Cape Scott
You may have heard of the Baja Bash. That’s where people who’ve sailed down the Baja coast for the winter, turn around and bash their way back north into the prevailing winds and swell. We’ve now discovered the BC bash. From Campbell River all the way to the northern end of Vancouver Island, the trip… Continue reading

North Bound
We left Sidney on the 21st, after finally replacing the genoa turning blocks. Off and on sailing to Nanaimo with a stop over for two nights… so far uneventful. Our next stop was Tribune Bay where we thought we’d spend the night. Not so. We dropped the hook, had a beer, and I jumped in… Continue reading

Home Sweet Home
Time is slipping away fast. A week ago we were putting all of our belongings into a PODs pod on our driveway to be stored. That was stressful! Ended up having two storage units and still had to give things away:( Monday June 26th 2020 Rob and I moved everthing we both needed onto our… Continue reading

Friday June 27th Twice
Km 1369- 62 km today (todays?) This was a very long day! We were all packed up with time to spare before heading to the Frankfurt airport, the hunt was on for our last chocolate filled pastry. The town was so small, there didn’t appear to be a bakery! The hunt was still on. Exploring… Continue reading

Back to Frankfurt
Km 1307- 59km today We rode up the river Main to a hotel near the airport today. We had thought perhaps we would just ride to the airport from Mainz on Friday morning, since it was only about 25 km as the crow flies. We’re so glad we left today, it turned out to be… Continue reading

Near the end of the trail 🙁
Km 1248- 35km today We are spending the night in a campsite across the Rhine from the city of Mainz. The walk is about 2 1/2 km to the main tourist area, or about 1/2 km swim directly across the river. It’s a nice view of the city as the sun goes down, sitting here… Continue reading

The Last Of The Rhine Gorge
Km 1213- 37km today. Last night I’m not sure if we were in a seniors resort, or a regular campsite. I’m sure they all thought of us as the kids on the bikes. We were camped across a previously treacherous section of the river from the Loreley Rock where the maiden used to lure sailors… Continue reading

Taking Our Time
Km 1176- 41km today It has been fun just poking our noses in the little towns. Having a pastry or a petite beer in the afternoon. It does feel weird to pace our selves so we don’t ride to fare each day. We don’t want to end up to close to Frankfurt before Friday. It… Continue reading

Fun Riding With The Wind
Km 1135- 61 km today. There’s are a lot of weekend tourists in this part of Germany. It is our first experience of this area on a weekend. We have had to change our riding pattern a little. Lots of novice riders that are very young. I love how many families are enjoying there time… Continue reading

Change of plans 🙂
Km 1074- 14 km today Now for something completely different. After input from various sources we decided to make a change. Today we took the trains, all 4 of them, from Speyer to Bonn. Well, not exactly. We bought tickets to Cologne, but after talking to a woman on the train we opted to get… Continue reading
