A 1969 Aluminum Trawler, a DIY Refit and Adventures Off the Beaten Path

and it's ALL on YOUTUBE!

We live full-time aboard Tangaroa, our 55-year-old aluminum trawler, tackling a DIY refit and setting out to explore places most people skip. As a couple of ex-yachties, we're back on the water—sharing real stories from the rebuild and the road less traveled, one anchorage, character, and curiosity at a time.
