Join Peter Knowles on Travels with Geordie, where he shares his adventures aboard MV Zephyrus, a classic wooden motor cruiser in the beautiful Pacific Northwest. In this episode, Peter navigates through serene yet unpredictable waters, starting from the undulating coves of Jedediah Island, braving rough seas to Hardy Island, and eventually heading north to the breathtaking landscapes of Desolation Sound. Witness the unique challenges and joys of boat life, from unexpected weather changes and DIY projects like installing new cabin taps to tackling onboard connectivity with a custom cell router setup.

Peter’s stories offer a glimpse into the practicalities of living aboard, such as handling plumbing repairs that disrupt sleep and deploying anchoring techniques that ensure safety during windy nights. This episode also highlights the bittersweet moment of losing a drone during a dramatic early-morning filming attempt, which illustrates the risks of capturing life at sea.

Discover why living aboard is not just about travel but about creating a home that sails. Experience the blend of tranquility and excitement, topped with a visit to cozy coastal towns, hearty provisions from local shops, and sharing moments over a local brew.
