The map is not the territory. After 85,000 miles at sea, I’ve learned that a "pretty wind map" is just an opinion. Your job as Captain isn’t to find the perfect line—it’s to find the red flags the model might be hiding.

We arrived at the island of Chios and, as is typical during this time of year, we were the only boat at the quay. We did notice some kind of rack sticking out over the water when we tied our put up at the quay. It turned out that we had docked right in front of the only restaurant that was open, and their specialty was “sun-dried octopus,” which was lying there drying in the sun. Even though the weather was sunny, we still needed some extra electricity—for example, to run a load of laundry. During the low season, electricity is often turned off for sailors, and that was the case here as well. We asked the restaurant owner if we could roll out our 50-meter power cable to the restaurant to get electricity for two days. Of course, we were willing to pay for it. But Greeks are often so hospitable and friendly—it wasn’t necessary. It was around lunchtime, so we showed our gratitude by having lunch and drinks there. A win-win situation! I filmed the restaurant and how our electricity cable was set up—funny to see, also the octopus and the tree in the restaurant!

How We Unload Motorcycle From Big Rig. Our Bike Lift for Truck takes:45 seconds! We live on the road Full-time in a semi-truck and have a bike lift attached. In this video, we show YOU how we unload our motorcycle from our big rig. We have had to do a lot of modifications, including installing a 3500lb winch—(It came with 2500), and it really struggled. Our bike is a 2007 Heritage Softail which weighs about 800lbs. About Us: We are a Travel Vlogging Couple Exploring the Less Traveled Places in the USA From the Seat of our Big Rig! Welcome to Me and The Kiwi: This is the story of how two midlifers met on a three-hour flight from Nashville to Denver, became smitten with each other, fell ridiculously in love, and two months later, threw caution to the wind and went all in. I arrived in Phoenix, Arizona with nothing but a ‘bag of rocks‘--(aka crystals), joined my Sweet Kiwi Man–(aka New Zealander), and began truck driving cross country. On this channel, we explore Top 10 lists on everything about Life on the Open Road and wanderlust in the USA; weird places, awesome roadside attractions, great hikes, unexpected gems, dive bars, what it's like living in 156" space, and more!
