Wanderlust: April 2010
http://tiffanyfritzler2.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
Sunday, April 11, 2010. It's the final countdown! I'm not going to lie; I'm pretty apprehensive about writing this blog. I have read quite a few travel blogs lately, and they all seem incredibly witty, insightful and full of adventure. Either way, I have to write it, I'm looking forward to writing it and I hope that you all enjoy it =). First things first (as first things normally are). I'm writing this blog for MIISP. In three weeks for a month with a UM group called ATRAVES. We are going to run hea...

Voyage of the SV Kamaya: In the land of Koalas and Kangaroos
http://svkamaya.blogspot.com/2011/08/in-land-of-koalas-and-kangaroos.html
Saturday, August 27, 2011. In the land of Koalas and Kangaroos. We made it to the land of koalas and kangaroos. Though we didn't see these adorable creatures in the wild, I wanted to share some photos we took at our venture to Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary in Brisbane. Say hello to this mom and her joey. Who is gathered together with her mob. They look a little like a deer, but they're super sociable like dogs and like to be petted and fed. Koalas are endangered here in Australia and it's predicted that in t...

Voyage of the SV Kamaya: My Sailing Grandmother
http://svkamaya.blogspot.com/2013/07/my-sailing-grandmother.html
Wednesday, July 10, 2013. Evi plays bridge very well, but is way too honest to pull off a decent poker face. An accomplished computer science professer, Evi wrote a college textbook on programming. I met this incredible woman four years ago, and it seems like I’ve known Evi forever. 8220;Can you do a pull up? 8221; my mom jokingly asked the group. I certainly didn’t know any seventy year old who would even try. I never should have doubted Evi’s determination. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Voyage of the SV Kamaya: September 2011
http://svkamaya.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
Tuesday, September 27, 2011. One of the benefits of living on a boat is that you can’t go crazy shopping. But now that I’m living on American soil in a house, I feel like all the stores and billboards are screaming at me to BUY BUY BUY. Bikes, computers, clothes, beds, cellphones … all these things that we didn’t need on a boat seem essential on land. As I walk into a store, I want to lasso myself back. You don’t want more stuff! Remember the boxes you packed away for three years and didn’t miss? Now tha...

Voyage of the SV Kamaya: Swimming with Whales
http://svkamaya.blogspot.com/2011/07/swimming-with-whales.html
Sunday, July 31, 2011. 8220;Look, a whale! 8221; my mother said. I rushed to the cockpit and looked to where she had pointed. We were under sail going into a bay in Lifou, New Caledonia. Sure enough, there was a whale relaxing not far from us. She was floating on her belly, with her small dorsal fin poking out of the water. Whales are fantastic creatures and Tim and I were very lucky to have seen one so close. Don’t be afraid to comment! What a rare experience, Maya! August 15, 2011 at 5:10 PM. Whales ar...

Voyage of the SV Kamaya: October 2011
http://svkamaya.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
Thursday, October 6, 2011. I stepped off my boat for the very last time. The home I had lived in for three years. A life where I had seen many things. That I might never see again. I watched dolphins leap from the bow. On nights when the moon disappeared. They left a trail of glittering light. Like a mirror of the stars. I swam beside a humpback whale. As she drifted through the ocean. She lifted her tail, curved her back. Plunged deep into the sea. I looked down a volcano’s mouth. Flying past my head.

Voyage of the SV Kamaya: March 2011
http://svkamaya.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Tuesday, March 15, 2011. In celebration of Art Month here in Auckland, the kids learned about protesting. The sign above spells out my current thoughts. It's difficult to grasp the devastation caused by the earthquake and tsunami in Japan. The images look like they came from the Hollywood movie, 2012. And not from anything real. Kai and Ryan, our friend from the catamaran Stray Kitty. Had something to say about dolphins. Maya, Celia and Andrea also wanted to stop the world from harming sea creatures.
