This little guy was bobbing around our boat this morning for at least an hour - FAST ASLEEP!! I touched him a couple of times as he came right up against the sugar scoop and was amazed at just how hot his little flipper "solar panel" was! Seals float around like this with their flippers out of the water in the sunshine, as a way of warming up, so I thought that his flipper would obviously be warmer than our 13 degreeC water but was really surprised by just how hot it was. He was totally oblivious to my touching him over and over - super relaxed and fast asleep.

We’re Adam and Vicki — living a nomadic life by land and sea. At sea, our sailboat Te Tāiko is home as we journey across the South Pacific, exploring remote islands, meeting incredible people, and learning from the cultures we encounter. During the South Pacific cyclone season, we trade ocean horizons for winding roads — travelling through New Zealand in our motorhome Takahē, working, exploring, and preparing for the next sailing adventure. ✨ Join us as we share real stories of slow travel, adventure, and meaningful connection — from life aboard our sailboat to life on the road. #Travel #Adventure #SailingLife #VanLife #NomadicLiving #SouthPacific #NewZealand #CulturalTravel #SlowTravel #TravelVlog We hope you enjoy it!

Ours is a life shaped by curiosity, connection, and a desire to live simply while still holding onto the professional work we love. Between remote anchorages and winding backroads, we share honest stories of what it’s really like to live, travel, and work from the road and sea.
