Like many other countries in the world the Philippines has been under strict STAY AT HOME orders, there has been NO provisions for outdoor exercise. On Saturday restrictions changed in different areas of the country but I could only find conflicting info about where I am. It was frustrating to say the least. So, on Sunday, without certainty about if it was allowed I went for a walk to beginning of the deadend road where the boatyard is, about 2km one way. I stayed far away from the few people I passed. I stopped in the dappled light just before the roadblock at the main road and took out my headphones. It was first time since March that I have been close to trees, heard bird song other than the caw of a rooster or smelt flowers in bloom. I expected my expression to be a little happier, but honestly I was just overwhelmed. People often use the expression a "forest of masts" when describing a boatyard. Having just spent the past couple months confined to a parking lot of boats I can assure you, there is nothing forest like about a bunch of metal poles. Also, happy to report my legs still work. #boatyard #forestofmasts #quarantine #forestwalk #sailing #yachting #liveaboard #mindfulliving #yachtkate

Yesterday afternoon, instead of cowering under the fan inside I went downstairs and tidied up under the boat. I watched the kids play baseball on the sandbar, marvelled at the wild, creeping passionfruit vines that are slowly taking over the boatyard and cleared a little spot against the fence to sit in the shade. From my new vantage point Kate suddenly looked totally different, like she was alive and bobbing, happily at anchor rather than being so stuck in stasis on the hard. I realized (again, for the first time, I should really write this stuff down) that the situation is only as bad as I let it be. Concentrate on the negatives and tada!, you'll feel even worse. Change your perspective just a little and you'll see things through new eyes. #newport41 #lifeonthehard #boatyardlife #sailing #yachting #liveaboard #mindfulliving #mindfulsailing #yachtkate

TBT Becalmed somewhere between Fiji and Tonga 2013 Sailors are familiar with spending long stretches in isolation, we just call it being on passage. Learning to cope with all the unease and uncertainty that goes along with those times is a necessity. This excerpt from my journal while on passage years ago seems strangely poignant during these days of global isolation. "I cannot think too long of where we’ve come from or concentrate too long on our destination for time and distance are a pair of tricksters and will make fools of us all. Now is all that matters as the variables are many and situations change in an instant. I lose my sense of place, direction, time and self as measured against the wind and waves. The dark, deep ocean is at once comforting and humbling." #tbt #sailing #sailinglife #isolation #covid19 #yachting #liveaboard #mindfulliving #mindful #newport41 #yachtkate

There hasn't been much joy, or even catharsis, in my galley recently. These days cooking has been little more than a daily reminder of restricted food supplies and the fact that I am alone and so very far away from anyone I love to share a meal with. Meals over the past few weeks have been little more than required nutrition to keep me going. Helpful to the body, but not good for the spirit. Then the other day a little old man on the village was selling mangoes, some of the first of the season. That night, as I was prepping ingredients for a quick sauteed chicken and mango dinner, the warm evening light filtered in through the companion way and danced across my cutting board. For the first time in a long time I reached for my good camera. The perfect lighting was fleeting, and impossibly ephemeral to capture, but it reminded me of so much that I already know; that simplicity is beautiful, that it is important to relish in the bright moments of the day (especially these day) and that I cook not just as act of love for others but most importantly as an act of self love. A much needed end to a rough week. #mindfulliving #mindfuleating #cookingonboard #selflove #selfcare #yachting #liveaboard #sailinglife #newport41 #lifeonthehard #boatyardlife #yachtkate

I snapped this polaroid moments before Steve stepped off the boat to head to work 67 days ago. Beside a brief handshake way back in Feb this is the last physical contact I had. What I find most difficult about separation and isolation is not being by myself but not having someone to sit next to, to whisper secrets to, to hug. If you are lucky enough to be quarantined with family or loved ones be sure to appreciate those little moments, they mean more than you know. #polaroid #memories #hugs #singlehanding #sailing #lockdown #yachtkate

I am choosing to stay in the Philippines, alone and under lockdown not because I have a boat or can't find a flight, but because it is the option that poses the lowest risk to myself and all others here and in Canada and along the way. Many of the stories I have read from Canadian travellers who are panicking to return home say something along the lines of "If I do get sick I want access to Canadian healthcare, I need to get home." Yet, if people continue to spread covid-19 around the globe by travelling during this precarious time that healthcare system, and all others, will be overwhelmed. The best minds in the world are urging us to stay away from large crowds and confined spaces in order to stop the spread of covid-19. Airports and days of international travel are exactly the opposite of that recommendation. It is time to stay calm and if you are not in danger sit tight, even if that means being far from loved ones. Nothing about this pandemic is easy, but if a few more lives can be spared by make the difficult decision of not getting on a plane to go back to the familiar then it is worth it. #covid19 #stayhealthy #philippines #travelsafe #yachting #sailing #newport41 #yachtkate

TBT to an afternoon on the beach in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico during the Swine Flu outbreak, 2009.

There are many superstitions to do with changing a boat's name. Elaborate rituals to follow and rules to abide by, depending if the vessel is in or out of the water. Thankfully we are not changing her name, just replacing the worn and faded yellow vinyl decal. I often wonder who Kate was, and why someone thought to name this boat after her 47 years ago. In a blog post back in 2014 I wrote, "Kate is strong and graceful and fast. She is simple and elegant with just the right amount of hard lines and soft edges. She challenges me and protects me. She is the kind of women I aspire to be." Still true. #boatname #namechange #sailing #superstitious #womenwhosail #yachting #newport41 #yachtkate

Stuck at my desk today, deadlines looming, the wind howling, the boat shaking and the coffee pot empty. Found this little gem while sourcing photos for an upcoming article. A postcard from my past self writing to say "Wish you were here."
