Our USA road trip is a wrap! We had the most incredible time and although also some bumps along the road, the good experiences far surpassed the obstacles. We just arrived in Vancouver and are excited to spend some time with friends and family. And of course, filling up the cruising piggy bank 😝 . . . #roadtrip #itsawrap #usaroadtrip #vanlife #sprinter #sprintervan #usa #vanlife #travel #travelling #travelblogger #adventure #wanderlust #neverstopexploring #nature #yosemite #california #lake #backhome
Driving up the coast of California as supposed to the highway was worth the extra few hours. So many gorgeous viewpoints and cute towns along the way. We are coming to the end of our road trip and getting pretty stoked about arriving in Vancouver in a couple of days! See you there! 😃 . . . #cominghome #california #californiacoast #mendocino #roadtrip #vanlife #sprinter #sprintervan #flowers #beautiful #sunset #sunsetporn #travel #travelling #travelblogger #adventure #wanderlust #neverstopexploring #ocean #oceanlovers
Throw back to last week when we were roasting under the Arizonan sun admiring nature’s ways to shape the land into mind blowing sceneries. Thanks Mother Nature, for giving us a plethora of gorgeous landscapes to stare at in awe 😍 . . . #arizona #horeshoebend #mothernature #gorgeous #beautiful #landscape #naturephotography #naturelovers #roadtrip #vanlife #sprinter #sprintervan #travel #travelling #travelblogger #adventure #wanderlust #neverstopexploring #tbt #throwback
We’ve been waking up to some incredible views lately. This was just before entering Yosemite. About to drive up the California coast. Any “must stop at” places, or good spots where we can wake up to an amazing view without having our door knocked on? 🤔😴🤫 . . . #vanlife #california #californiaroadtrip #roadtrip #westcoast #sprinter #sprintervan #sprinterconversion #camping #yosemite #lakeview #doglovers #adventuredog #travel #travelling #travelblogger #adventure #wanderlust #neverstopexploring #nature
And to think that we only wanted to spend half a day here 😆 #yosemite has completely blown us away! Such dramatic rock faces, creeks flowing down the valley, powerful waterfalls and incredible view points. We could spend months here if we had the chance! We still have tomorrow morning to explore. Anything you’d recommend within the valley? . . . #nationalpark #waterfall #lake #beautiful #incredible #mountain #recommendations #dog #doglovers #travel #travelling #travelblogger #adventure #wanderlust #neverstopexploring #nature #naturelovers #bluewater #stunning
It’s pretty hard to explain how big this place is. Seeing this beauty from nature made us feel so small and humble. . . . #grandcanyon #roadtrip #route66 #route66roadtrip #grandcanyonroadtrip #vanlife #sprintervanconversion #sprintervan #dogsofinstagram #happydog #doglovers #adventuretime #humbling #travel #travelling #travelblogger #adventure #wanderlust #neverstopexploring #nature
 

Sailing was originally a retirement plan that grew impatient on me.

Sun-dried Fish Jerky RECIPE
Sun-dried Fish Jerky RECIPE

While cruising we have been catching a lot of fish while spearfishing. The fridge and freezer space is always a challenge, which having fish jerky ready to go to snack on and you don’t have to store in the fridge is really handy. It’s easy to do and great snack while you are on watch and don’t really want to go down below making food.

TIDAL GRID. A Cheap way to haul-out your boat
TIDAL GRID. A Cheap way to haul-out your boat

It’s time to pull the boat out of the water and you don’t want to pay the big bucks. Well, I fell you! The good news is for centuries, salty sailors didn’t have those fancy slings and trailers to pull boats out of the water. One of the proven techniques that was used was “tidal grids”. Tidal grids??! What the hell is that you say?!? Well a tidal grid is simply a place that lets you bring your boat to this location or dock at a pre-chosen high tide. After the boat is nicely tied and secured to the pillars/dock and resting on it’s keel, the hull of the boat will be exposed at low tide. This is a very affordable technique to work on your boat and do various maintenance: cleaning the hull, changing a thru-hull, zincs anodes, paint, etc.

On our boat we did a full hull scrapping, cleaning and full repaint with 2 coats of anti-falling paint. With all the money we saved, we hosted dinner and beers for all our friends that came to help us that day.

I know the idea of balancing your sailboat on the keel sounds quite scary, but if done properly, it’s a lot easier than you think. Through this post, I will walk you through all the steps I took in order to successfully use a tidal grid and save tons of money!! $$$

Someone once told me that you have to do the things that scare you if you want to get the most out of life. Sailing was one of them.
