A few weekends ago we spent time relaxing on two different beaches. One, watching my brother and his friends surf and the other because the surf had crapped out and we wanted to soak up some of the last of the sunny, warm weather, before autumn’s arrival!

We haven’t been up to much of anything. Sitting in a Marina, making transmission repair plans, thinking about exploring again. Changing our mindset of this time we are stuck in a Marina. To instead think of it as an easy time. We are tied up so we don’t have the anchored worries, we have easy access to land all the time, we are plugged into power, and have constant access to fresh drinking water. So we are choosing to think of this as a time of easier living. Try to focus on our health instead of our worries because, though the worries exist, the are much reduced, compared to life on the move!

So, some flashback sunny beach photos - it’s not the beautiful Bahamas but it was a relaxing day! Real time, it’s been cloudy and rainy for about a week.

Remember there is more than what you see on Instag

Remember there is more than what you see on Instagram happening in real life! This is a lovely photo, taken in a very horrible, stormy, unsuccessful sailing trip. We were trying to go from New Smyrna, Florida to Wilmington, North Carolina.

We ended up in Georgetown, South Carolina. With engine issues. Exhausted. Beat up. Boat a theoretical wreck (not actually wrecked). Soaked to the bone (regularly).

But it’s a nice photo.

This is a #latergram this was not a recent trip. Though, the engine issues are still very real, just like the pictures.

We are MONTHS behind (on YouTube) but, live today, is the painting of the mural on the bottom of our boat!

Please go watch and give the video some love!

Update from Brady, Carlie and SV Valinor:
We travelled north for hurricane season but our transmission has started giving us trouble so we are hunkered down at a marina for the time being and sorting out our maintenance issues. It’s not exciting stuff so we haven’t shared much recently. However, Carlie is working hard on getting a bunch of videos live on YouTube so check those out for new Happy Go Londons content. Cheers!

Looking forward to returning to the Bahamas...

Brady has been on Valinor solo for a month. I finally made it back a couple days ago. But we are both thankful he was with friends for most of that time - keeping him sane and safety in numbers!

Thanks @sailingslowmocean & @thefosterjourney

Foggy, solo day up the ICW. This was about two weeks ago. We haven’t seen fog like this since hiking on the Appalachian Trail.

Took some fun photos of the forming storm clouds before they took over the sky, surrounded us, and ruined what started as an amazing multi-day trip.

It got very rough, things broke, and we have been recovering.

This was last week.

When you do a multi-day sail, you sleep in shifts.

When you do a multi-day sail, you sleep in shifts. Little bursts, to keep you going. Especially when it is just two of you. This was before the storms rolled in and it got crazy and neither of us slept again...

Sleeping in the cockpit means you are right there if the person on shift needs any assistance!
