Welcome to this week’s casual kōrero thread!

This post will be pinned in this community so you can always find it, and will stay for about a week until replaced by the next one.

It’s for talking about anything that might not justify a full post. For example:

  • Something interesting that happened to you
  • Something humourous that happened to you
  • Something frustrating that happened to you
  • A quick question
  • A request for recommendations
  • Pictures of your pet
  • A picture of a cloud that kind of looks like an elephant
  • Anything else, there are no rules (except the rule)

So how’s it going?

Yep east coast USA again. Heading to the Bahamas. Given the boat a good shake down over the past year so goal is to go through the Panama Canal early next year and start working our way across the Pacific. Lots of planning involved!

Wow, that's amazing! Must be pretty cool and/or scary to be going through the canal alongside giant oil tankers.

Been anywhere good over the last year? Just up and down the east coast or have you been elsewhere?

Yeah I’ve read accounts of it and I’m definitely a bit nervous! It’ll be an experience to remember for sure! Just up and down the East coast on my boat. I sailed to Bermuda on a different boat. That was a really cool place! Anchored beside the Statue of Liberty in my boat, which is something I never thought I would do!

Very cool! Good luck on your trip, don't forget to let us know how it goes!
