Update and the blogs future

January 1, 2025Matt 8 Comments

Hi everyone! At this point I am over a year behind, having left off just at Bahia Frailes. So here is a year, in recap. Got to La Paz, hung out with friends from Canada and new friends Raced Maquinna Point… Continue reading →

I got an article published!

May 18, 2022Matt Leave a comment

A very quick (and braggy) post – I got my first sailing article published! It’s in Good Old Boat magazine, May/June issue. There was also a nice little sketch of Sooner plus an embarrassing quote from me. And yeah, that’s… Continue reading →

Moving Sooner to Victoria

January 11, 2022Matt 4 Comments

So like Gudge (and Frawg), I’d bought a boat somewhere where I didn’t live. Pender Island, in this case. Luckily, unlike 7 years ago I had the skills (and more importantly, the insurance coverage) to move the boat myself. Unluckily,… Continue reading →

I bought a new boat

Domain name change complete!

May 6, 2021Matt 6 Comments

Well it was a bit longer than ‘within the week’ but I finally finished the domain name changeover. You should be seeing this now on saildivefish.ca (a studiously non-tied-to-boat-name domain) and hopefully, that is the last time ever I have… Continue reading →

Other domain change, rebrand

Pardon my dust

April 21, 2021Matt 8 Comments

Over the next week or so, I’ll be making a few changes to this website – the most important one is moving over to www.saildivefish.ca as Life on Gudgeon is certainly not accurate anymore. After thinking on it for a… Continue reading →

Summer Update

July 10, 2020Matt 4 Comments

Well, it’s been a while since I updated this, mainly because nothing has really changed. I’m still in Ottawa, covid is still rampaging around the place, the Pacific is still closed and Gudge is still in Mexico. Ottawa is currently… Continue reading →
