Sailing Zoe

Happy (belated) New Year from the SV Zoe (Waiheke Circumnavigators) crew! 🍾🥂 Cody dusted off the drone cobwebs for this one. 🚁📸

BIG thanks to Henry, our personal dog model. Hoping many more weekends like this are to come this summer! ⛵️❤️ We haven’t been out in over 6 months and had missed it SO much!

We always love a good RAFT UP! Celebrated Easter and a very special engagement with our NZ fam again this year. This time little Zoe was outside of the belly instead of inside which was much more fun! To end the trip with a bang, mama threw her back out while wakeboarding behind a tender 😂😭! Just shows the importance of taking care of yourself after having a baby… and just in general! Can’t do most fun things in life without getting hurt if you don’t have a strong core. It’s time to prioritize health and fitness and become strong again. 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼✌🏼

Happy Easter from our wee family to yours! 🐰🐣⛵️

Can you see the floor?! Why does provisioning for THREE DAYS always feel like we are going away for A MONTH?! Went a wee bit overboard for this Easter holiday but not regretting it one bit!

Finally back on Big Zoe and putting up a lee cloth for Little Zoe’s new berth! She’s outgrown the co-sleeper we used back in January and is upgrading to the couch in our forward cabin. Lucky girl!! Excited to take her and friends out over Easter! 🐰🐣💕

Hey sailing friends! We've been busy growing a human over the past 9 months but it's about time for an update as we only have 1 week left until our due date!!

After a long mental and physical transformation, we've finally made it to a place of happiness with bringing a tiny human into the world. Trust us, the last 39 weeks weren't always this nice looking! Truth is, this was such a hard transition and it took us close to 2 years to be this content and genuinely happy with starting this new chapter of our lives.

It's about to be summertime in NZ so we plan on taking our new little addition out sailing with us. We know our sailing adventures are going to look A LOT different this time around but we are up for the challenge! Can't wait to start sharing how life is with a baby on board and how this new chapter of life looks as a family of 3!

Thank you ❤️

We went on an unforgettable hike in Whangaroa before leaving to the South Island that we forgot to share! The grass was greener than the greenest of green greens and we found a fresh water pond to jump into in the middle of an 8k hike! 🌱💦 Freezing but OH SO refreshing! The next morning we sailed up to Mangonui and then went around the tip of the North Island and all the way to Marlborough Sounds. Wonderful times we don't want to forget! 📝 @ Whangaroa

MEEEERRY CHRISTMAS from our KIWI family to yours!!

and their families graciously adopted us as one of their own this Christmas! This is our second Christmas here in a row and we are so thankful to have a place we can call our home away from home.

Still missing our parents, family, and friends back in the states of course, but thankful everyone is healthy and staying safe in this veryyy strange time in life.

First overnight sail in a year begins NOW! 3-4 days to the South Island with little to no wind on our nose... We really know how to pick fantastic weather windows! 😜
