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.

8/26/2016- Redding, CA

Yesterday we spent cleaning the boat. Tim cleaned the outside and I cleaned the inside. Tim had the opportunity to replace the joker valve in the head (toilet). It's a really important valve that keeps the crap from coming back into the head from the holding tank. Then we worked together to reattach the Monitor Wind Steering Vane to the boat. In order to do this Tim had to turn the boat around so the stern was first into the slip. This vessel has a special prop that eliminates prop walk, so this was indeed a challenge. We agreed that I would stay on the dock to handle the lines and fend off as Tim pulled her out and turned her around and backed in. So easily said! With a little bit of wind, some current and learning the new steering proved a big learning experience for Tim that brought big grins once we had her in place. 

In order to complete this task without losing any parts or tools into the water, we rigged up a lightweight trap into a bib for the back of the boat that went under the stern and spread out onto the dock. We completed the task after tying the apparatus to a halyard and raising it up so we could place the bolts. With all tools on lanyards we made quick work to reattaching the wind steering vane. Once we put away all the tools and removed the bib, Tim pulled her out of the slip, made a quick turn and was back again and we tied her off. Job done! 

We tidied up the boat inside and left many piles unstowed until we can purchase the right storage solutions. We headed back to Redding to get another load and hopefully all the storage items to be able to have the smooth order in our new home I enjoy having.

On the way home Tim remembered leaving a sea cock open on the head that had been closed. This created stress in our minds as our ASA schools stressed leaving them closed anytime you leave. We spent some time in the worry mode: could our boat sink before we even had our own sail on it? Surely not? We have decided that the chances are low that it would or could actually happen in this situation. 

Home again, we have made plans to return to the boat in just a few days to give ourselves several days to finish cleaning, stow everything else we think will move us in and then sail! Sail around the San Fransisco Bay to learn the boat, and spend some quality time driving the boat with motor alone. We must leave the marina where New Adventures is currently dockside before September 24th.


Tim and I keep asking ourselves, is this for real? Yep, it is! It just seems hard to believe!

Ship’s Log

Day 1

8/25/2016- Alameda, CA

Yesterday we completed all the paperwork and closed on our boat and the new name of this vessel is New Adventures. The whole process has been very easy to complete. Now that all is said and done a load of questions comes forth as we now work to figure out our new boat.

I spent yesterday evening cleaning the forepeak with simple green which did a beautiful job on the headliner and wood. The smell is improving on the boat, which did smell quite like a boat. I’ve taken measurements for maximizing the space with simple organization so we are not fighting to find or get the items we need. There is quite a lot of room in the v-berth, it became apparent the our fitted sheet will not work as its as big as a king sized at the entry point aft. No problem there, all I have to use is another flat sheet. 

I did not sleep as well as I would have preferred. Somehow Tim always finds the dark side of the bed in hotels and on boats! We chose to leave the door open because it was stuffy with it closed. The v-berth is quite comfortable all in all. I do feel rested today and ready to set to work simply cleaning everything from top to bottom. The boat is quite dirty. It needs a simple spring cleaning.

I’m in slow motion today as I listen to the ship’s clock ticking while sipping my morning coffee. I’m sitting here thinking how I have been so anxious about handling the boat and this marina that the boat is parked in is quite derelict and the water is shallow. Where I have been hesitant to just get going, I am now let’s get out of here ASAP! As Tim and I know better, we cannot rush this phase of provisioning, sea trailing and checking before sailing from Alameda to San Diego. Inside I feel like I don’t want to even go back home, let’s begin now. I think I am ready for this next phase. But first we must take inventory here, clean and check out all the boat and it’s systems. We will return home later today to finish settling the affairs of the house and collect what we need to get ourselves ready to go and purchase additional items that will be needed to make this our home as well as being a sea-going vessel.

    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.
