Asian Brussel soba bowl for the win! #sobabowl #soba #brusselsprouts #veganbowls #veganbowl #flexitarian

So I have a kinda weird rig, a stayless mast. It’s huge! And leaks have been a problem. So I sewed up a waterproof boot. It even has a waterproof zipper. #huntersailboats #huntervision36 #isewedthat #sailinglife #necchibu #riggingtape #sailboatrefit

All repaired, wrapped up, and ready to go back up! Feels pretty good actually FINISHING a project for a change. #uksailmakers #sailrepair #sailinglife #huntersailboats #huntervision36

Tom Yum! Didn’t know you could make this at home, did ya? I mean, what else are you going to do with leftover galangle and lemon grass, right?

Hellooooo fellow humans! #derp #derpycat #derpyhuman

Our hotel in Green Bay is so fancy it came with a champagne shelf in the shower.

You can search long and hard and not find a better sailing sewing machine than a vintage #necchi. This machine goes through six layers of sailcloth like butter. Big thanks to #sailrite for the sail cloth and thread! So many folks have noted that thread is the first to go so getting the right stuff matters! #sailrepair #vintagesewingmachine #necchibu #necchimira #huntervision36 #huntersailboats #sailinglife

How can a branch hold so much snow?!?

Survival curry for the win! #thaicurry #currylovers #survivalcurry #tomyumkung

Bento box MADNESS. Why is it so huge?!? #bentobox #greenbaywisconsin

Last fall I busted my headsail in a squall. Didn’t notice the storm until I saw the water change colors a few feet from the boat. WHAM! Boat was heeled over with full sails out. Lost control. Ripped the headsail and part of the mainsail. Lessons learned for sure. Weather on The Great Lakes is no joke. As for the headsail, now it’s time for repair! This is the third time this has been repaired I believe as it has already been repaired once. Makes me feel better knowing I’m not the only one screwing up out there. #sailrite #sailrepair #sailinglife #sailingmke #mkesailing #huntersailboats #huntervision36 #S/VHenrietta #necchibu #necchisewingmachine

What are y’all eating for breakfast these days? I stared at spinach in the fridge but couldn’t quite push myself to choose that over a frozen hash brown. #breakfast #morningritual #morningrituals #collectivocoffee #collectivo #hashbrowns

Hello from Green Bay, Wisconsin! Been a very long time since @julieewald and I have been on a road trip. It’s good to escape the apartment for a change. #wisconsin #winter #roadtrip

Quite the gradient out tonight. #mke #mkelife #gradients
