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.

Retooling Life Part 4: Livin’ On A Trip

21/4/2017

Have you ever taken a trip to someplace new? How long did you stay? What if you lived on a trip for months? This has become our way of life at this point. We are continuing our series with Dharam Barrett”s article: “How To Get Your Life Back On Track When You Feel Broken” as our framework for evaluating this process of getting ourselves back on track after massive changes in our life happened in June 2016. Part 1 is about doing something that flat out scares you. Part 2 is about unplugging from the digital world so you can experience the moments that are happening all around you right now. Part 3 is about learning a new language. Part 4 is Barrett’s number 6: Take a trip. The premise is that changing your surroundings can help you find a place of healing by entering into the new scene. The trip can be any length you desire.

What has our trip looked like? Just read the blog! In summary, we purchased our sailboat in August 2016, loaded it up and sailed it from the San Francisco Bay area to San Diego, CA. Once in San Diego we made improvements, repairs and provisions. We left San Diego for La Paz BCS, Mexico on November 21, 2016. We hung out at a marina and beach club there for about 2.5 months finishing up varnish and minor repairs. We pulled out of La Paz February 19, 2017 to sail around the Sea of Cortez as far north as Loreto BCS, Mexico.

Living on a trip has been a major healing force in our lives
The trip was stellar! We anchored in amazing turquoise waters, enjoyed amazing geology, and frolicked with wild sea life! We interacted with small communities in our different anchorages and met amazing people from the local area and beyond. We experimented with our different boat systems such as water, power, and garbage/sewage while honing our boat handling and anchoring skills. This time has been challenging, rich, and nearly beyond words. We have a great deal of content for the blog that will be coming soon!

We returned to La Paz for a week long stay in the yards, which means hauling the boat out of the water to inspect the bottom. This included new bottom paint, new zincs, and a delimitation repair that was a surprise. Once back in the water we provisioned for a month and waited for the right weather window to return to San Diego, at least start the process of our return.

The uphill return to San Diego, CA, about 1,000 nautical miles took 19 days and was grueling. This sort of traveling reveals a great deal about how tough you are and how tough your boat is! We arrived in San Diego on Easter morning about 0415 tying up at the customs dock to await our check in. 

In all our trip was 5 months long. We have been back for about five days and things feel so different. We have truly returned as different persons. There is so much to share and so many stories to tell. As we prepare to return to our house in northern California, our views are so majorly different. The life that we once had feels foggy in my head and our losses don’t seem so large. I still have questions about what will be next and what we have become from our adventures, but my heart is so much more peaceful and whole than when we left in August.

Living on a trip has been a major healing force in our lives. Even though our suitcase is 35 feet long, it has been the trip of a lifetime. Now that we are back, we think we need a bigger suitcase so we can have others along next time we travel taking the next trip of a lifetime. Never underestimate the power of a trip, a very long trip, to places you have never been. Barrett’s supposition is quite true in this, we do see ourselves differently now. 

We are including our Mexico wrap up video with this entry so you can hear about some of the things we learned, what we wish we had on our trip, what we could not live without and more!

Hi! Robin and I watched all of this. You guys are adorable, kinda reminds me of a cross between Jake and Danielle and Sheldon and Amy from the Big Bang Theory, doing their "Fun with Flags " web show.

So now I know about boxed milk and really fresh eggs and toilet paper you throw away. I played the whale sharks and dolphin videos for Jake and Robin. I am a fan.

I know it must be culture shock to be back in Redding. Stay busy, do what you need to do, and you will come through OK.
