We are still in Seattle for Day 7!

Since we left Anchorage, Sean noticed there was a small oil leak coming from the Jeep. We decided that since we were in the United States now, we should get it checked out. Now, I cannot really remember what was wrong with the Jeep and why it was leaking, but what I DO remember is that the part wouldn't be in until later today, so we decided that instead of going down to Portland, Oregon as planned, we hang around in Washington for one more day. We learned about a park there called Forest Park. If you live in this area and have kids, you HAVE to go and visit this park! They had a big open field for picnics, kite flying or bubbles! There is a playground, sprinklers, a petting zoo and it was all FREE. I didn't realize there would be sprinklers, so I didn't pack the girls bathing suits for that day. SHAME on me! She is trying to catch a singular drop of water. And having so much fun in the process. It's bubble time. I love the lo...

Trail River Campground

Sean and I spotted Trail River Campground back in April on a trip down to Seward. I was excited to go back when the lake was not frozen. We reserved a tent site online and based on the online system, it looked like the campground was really full. When we arrived, there were lots of reserved signs, but on closer inspection, some of the reserved signs were for dates that had passed or in the future. There were many spots available. Anyway, we met the campground host and he informed us that he and his wife were bleaching ALL the bathrooms every day. These were the cleanest campground bathrooms I have ever seen. The cost for tent sites is $18 per day. There is a two week limit. Dogs are allowed and I found this to be a very dog friendly place. If I had to complain about anything it would be that it was kind of noisy. I wasn't sure at first if it was the river or if it was car traffic noise I was hearing. I do like to have white noise when I'm falling aslee...

July's 2026 sailing trip! Day one Seward to Bulldog Cove.

 I guess it has been some time since I updated the blog. Last sailing season was pretty much a bust. We had to take S/V Ulu out of the water and do some pretty extensive repairs. This season though, Ulu sailed like a dream! Sean and I researched and poured over our route ( see document ) and went into this season with a few thoughts we had learned from the previous sailing seasons. 1. Weather gets a big vote! If the weather doesn't make sense, sailing doesn't make sense. 2. We are willing to change our route, our plan, our stays based on all the knowledge we have at the time a decision needs to be made. 3. We motor when there is a time sensitive location (such as we need to get to point XYZ before a strong tide, etc.).  We arrived in Seward on Friday, July 3rd. We had hoped to leave on Saturday, July 4th, but that didn't work out (ie... the weather wasn't good). We started our trip a day later on Sunday, July 5th. Sweet Dingo. So cloudy and rainy on this day. You know w...
