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.

This was tonights sunset. They never get old and are always different.
January 14, 2017 La Paz, BCS, Mexico

I can hardly believe that two weeks have already passed! Tim and I have been playing with some different media ideas and have posted a few videos on our Facebook Page. I wonder how many of our readers think we are living in paradise, in the lap of luxury? I will not deny that we are in a spectacularly beautiful place! What is life really like? You must want to know. Our boat was built in 1979 in Hong Kong. It boasts teak both above and below deck. The teak on the top side needs to be refinished and sealed before we are going to be heading out again. This takes time to complete. Tim is tired of being tied to the dock, he’s ready to get out there in Sea of Cortez and see more of this amazing area. Some of you may be thinking, then get out there! Easily said!

Here is our average day: 
For Lynette:
After sleeping, or being in bed for about 10 hours, I finally emerge from the v-berth about 0800 or so. I make my coffee and enjoy drinking it, followed by making breakfast which usually consists of oatmeal. After breakfast the dishes have to be washed and are left to air dry. Then comes tidying the cabin and completing various chores that need doing. By now it is usually after 1000. My next tasks are usually planned the night before with Tim. For the last week it has been sanding the teak for 2-3 hours. Then comes lunch followed by more dishes. Next is my afternoon coffee break. I sit down to do an hour of DuoLingo to improve my Spanish. Once it’s about 1630 or so Tim and I walk down to the beach for sunset. Some days we go to the club with friends for drinks and maybe the pool or hot tub. We work our way back to the boat to have dinner, after which there are more dishes to wash. We then spend the evening in various ways such as visiting with our friends, watching a movie on my 13” laptop, playing games, working or cleaning. Finally, we plan what we hope to get done the following day and I head off to bed sometime between 2030 and 2230.

For Tim:
Tim sleeps less than Lynette does. He is usually up much earlier in the morning to catch a faster internet signal to complete his work. Tim spends about 4 or so hours each day working, as in working for dollars. Tim then begins his boat tasks of the day. The tasks can include sanding, applying epoxy, fixing rigging, adjusting other items to work better, repairing things that have broken, and on the list goes. Tim often calls it a day at lunch time and other times he gets right back to work for a couple more hours before we head to the beach. Some days he’s the jack of all trades and forward progress is halted for other repairs.

There you have it a day in the lives of the Jenne’s! Our friends Steve and Janny have a motto for La Paz: “Every day we work, we play, and we take a nap.” We are aspiring to be like them for sure. This last week I had the word linger go through my mind. According to dictionary.com it means: “(verb) loiter, delay. It is synonymous with: amble, dawdle, hang out, hang around, goof off, mosey, dilly-dally, drift.” It is the opposite or antonym of: “go, hurry, leave, rush.”

If you are personally acquainted with us, you already know how focused and driven we can both be. This drive is not in the sense of running people over, but in accomplishing things we want to get done or achieve. From June to the end of December there has been this internal pushing and pressure to hurry up and get our boat ready to just get going again. Hurry up and get out of bed, go! Come on! Get moving! I have been asking myself what is this go-go-go thing? I believe somehow I grasped the idea that my time is going to run out and I have more to do. I am not talking about my life being over, I’m talking in general about my day-to-day journey. Or we have to hurry up so the cruising kitty doesn’t run dry.

If I truly want to enjoy and experience different cultures it will require me to linger, enjoying the moment in its fullest while experiencing the absence of a pressure to go towards the next moment. We have decided to embrace lingering. It has brought us more rest and we are actually making more progress on our boat projects than before. As I sit here at the beach club, watching the sun setting as I write, I’m ready to embrace a life of lingering in all that I do, even the cleaning and sanding projects. This means I will no longer feel pressured that time or money are going to run out. How about you? Tell us what you think.

    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.
