It rained overnight and it is threatening to rain today as well. It’s a slow start to the day and Jana and I hang out and stretch the dogs again. The dog park’s not big, but does allow us to let them wander a bit.
We end up deciding to go on a bike ride and follow some trails, onroad and offroad, to Palmetto Bay. This gives us an opportunity to scout out a put-in for the paddle boards. We also scout out a soccer field and volleyball court for Jack and Ellie.
That afternoon I picked up some steak and burgers from Whole Foods and we grill out on the ‘deck’. It’s lovely! Jana and I settle in to watch “The Long Way Up” with Ewan McGregor. This is a great documentary of his motorcycle trip from the tip of Argentina to Los Angeles. Ewan and hgis best mate, Charlie, ride prototype electric Harleys all the way through South and Central America, with their crew accompanying them in prototype electric Rivian trucks.
These documentaries are really inspiring for our trip. As our path and destinations take more shape we’re now thinking we’d like to end up in Denali in Alaska rather than stopping in the Pacific Northwest.

Sailing Tahiti to Australia | Month 2 FP
Here is what our second month living on our boat, Hanavave, in Tahiti, French Polynesia, was like.
