Our First Overnight Passage! We Sailed to Crescent City, California from Neah Bay! It was 3 solid days and 3 solid nights of sailing! Overnight passages are weird, cool, scary and fun. We are new sailors! Thank you for being here. If you dig the journey, we would love you to subscribe or check out our blog at: https://gypseaexplorer.com/ Cheers! Heather & Chris! Me & The Kiwi

This Wharram Tiki is an extremely reluctant sale by its Canadian owners. They only purchased the boat just before lock down and planned a few years sailing in the Mediterranean. They only stayed on board and had a brief play with the boat before returning to Canada intending to return shortly, but unfortunately life's events have prevented them from getting to the boat, so the tough decision has been to sell. Coincidence has a part to play in this tale as the previous owner just surprised me as I was writing this description and came to say hi! Robert and Helen the previous owners and builders have their new catamaran moored on the same dock and have promised to help us with the sale, if anyone needed any help familiarising with the catamaran on purchase as the current owners will not be able to make it..... They nostalgically still walk by their old friend every day to and from their boat. The legend is if you cut a Wharram owners head off they will have Wharram stamped through them like Brighton Rock, ha! Many have as much fun building their catamarans as sailing them. This one is a really professional build and one of the best Tiki's I have ever seen. Where ever you wander on the planet you will undoubtably see a Wharram sitting in the marina or at anchor. These sea worthy tried and tested catamarans have a massive following like the VW Camper Cult! Don't forget wether you have spent 3.5 million on your luxury supercat spending 35,000 on this gem you will be sharing the same view! Being in Sant Carles De La Rapita with cheap transferable moorings, This is a micro cruiser with everything on it! Chances are that your already part of the Wharram following and looking forward to the lifestyle that accompanies it! The key items that come with Mango are: Forestay (2017) bridle (2014) Spectra shrouds (2015) and lazy forestay (2011)

Ragazzi non succedeva da… mesi? No, non che facessimo la spesa. Ma che ci alzassimo dal letto alle 10!!!! Io mi sono svegliato alle 7 e ho finito il libro Crypto di Dan Brown, Cami ha aperto un occhio e l’ha richiuso senza indugio fino alle 10.00. Che sensazione meravigliosa l’otium. Avevano capito tutto già i romani! Alle 10 ci alziamo e andiamo a riempire il frigo. Prendiamo il gommone e voliamo a 24 nodi verso la parte olandese. Ragazzi 24 nodi con un gommone da 3,5 metri è davvero VOLARE. Arriviamo a terra e un mostro si apre nei nostri stomaci. Una fame che solo un ottimo panino locale può saziare. E così, cediamo. Mettiamo le gambe sotto a un tavolo e ci godiamo la coccola di un pranzetto improvvisato. Seguono spesa e chilometri sotto il sole con acque e borse della spesa per tornare al gommone. Il pomeriggio è passato veloce e, citando Quasimodo, fu subito sera. Un bel tramonto culla Julia e i nostri pensieri. Da domani pare debba arrivare qualche scroscio… ci godremo anche quello! Da lunedì testa sul timone: pensavamo fosse a posto, invece ha ancora gioco in acqua. Vi aggiorneremo! Buona notte/risveglio Andrea
