We bought a canyoning harness before leaving Australia and it was still adjusted for Carolyn’s small size, so she was the one to try it first. The fourth mast step was too stiff to be opened so that’s as high as she climbed. We’ll need to carry some kind of persuader to open them, until they free up a bit. After that first climbing effort we had a second go in the fading light, with the two halyards again but also the winch this time. Much easier, for her! :-)

Whenever a Southern Wind hull meets a trusted performance Hall Spars composite rig, it is a beautiful sight. But when SW96#05 'Liberty' was stepped in February, it felt extra special.

I grew up sailing the local waters of the Patuxent River and the Chesapeake Bay, where we stood constant watch for other boats, crab pots, and debris in the water. Sometimes it is hard to relax. It is not until you go off the coast that you really come to appreciate the peace and solitude of sailing and the sea. You have time to enjoy your surroundings and mentally record those Moments in Time. Feel free to comment and let us know your thoughts. Subscribe and share the adventure!

A program through the Alberta government has been implemented to restore historical wetlands on agricultural properties. The county applied for the grant and asked me to host the project here on the farm. Of course, everyone here was in agreement. 80 year old aerial photos and other evidence indicate that this field had wetlands that were subsequently filled in and lost. As happens everywhere that factory farming occurs. Now, in order to destroy wetlands on your land, you have to pay a fee. Those fees go into these WRP (Wetland Restoration Project) projects. I feel great that we are contributing to the development of habitat for countless pollinators, amphibians, and bird and mammal life with this project. I’ll put out a full-length video soon with more details.
