TBT To a cold February day in San Diego 2009. We spent our first weekend on anchor. I woke to the condensation from our breath dripping on my face, he made heart-shaped pancakes for Valentines breakfast. Less than a week after I snapped this picture we would be on our way to Mexico and beyond. Never looking back, never sure of what lay ahead, always together. #younglove #tbt #throwbackthursday #valentine #ichoochoochoseyou #sailing #yachting #liveaboard #sailinglife #yachtkate

I've been camped out on the sofa for the last 24 hours dealing with a bout of with food poisoning (easier to sit up quickly than to crawl out of the vee berth). Adding insult to injury is that there is no one here to put the kettle on for tea or make me something easy to eat. Today I mustered up enough energy to make myself a hot lunch, and I turned to what always calms my upset stomach; plain white rice. Thought I would share my trick of boiling an egg on top of the rice. Simply bring the rice up to a boil, turn it down to simmer and place eggs on top. In the time it takes the rice to finish cooking the eggs will perfectly hard boiled. Saves LPG, time and effort. (Don't forget to wash your eggs before adding them to the pot!) Find out why am psuedo-singlehanding on the blog, link in profile. #mindfulliving #mindfuleating #mindful #rice #eggs #cookingonboard #liveaboard #psuedosinglehanding #singlehanding #sailinglife #newport41 #sailing #yachting #yachtkate

We keep a ship's log where we record our miles, conditions, sail plan and GPS coordinated during passage. I keep a separate log where I write weekly notes about what we did, what we saw, what islands we anchored at. I also jot down recipes and include keepsakes like pressed flowers, notes from friends, receipts. I have a small pocket notebook I carry with me to write quick, daily observations and ideas. A spiral bound exercise book is for brainstorming and taking research notes. A harddrive organized by country, then month/year is home to all my photos. All these come together (and quickly congest the small navigation station desk) when I am writing an article or a blog post. #writinglife #writing #writersofinstagram #journaling #sailing #yaching #liveaboard #yachtkate

Ten years ago I made cockpit cushions. Two large cushions on each side, they were comfy and practical, two were used to make a berth when we dropped the salon table. But at 36" long they were a pain in the butt to store, always got rained on and they absorbed water. In November, days before we left the yard I finally made a new suite of cockpit cushions. Designed as four small cushions for each side I cleverly concealed a webbing hinge between each pair, allowing them to stay together but stack for easy storage. The hinge also allows us to fold them 90° and enjoy a back rest. They also make for a super comfy bunny pad on the bow for stargazing! I updated the colours and am happy with results. Here's hoping we get another decade our of these ones. #diy #sailrite #sunbrella #cushions #sewing #sailing #cockpit #labouroflove #yachting #liveaboard #yachtkate

Today our water tanks ran dry and the bay we are in is too full of silt to run the water maker. Fortunately I have access to a fresh water well close by, free of charge. The only thing I have to do is throw a bucket down the well and yank up the sweet stuff, 10L at a time. That gets dumped into the big green barrels where I can gravity feed it into my narrow mouthed jerry jugs and shower bags. Then I have to get each 22.5L jug into the dinghy, motor home and lift each jug from the dinghy onto the boat (while it blows around in a stiff breeze) where it gets siphoned into the tank. Today I ferried 120L of water, which will last me about 8-10 days for washing and cleaning, I get an additional 30L a week from a commerical source for drinking and cooking. The average Canadian uses 350L of water a day (just ahead of Aus 340L and behind the USA 385L). If everyone had to manhandle their resources like I did today, I bet they would take shorter showers. #mindfulliving #mindful #water #cleanwater #preciousresources #lifeonboard #pseudosinglehander #sailingchicksrock #womenwhosail #sailing #sailphilippines #yachtkate

Have you ever considered where your bowl of rice comes from and what it takes to grow? Have you ever wondered how many hands it has gone through, and what the lives of those people look like? Recently on the blog I talked about just that; the people, the environment, the process and the harsh beauty of rice. Read my photo essay "Scenes from the Philippine Rice Fields", link in profile. #mindfulliving #mindfuleating #rice #ricepaddy #philippines #travelphilippines #explorephilippines #getlostnow #travelph #travelphotography #yachtkate

We squeezed in one last sail for 2018. Dropping the mooring lines early in the morning we had a lovely beat to windward through the Calamian Islands lots. Variable winds, random fields of pearl buoys and some counter currents in the channel meant lots of tacks but it was nice to be moving under sail and working together. Here's hoping that what they say is true, and how we spent our NYE will be how we spend 2019; happy, together and sailing. #sailing #sailinglife #sailphilippines #newport41 #calamians #yachting #saltlife #nye #yachtkate

Christmas Eve Dinner, Christmas Day Lunch. Holidays on board are a marriage of traditions; northern hemisphere winters and southern hemisphere summers. We have a formal dinner on the 24th with all the trimmings (we can find), and a casual finger food lunch full of treats on Christmas day. For many of the past 10 years it has just been the 2 of us for the holidays but making an effort and keeping traditions makes it feel like we are surrounded by family and friends. (Also, I am a put the phone down at the dinner table kinda gal, so no picts of our delish dinner, sorry.) #traditions #holidaysonboard #holidaytraditions #mealsonboard #fbcigers #fbc #mindfulliving #mindfuleating #sailing #sailinglife #yachting #saltlife #galley #liveaboard #yachtkate

I have adapted so many recipes to "bake" on the stove top that I am not sure when was the last time I lit our oven. But, the holidays call for some traditional treats; the kind made with butter and eggs and a little too much sugar. A loaf of bread for dinner and a Lemon Coconut Cake was round one, followed by Gingersnaps with a pinch of Chinese 5 Spice and some orange zest. Xmas baking done. #bakingfromscratch #bakingonboard #newport41 #cfb #fbcigers #sailing #saltlife #sailinglife #liveaboard #holidaysonboard #christmas #yachtkate
