flicking in every direction. As more blood and meat hit the water, their numbers increased and we were standing right in the middle of a feeding frenzy. Some of us snorkelled and the others just looked down through the water`s surface into the tangle of cruising killers! The sharks were black-tipped youngsters, but the profile of a baby shark and a full-grown adult is exactly the same, and when we put our heads into the water and scanned around, there was little to tell our brains that these babies were harmless! I kept my fingers curled into my palms......" (Joanna Simpson) https://www.thesevenseas.net/raja-ampat/

This 2004 Zodiac Hurricane inflatable with a jet drive is an exceptional vessel for exploring the rugged and remote wilderness of British Columbia. Built with military-grade durability, its heavy-duty Hypalon tubes and rigid hull offer strength, buoyancy, and safety even in unpredictable coastal or river conditions. The compact design allows easy trailering and launching from remote beaches, forest access points, or shallow tidal creeks that larger boats can’t reach. The jet drive propulsion delivers outstanding maneuverability and safety in shallow or debris-filled waters such as estuaries, glacial rivers, and inlet backchannels. Without an exposed propeller, it can glide over submerged logs or rocky shoals that define much of BC’s wild coastline and freshwater systems. This makes it ideal for wilderness photographers, anglers, or adventurers seeking hidden coves and untouched terrain. Lightweight yet incredibly stable, the Zodiac handles swells and chop efficiently, while its fast planing performance reduces travel time between remote anchorages. The simple, low-draft setup also requires minimal maintenance compared to traditional boats. Whether navigating the misty fjords of the North Coast, the salmon-rich rivers of Haida Gwaii, or the serene stillness of Desolation Sound, the 2004 Zodiac Hurricane jet offers unmatched versatility and confidence in Canada’s wild waters. The pontoons have recently been serviced in 2022, with new VHF, AIS, chart plotter and radar in 2022 as well. Boat also includes a triple access trailer. LOA: 24’6″ BEAM: 9′ POWER: 315HP Yanmar 6LPA-STP Diesel coupled with a Hamilton Marine Jet Drive (450 Hours) HULL: Aluminum
