Embark Friday afternoon, sail across the Strait of Juan de Fuca to the San Juan Islands. Anchor in a quiet bay and enjoy nice meal. In the morning, we weigh anchor and go to discover so many of the options available in the islands. We could do a stop in Friday harbor, walk the town, grab lunch at a local brewery or over-water restaurant. Then sail up to Roche Harbor or Garrison Bay, grab some ice cream or local fresh seafood. Then on Sunday, work our way back to John Wayne Marina to disembark.

Stimulus Detox Experience

$1,150.00

Are you tired of running from one thing to the next? Do you feel like your life is on rails? What quality of decisions would you make if you could just stop long enough to think?

Maybe you need a stimulus detox.

New Adventures Sailing offers an exclusive 4-7 day detox experience.

Start with a ferry ride, we’ll pick you up and take you for a home cooked meal, a 1 hour massage with a nationally certified massage therapist. Then you arrive at the sailing yacht Redemption where you will spend the night aboard in your private cabin. We'll leave for a nearby anchorage for a good night sleep. No technology, we’ll gladly hold your phones or place them in airplane mode. They make good cameras. No social media, news or other external stimulus. We may offer Mocktails or tea for a relaxing evening.

We depart in the morning for the San Juan Islands 25-35 miles across the Strait of Juan de Fuca and arrive a peaceful anchorage on San Juan or Shaw Island.

Since this is a detox, we encourage walks in the woods, paddle boarding or maybe a cold-plunge in the 55 degree Salish Sea. Then warm up and read a book, or just chat about life.

We can arrange whale watching excursions baed in Friday or Roche Harbors via kayak or tour boat.

Sample locally sourced seafood, coffee, ice cream and stroll through small towns along the waterfront.

Maybe even take a nap in a hammock slowly rocking at anchor.

This will be a sober experience, no alcohol needed. We encourage journaling and time to take inventory of your life and opportunities.

Ready to reset? Sail on Redemption.

Add to cart qty = the number of days you want, 4 day minimum.

Price per cabin per day, one couple max for privacy.

Today we took all of the stuff we brought to make this a home. Lynette was the star who made order out of chaos. Then we went for a sail to ensure everything stays put. 'Ship shape' means you can get under way and have everything you need. She is ship shape. We were in building winds today on the San Francisco Bay started 12-14 kts and built to 18-20 with gusts to 22kts. We put in a reef and sailed at 8.3kts very comfortably. Tim also setup the Monitor wind vane to test how that works. It was amazing, We did not have to touch the helm until we needed to course change. That is the only way to fly when you're doing longer passages. Click the pics in the gallery.

Days 3-4

Day 3

8/27-8/28/2016 - Redding, CA

These are the days of frustration! Imagine choosing what you would need to live for a year for all 4 seasons, different adventures, making repairs and mending, decorating (if you can call it that), and on, and on it goes. What dresses do I take? What shoes? Ask this for everything and you get the idea! I’ve managed to successfully pack our clothes so that they are already rolled and in their little bins that will go on our V-berth shelves. This was a major accomplishment for me! I had Tim’s opinion on my dress choices and all in all I think the hangers amount to about 8 inches which will fit easily into our hanging locker with room for Tim’s hanging stack.

I’ve made additional trips to different stores to purchase items for our land house and sea house. The bedrooms are all ready and all the additional items are bagged up to go or put into storage somewhere in the land house. Clothing and toiletries were conquered on Day 3.

Day 4 has been spent cleaning out the pantries and making space for those who will be using them in the future at the land house. Imagine reworking/organizing half your kitchen, then purchasing items to separate the spaces. The vitamin/supplements/drug shelf was conquered and unneeded items bagged and stored. The freezer and refrigerator needed a complete rework as well. It REALLY feels like moving! I was hoping that it wouldn’t feel this way!

The front garden was also brought up to ready to leave behind today. The young grape vines have all been tended and tamed, the catalpa tree pruned up so you can walk under it again, the weeds removed and the walkways blown clean. A few additional drip lines were installed and all is ready for maintenance mode once again.

My feelings and emotions have been in so many places. The frustration of making so many choices, the thoughts of leaving the land house and some of things I wanted to accomplish as a general love for my home undone, to making decisions about other items to take and looking into my memory as where they will be stored on the boat (for example my sewing machine). There remains my feelings of sadness over spending 8 years earning and clearing my teaching credential and not being in the classroom this year. There are feelings questioning if I am any good at teaching anyway. These feelings must be normal for teachers who do not make tenure or fail to have contracts renewed.

I envision myself doing an onboard classroom that merges all the science subjects together as Tim and I make our daily plans and live our daily life on the sea. A sort of vicarious voyage for others to take with us. My mind has been so overloaded with preparations and decisions that the onboard classroom idea is parked. There will be time for it very soon, once we have left and actually hit the sea! Onward ho!

Tim & Lynette Jenné have their feet firmly planted in midair. We don't know what tomorrow brings, but are very excited to see what surprises come our way. Tim's favorite leadership quote:
"If you want to build a ship, don't drum up people to collect wood and don't assign them tasks and work, but rather teach them to long for the endless immensity of the sea." Antoine de Saint-Exupery

Captain John Jenne (1596 - 1643), son of Henry Jenne and Mary Smythe, was born 21 December 1596 at Lakenham Parish, Norfolk, England; He married Sarah Carey. They emigrated to the Colonies from Leyden in 1623 aboard the Little James, accompanied by the ship Anne. Their daughter Sarah was born 23 July 1623, at sea.
