I'm a technology nerd that loves playing piano, playing with new electronics, being on the water, and solving new problems.
Going ashore can be challenging in places with large tidal swings and rocky shorelines. An anchor buddy with some modifications can make this process much easier.
After testing the Mantus M3 chain hook for a few months, I’m impressed by its solid build and usability.
2024 was an epic year - 3000 miles, my favorite anchorage ever in the Central Coast of British Columbia, northern lights, and more.
Staying connected while living aboard full time requires a high quality internet router, Starlink, and cellular connections all configured and optimized for Teams and Zoom.
We bought a 50' 2003 Kristen Yachts steel pilot house trawler in late 2023. She is an amazing ship with tons of cool systems and a relaxing interior.
I did over 2800 nautical miles and 370 hours underway this year on Kaos all around the Salish Sea, mostly in Canada.
The Loch Capsule dishwasher is great for a boat - low water and power usage, quick cycle time, and fits full size plates without compromises
I wanted to provide a better spot to mount my Starlink, GPS and wind instrument, as well as improve the anchor and steaming lights.
Using a remote WiFi network as a source of internet on your boat is useful, but know the limitations of the devices and features available to you.
I've been using Kaos' new Victron LiFePO4 electrical system for 14 months now and have some performance, changes, and updates to share.
Victron provides amazing visibility into your electrical system, but GuiMods takes it to the next level with tons more data and usability.
Starlink has released a flat, high-performance dish that can be used in-motion and comes with a wedge mount that may work well on your boat.
