Twice In A Lifetime: Galactic

http://thelifegalactic.blogspot.com/p/boat.html

Twice In A Lifetime. Our first boat was a 25' lake sailor that we named Little Auk. We sailed that boat far and wide around Kodiak. Our next boat was the 37' Pelagic. Which we sailed from Alaska to Australia. When we had our second child in Hobart, we decided it was time for a new boat. More than anything else, I wanted a boat with doors. Pelagic. We ended up finding this new ride in California. We named her Galactic. Reasoning that if Pelagic. Meant "of the open sea", Galactic. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Twice In A Lifetime: The Last Australian Frontier

http://thelifegalactic.blogspot.com/2012/12/the-last-australian-frontier.html

Twice In A Lifetime. Tuesday, December 18, 2012. The Last Australian Frontier. As our time in Australia nears its end, there remains one frontier of cultural understanding that we haven't explored. As much as we may feel at home in this country, we are completely in the dark when it comes to Australian sports. So Elias and I pushed back the veil of our ignorance, just a little bit, by attending the third day of the current cricket test match this weekend - Australia vs. Sri Lanka. The politics of saturat...

Twice In A Lifetime. Thursday, August 6, 2015. Notes From a 'Nother World. Northwest Arm), Beagle Channel.

Very different. Seno Ventisquero, Brazo Noroeste - centolla. Fishermen unloading their female catch. After Caleta Brecknock and Bahía Desolada. Feast was fair c...

Twice In A Lifetime: Port Davey

http://thelifegalactic.blogspot.com/2013/01/port-davey.html

Twice In A Lifetime. Monday, January 14, 2013. So here's the thing about Port Davey - to get there from Hobart in your boat, you have to stick your nose out on the south coast of Tassie and travel dead west for a day. Since southern Tasmania is well into the roaring forties, you need a lull in the persistent westerly winds to make the trip. That's one of the things that makes Port Davey special - it can be tough to get to. We had a perfect. Family life is a little more mellow now, in the two-year-old and...

Twice In A Lifetime. Sunday, August 30, 2015. Wherever the Mothership is. And that's where we are now. Back on Galactic. In Puerto Williams with our 200 (? Kilos of food and baggage after five weeks away and 90 hours of travel, door to door, to get back. He'd never seen snow before.and spring breakup. Was a revelation, too. We slept one night on the redeye to Santiago, one night in the hotel in Punta Arenas, and two nights on the ferry to Puerto Williams. Being able to cook in the hotel was crucial.

Twice In A Lifetime: Our Checkered Past

http://thelifegalactic.blogspot.com/p/our-routes.html

Twice In A Lifetime. We left our hometown of Kodiak, Alaska on board Pelagic. On June 23, 2007. After sailing down the west coast of North America to La Paz, Baja California, we set out across the Pacific and reached Australia on October 22, 2008. During the next year we sailed up and down the east coast of Australia between Townsville and Hobart. In Hobart we sold Pelagic. Could afford, we ended up buying Galactic. This time our deadline was Elias' first day in school. Are in green, and those on Galactic.

Twice In A Lifetime: Twice In A Lifetime

http://thelifegalactic.blogspot.com/2011/03/twice-in-lifetime.html

Twice In A Lifetime. Sunday, March 20, 2011. Twice In A Lifetime. I don't actually think that we'll have too many moments of déjà vu. In our upcoming trip to Australia - just as you can't step into the same river twice, I'm sure that you can't sail across the same ocean twice. I expect that our experience this time around will be something quite different from what we found on Pelagic. March 22, 2011 at 11:07 PM. Hang in there folks. Twice in a lifetime is about twice what normal folks get to. Ma...We ar...

Twice In A Lifetime: South From Alaska

http://thelifegalactic.blogspot.com/p/book.html

Twice In A Lifetime. A book that speaks to both sides of the brain simultaneously and without contradiction…prose so beautiful, and with such a dose of self-deprecating comic relief, that you yearn to be there with them. Litzow is a talented writer…evocative and powerfully visual. As a sailor who raised his daughter aboard, I was touched by this book. Litzow writes from the heart. Cap'n Fatty Goodlander, sailor and writer. Lin Pardey, author of. Storm Tactics Handbook, Self Sufficient Sailor and. While I...
