Day 2 – Pensacola Beach Morning from Pensacola Beach My mom had just flown from Edmonton, Alberta and I knew that she was hoping to see the beach and ocean, so I planned for our first stop to be Pensacola Beach. After a long day starting at 6 am in Key West, loading the truck in Stuart, and then driving… Read more →
Hey friends, it has been a while since my last post, but here is a video of me performing one of my songs for Bahai Blog – Studio Sessions. Back in January before I left Key West I had a friend (Kyle Schmalenberg) visiting who was filming for Bahai Blog. He asked to record a song for the Studio Sessions… Read more →
On Tuesday June 14 we weighed anchor from Providencia at 7:50 am and we were rounding the sea buoy by 8:15 to begin our 260 mile final leg of the sail to Colon, Panama. By the end of the first full day the seas had calmed significantly as well as the wind. Through the night we sailed passed all the lightning… Read more →
Captain and I weighed anchor in Venice, Florida in the mid afternoon of Thursday, May 12. Our next stop was set to be Cabo San Antonio in Cuba. The crossing of the Gulf Stream from Venice, passed the Dry Tortugas (painfully close to Romi in Key West) was actually pretty uneventful. The only thing to note was how extremely calm the… Read more →
Monday, May 9 we lifted anchor from St. Pete and made our way (motoring due to low headwinds) down the Florida west coast to Venice. I stayed up at the helm while the Captain was able to get a bunch of things done around the boat. Then just 4.77 nm out from the Venice Inlet our engine light went on. It… Read more →
I arrived at the airport in New Orleans late in the evening on April 28, 2016. Walking into baggage claim I saw the Captain there waiting to greet me. We got my bags and headed straight to the boat. I don’t really know what New Orleans is like and I didn’t really get to see it either since it was so… Read more →
Message from the Vagabond: Well I am currently on the boat in Florida, about to set sail to Panama, via Cuba and Providencia. I am in the process of working on a few projects for all of you, but without the proper equipment it hasn’t been easy. While in the United States I was able to use the constant resources… Read more →
In the evening of April 16th Gustaff and I arrived in Grand Junction, Colorado for our first stop in the final State of our 82 day music road trip across the United States. We had planned to stay 2 days and performing just one show, but our hosts convinced us to spend one more night so that we could perform “one”… Read more →
On April 11th Gustaff, my parents, and I set off on a long drive towards Livingston, Montana. The speed limit was high and the roads were winding. We made a few stops for some wonderful views and a lot of pee breaks (we were well hydrated), and this caused us to spend a lot of time driving after daylight. We… Read more →
Not having Romi with me was and still is an adjustment, but life must continue and there is just so much to be grateful for. On our way to Portland, Oregon Gustaff and I decided to hop off the I-5 and get over to Hwy 101. The only road we found was Hwy 36 through a thick forest. It was such… Read more →
