In early September 2019 we were boat-less, once again, land dwellers, gainfully employed like all respectful souls ought to be. Life is good! BUT, Karin and I started talking about the “next” boat. This is very dangerous and precarious downhill slippery slope. It wasn’t too long before we identified what we wanted: […]
Karin and I want to extend a hearty “thank you” to Calibre Yacht Sales (Rob Ksyniuk) for conducting the sale of Mayaluga in such an efficient and professional manner. Having bought and sold many boats in past years, this was such a refreshing exercise. We are delighted that Mayaluga has gone to such a good […]
Our last cruise on Mayaluga was absolutely idyllic. Tony single-handed in a lesurely fashion taking almost a full week to get from Victoria to Comox. The highlight for him on the transit was a couple of wonderful days in Tribune Bay on Hornby Island. Karin took a week off from the office and drove up […]
1978-2018 HANS CHRISTIAN 38T “MAYALUGA” $189,500 CDN (Picture gallery at foot of post – click pics for high resolution) This outstanding vessel is truly offshore ready. Many are advertised as “offshore ready”, but Mayaluga is truly offshore-turnkey. Provision her, step aboard and go! Rebuilt from the ground up, the recent professional survey states: ……. in […]
(Please click pics for high resolution view) Our last leg from Hawaii and home – only 3,000 nautical miles! We reluctantly say our goodbyes to warm weather and Waikiki Beach just a 10 minute stroll from our slip at the Hawaii Yacht Club, Ali-Wai Harbour, Oahu. […]
It is so long since we have posted a blog that I am not sure where to begin. It seems that every waking minute is accounted for by some task that needs attention. Some wise person defined the cruising-lifestyle as “boat maintenance in exotic places”. Too true! Too true! We changed our landfall in […]
We have internet!! That means we can post some pictures! Friends, Richard Krieger from Victoria BC, and Cliff Brown from London ON, fly to Tahiti to join us on board Mayaluga for 10 unforgettable days in the Tahiti Leeward Islands. Papeete market where local […]
My owners renamed me Mayaluga in 2016 (yet another interesting story!) when they committed to sail me to the South Pacific. I was a lowly liveaboard for more years than I care to tell you. In 2013 everything changed when Tony and Karin brought me to Victoria, BC and started outfitting me for their big […]
Well, here we are, sitting in the Marina in Papeete, Tahiti, listing all the myriad things that need to be attended to on Mayaluga before we depart in days, weather window permitting. We had flirted with the idea of leaving Mayaluga in French Polynesia for 8 months and coming home, then spending another sailing season […]
we are enjoying the most incredible experiences in Tahiti and the Society Islands! Our friend Cliff from Ontario, and Richard from Victoria flew in to join us for two weeks in the islands. We enjoyed spending a few days in Papeete, Tahiti, and then sailed the couple of hundred miles downwind to Huahine. Another amazing […]
