On this week's episode of Onboard Lifestyle, we settle into this amazing cruising community of nomads. Even with our Vagabond lifestyle, there is a semblance of order and organized activities. Emma is finding herself surrounded by other cruising kids and they set out to explore Tenacatita Bay as we also celebrate the Lunar New Years cruisers style. Come back next week to see if we can make ourselves leave this beautiful bay for the next Port...see you then! XO

tree line shore the approach by boat is
5:01
breathtaking
5:02

5:06
the two to three foot waves breaking
5:08
over the transom and was immediately

we were in richmond california
12:38
and we had saw this beautiful mega yacht
12:41
sailing yacht
12:42
that was right across from us the kaori
12:46
the sailing yacht kaori is a 38 meter
12:49
125 foot well-proportioned aluminum
12:52
luxury yacht she was built by palmer
12:54
johnson and officially launched in
12:56
sturgeon bay wisconsin in 1992 with her
13:00
8.6 meter
13:01
28.2 foot beam chaori has a spacious
13:05
interior plan
13:07
in 2009 she underwent a masterful refit
13:10
where her aluminum masks were replaced
13:12
with the state-of-the-art carbon fiber
13:14
spars within boom furling it allowed for
13:17
the use of battens to increase the sail
13:19
area and improve sail shape
13:22
the way save the loft transformed the
13:24
already stiff yacht into a sailing
13:26
powerhouse
