Danica Cowan, then 16, chronicled the family’s voyage in a series of articles published in the Rockland Courier-Gazette. These original articles and be found here. One thought on “ Koukla.

Living Aboard
http://blog.onewhitetree.ca/category/living-aboard
Sailing on One White Tree. Category Archives: Living Aboard. While I started out with great enthusiasm and determination in my quest to clean and divest the boat of any and all unnecessary items, I must admit the work has lost what little glamour it had in the beginning. I have, by now, opened up, sorted, cleaned, rearranged and tossed out, stuff in and from almost every locker on the boat. (I’m saving a few for Ross! Working on the Starboard Lockers. Easter Sunday I was invited to spend the Day with Ter...

Sightseeing and Exploring
http://blog.onewhitetree.ca/category/sightseeing-exploring
Sailing on One White Tree. Category Archives: Sightseeing and Exploring. I awake to the laughter of the Kookaburra. I like the call. It’s those other birds whose call. I find less than pleasing. At times I actually find it rather irritating. It is of course, their. Cry that most often dominates the avian airwaves. It makes me think of the noisy and often annoying CAW! While I was out for a walk a few days ago I saw two Cockatoos sitting in a tree. They’re wild! As we have travelled I have found myself in...

Sailing on One White Tree. Category Archives: Under Way. When You’re Caught by the Gale…. 8221; . . . and you’re full under sail, remember the dangers below. The song that you sing should not be too sad and be sure not to sing it too slow” (Gordon Lightfoot). We left Coffs Harbour Wednesday with a weather window which should have allowed us to make Port Stephens/Nelson Bay by late afternoon Thursday. The north winds did not materialize as predicted. Instead we saw very light winds most of Thursday...

http://sailmrmac.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
Cruising with Mr Mac. Cruising with Mr Mac. Tuesday, March 31, 2015. Beautiful snow-covered fields at Chase Farms as we return from checking out the sugar maples. Heading out to see the tapped trees. There was a bite in the air and snow on the ground, but it was nice and warm inside where they had lots of tasty maple treats for sale. Can you say “warm donut with maple icing”? Lots of buckets on the sugar maples. Plastic spigot used to collect the sap. Boiling the sap in the wood-fired evaporator.

Commercial Alert – Stuff We Like

Sailing on One White Tree. Category Archives: Commercial Alert – Stuff We Like. Yogurt – Yum! Yogurt. That was one thing I missed when our fridge stopped working on our passage from the Galapagos to the Marquesas. Had someone asked me prior to loosing the fridge what I would miss, that would certainly not have come to mind. Once we got it fixed I was anxious to add yogurt to our refrigerated provisions. Back on the boat, I looked up the brand online to see if I could find out whether or not it was worth ...

Passages on a Cruising Life. America’s First Undersea Park →. I Can’t Go 55. June 11, 2013. Carlos smiles despite the sludge. In our absence, condensation had formed on top of the diesel and had sunk to the bottom of the tank where it festered and brewed a concoction of water, sludge and crud that peeled off black chunks of gunk. When the chunks reached the pre-filters they choked off the fuel and the engines refused to start. The Racors filtered 70 liters of bad diesel. About Cheryl Crockett Lezovich.
