🎶Come sail away with me🎶
Were still working our Firefly issues, so this will probably be another data filled quest to find a solution. Since last week we’ve really just been spending a lot of time testing and running “Restore Charges.” Brent has been in contact with his supplier of the batteries, so all we can really do is…
We’ve discovered a problem. It seems our batteries have died somehow. “But Justin, didn’t you just spend a whole bunch of time and money replacing them?” “Why yes dear reader, we did.” That’s the most troubling part. The batteries and whole charging system is brand new. Its a head scratcher for sure. So lets…
10 years ago I met a wonderful woman on a cold night. 7 years ago we drunkenly decided on an a life adventure on a boat. 5 years ago we made a promise to each other. 3 years ago we found Nymeria. Today we sit floating and working toward our next adventure. 3 years…
When we first bought Nymeria, we were given a several sails. We had the main sail and jib that were in the boat, but also a spare main, a storm trisail, a spare jib, a small staysail, and an asymmetrical spinnaker. For us new boat owners this was a bit overwhelming. Why so many,…
After months of waiting on parts, and getting though the holidays. The wait may finally be over. Shortly after I posted last week, we hit the starter button and Nymeria immediately fired back up. I find it fairly amazing just how much of a weight got lifted that moment. Suddenly the sadness and worry…
Somewhere in the ditch coming home from the Harvest Moon Regatta, we started having some “engine” troubles. The engine temperature was fluctuating. Turns out the engine itself was fine, but the gauge wast working. This started a fairly typical rabbit hole of a repair. We decided to replace at least the temperature gauge and…
After Harvest Moon, we had to get the boat back home. All of our crew had left so it was down to just Shannon and I to make the passage. There are two main options. One, go back offshore and sail all the way back, or two, take the Intracoastal Waterway. With our recent…
Its 4AM, we are as prepared as we can be. The rest of the crew will be arriving shortly. All that’s left is to undock and go. Nymeria is ready to race the 2019 Harvest Moon Regatta. We first heard about the Harvest Moon shortly after we bought our boat. It’s an annual 150…
Feels like we are on an up-slope. Last we updated here, we were struggling with a seemingly endless projects that were either not started or partially complete Including this post it seems, as I wrote this back in July). Unfortunately, that’s boat life. We knew that before we started, but it is tough to…
Hard to believe that it has been since November of 2018 that we checked in and wrote on our blog. I have never really kept a diary or any type of travel journal in the past making the blog something that does not cross my mind unless it pops up on my Todoist app…
