Greetings from San Juan Island, where orcas swim through harbors and dedicated Americans protest the bullshit happening under orange man. A month and a half has been filled with some adventures, close calls, and break through a breakthrough in eco tech. Just a short check-in!

Friday Harbor Summer
Back again, raw, unedited, and crabbed out just cooking fresh caught Dungeness. Some new stories, some reminiscing, and some big changes. The fun never stops around here even when fascism is on the rise and when it’s 80 degrees with no AC. Everyone is fine, no heat stroke here. We have fans.

High/low? Out
Well, we did it. We are officially out on anchor for the rest of the summer as much as we can be, starting with Blind Bay off of Shaw island. Time to reep the benefits of all the work that was done on this boat since February, and relish the silence that comes with being unattached to the marina. This is what we always planned on doing when we moved to Washington, and now we have begun. It sort of feels like the closing and beginning of a chapter. So what mow? What adventures will come next? It’s that mystery that keeps us excited and happy to see what’s creeping right around the corner.

Parrot Fish Over Billionaires
We are back after what felt like a lifetime's worth of projects on the boat. Our country is in the compost toilet. Pixy likes to say “bless you” when we sneeze. It’s rocky as hell out in our new slip. Parrot Fish and per Alice Ward’s podcast Julien from Nature Jab are going to save the world, along with Chris Valenti. We will get through these people and the orcas will help us if we help them! Listen and find out why.

Faith, Trust, and Pixy Dust
To get through the day in this socioeconomic climate, all you need is a little faith, trust in yourself, and a cat! We now have a third crew mate aboard Iolar, alocrewmateetting projects done, protesting, and adopting Pixy. We have her, and we are tired, but we are still here living the dream. Take a listen!
If you have a passion for adventure, a dark sense of humor, and a curiosity for the world beyond our own, you are in the right place. Join us as we succeed, and fail, and succeed again, on our journeys with Iolar in the Salish Sea, days at the public market, and us just trying to not die while crossing the street. We are just two people who we ourselves don’t particularly find all that inspirational, but apparently we are just by leaving our house, let alone taking a boat out to the middle of an ocean. We try our very best to have an eco-friendly lifestyle and contribute where we can
