The next few days we visited Lahaina (again!) and then went pack to Kanapali for a few nights. The beach here is fantastically fun as it is super steep right into the water. When everyone had their fill of beaches we headed up to Honolua Bay. The bay is a nature preserve and a, Read More
The next day was intense. We left as soon as Fynn woke up to walk to the laundry mat. We only had enough money to wash so we lugged the damp clothes back to dry on the lifelines. On route to Asunto we stopped by Yare for breakfast cake – the second and final, Read More
As McGregors wasn’t a favourite the first time around we certainly weren’t interested in staying any longer the next morning. So first thing we headed up to Kaanapali, which had come highly recommend to us. We loved it and couldn’t figure out why it wasn’t in the guidebook. We anchored in sand in the, Read More
Feeling like we were about done with Lahaina (and spending money!) it was time to head towards the snorkelling haven of Molokini. It certainly lived up to it’s reputation! We also completely lucked out and had the bay to ourselves. As we approached the bay I started looking for a mooring ball to tie, Read More
Wowsers, what to say! Hawaii feels like a total blur and some weird combination of cruising and vacation. Somedays feel like pure vacation, like when we rented a car on Oa’hu, other days feel like super hard cruising. Adapting to cruising here with our newborn, Bowen, has been an interesting ride. There were certainly, Read More

Asunto dropped anchor outside Honolulu harbour at 4:15 am local time. Passage complete!
We are getting down to the nitty gritty at this point. Just at noon today we were able to zoom in enough on the chart plotter to actually see some depth contours! We also heard some radio chatter this morning as we approach Molokai and Oahu Islands. Since we have been running down wind, Read More
I’m really starting to get self conscious about posting about all the things that are going wrong on board but here we go… Last night on my 9pm – 12am shift I was hand steering as we were wing on wing and accidentally back winded the main and before I could get things sorted out we, Read More
A pretty uneventful day especially for what we’ve had over the past couple of days. The winds petered out about 3 amand we ended up motoring until noon. I am still running on the main tanks with 170 L in jerry cans we can top up if need be. I figure we will run as, Read More
