Wow, 30 days at sea without seeing land was certainly an experience I thought I would never have. As we set sail on the Pacific it was a bit chilly at nights but a welcome break from the heat and humidity in Panama. The trip was full of marine life including whales, turtles, dolphins and lots of flying fish. We caught several Dorado and had some nice bluefin Tuna steaks and sashimi. The weather and seas were quite variable and we were fortunate to pick up a spinnaker in Panama to help us along. Provisions got low forcing more creativity with the meals which resulted in some fabulous fish curry dishes. Tahiti has been quite wet as it is the rainy season but nonetheless it has been a welcome break on land. We are heading off to Rorotonga and then Fiji. More updates to come when I am back in the states.
A special thanks to Mike and Brett at Praxis Universal who have been an incredible support system for me and to my parents for their love, support and patience.

Pleased to see you made a safe crossing! Keep living and sharing your dreams!
Thanks for sharing the link to Zac photos. So, so happy your work is getting published more widely. While "Choppy" (understated title) remains jaw-dropping favorite, "Dropping Anchor in Grenada" looks like a book cover to me! All great work!
Enjoy the South Pacific islands!
Good to hear from you Jen. Thanks for the post and the pic. I was so surprised when my Coastal Living arrived and there you guys were. Wonderful surprise.
Really want to see all of your "Chasing Zac" photos in a published book. You are a great photographer and adventurer. Looking forward to more.
