Ahoy,
We finally left the Boatyard. It was so hot we couldn't work on the boat any more. Fay had to leave for Germany soon to finish her studies and we wanted to spend some premium time without the stress and tension of the boatyard. So we embarked on a journey into the unknown..

First stop was Kevin's place in San Juanico. We met him in the yard and helped each other with our projects, but he left a while ago and now we followed.
We did not plan any further and decided to see what the universe has to offer. And it offered us a beautiful RV. We found it on ebay but couldn't check it before the auction finished, took our chances and trusted the description. Which actually turned out to be the right choice..

join us on our roadtrip into the unknown, from one friend to another along some of the most beautiful places in America.

Aloha
fay + christian

smallest airplane we've ever been

here 12 seats

nice now we're on our way to loretto

to see a friend we made in the boat yet

it's getting so hot here in in wyoming

that we decided

to leave to go just go away do a little

bit

the last couple days we'll definitely

prove that it's a right decision

oh yeah it's getting harder every day

which is the worst the cats

but it's a short flight we only go up to

7000 feet

and hopefully everything's good fingers

crossed

summer was coming and we needed an

escape plan

so we embarked on a journey into the

unknown

packed a few things grabbed the cat and

jumped on a plane

that's how a drunken pirate walks

first stop was a friend's place in baja

california

what's going on we met kevin here in the

yard and couldn't resist the invite

to his place kevin left the yard a few

months ago already

and sailed his beautiful catamaran

through the sea of cortez

around lands and in kabul and up the

pacific coast to san juanito

it surfaced mecca

we took his badass customized fj and his

dog

on a tour along the coast and if you

ever heard

anything about fj's then you know there

is

no need for roads

[Music]

just driving around with no particular

destination

enjoying the beauty of the desert let us

quickly forget what we left behind

scorpion bay is pretty much untouched

and the further we drove

the more we felt like the only people

left on planet earth

compared to wyman's the weather was

rather warm than hot

so a huge improvement already

we drifted through the day and explored

the beach and desert with all its

beautiful treasures

[Music]

we stayed a few weeks lived with a san

juanico flow of pickleball

surfing and beach time tried to let go

of the stress

and tension of the boat yard and thought

about our next destination

we bought an old motorhome on ebay

packed our bags

grabbed the cat and flew to california

the rv was listed as a charity auction

on ebay

because we were hanging out on the beach

there was no way to check it out so we

trusted the description and hoped for

the best

well there's a black widow so here we

are at a friend's house

matt from sailing with vampires we just

got that

nice rig and we're going to check his

knowledge of car mechanics

way bigger than mine sums up everything

looks good for now

it's leaking just because things are

loose vibration

vibration yeah especially these fords

man they love the living room

i think you're fine the block looks good

i think you're fine christian you did

good like old bolts

old motor homes need attention but we

only had to fix the brakes

the steering and we're totally lucky

that all the systems were working

just fine we fixed what we needed

cleaned it

and hit the road thanks to matt and judy

it took us

just a few days

mega beast is a 24 feet mini winnie

built in 1989

based on a ford e350 with a reliable

but thirsty ford 460 motor

it was all we needed

[Music]

rving is pretty much like boating you

live in a limited space

and you carry your house with you

but there's one big difference

you can take your home into the

mountains we were heading to the grand

canyon

but didn't want to miss all the

beautiful places in between

like the national parks in california

we stopped on the road in national parks

hiked

awesome trails and showed the cat that

there is

more in life despite a dusty boat yard

[Music]

we lived into the days decided

spontaneously where to go next

and breath in the fresh air of the

mountain and forests

for the first time in so long he felt

free again

that's the simplicity of

[Music]

let's get it life take my hand just

follow me

oh i'll never get tired

[Applause]

[Music]

[Music]

so

[Music]

down in phoenix the brutal heat took its

toll

and we all came to our limits with

temperatures

exceeding 115 degrees

it was 4th of july everything was closed

we needed to wait for the night to start

the long climb

to flagstaff but patch started

hyperventilating

and needed to cool down immediately so

we sneaked into an rv car

to plug in and that's

80 degree in the fridge yeah that's a

[Music]

quick

in flagstaff we visited other boat yard

frames

seven thousand feet high temperatures

were

way better and heidi showed us around

it's a lovely little town full of

history

and we dove into flagship's nightlife

we knew the famous pictures of the red

mountains for

many years and finally were able to

experience them ourselves

sedona is a jam and we climbed up to

cathedral rock

views absolutely amazing and we felt so

small next to the huge mound

and the vast scenery it's

almost like you're on another planet

[Music]

[Music]

it's super hot outside but

i gotta cut myself down with some icing

[Music]

you know what's even better than hiking

biking thanks to heidi's badass downhill

bikes we were able to choose the lonely

route

[Music]

going downhill on this empty trail was

happening

the further we went the less the trail

became

and our fear slowly gripping it to meet

a bear

or a mouth line and turn into a snack

it was an amazing experience only

downturn was the way up

but we knew that before

[Music]

cold beer

[Music]

on the ocean far away from home

it's just me and my boat
