I Rode Colorado’s Tour of the Moon β€” With the Wrong Kind of Training I found myself signed up for a legendary event in Colorado called Tour of the Moon. It was scenic, challenging, and a little reckless β€” in the best way.

β€œThis wasn’t just a rideβ€”it was a reckoning.”

I didn’t come to prove anything. I came to see if the woman who used to ride like hell was still in there.
Spoiler: she is. And she brought snacks. #WomenWhoRide #CyclingComeback #Over40Athlete teresauncharted.ca/tour-of-the-...

Zen Moment 19: Exploring a Waterfall Only Accessible by Boat YouTube video by Teresa Uncharted

I’ve been doing a collection of Zen Moments on YouTube from my adventures. This one is the waterfall from Grace Harbour that I mentioned in my blog post earlier. #zenmoment #waterfall #desolationsound #pnw #pacificnorthwest #britishcolumbia #canada #adventure #hiking #seenonthetrail

Grace Harbour: Hidden Anchorage Found They say every anchorage has its own rhythm. For Grace Harbour, it just happened to start with zero wind and a lot of curiosity.

I Bought a Boat and Didn’t Completely Lose My Mind Buying a boat is supposed to be exciting. What the boat hunt actually was? A mildly unhinged combination of detective work and disappointment.

Let’s be honest. Starting a blog feels a bit like standing at the end of a dock shouting into the fog, hoping someone hears you. But if you’re into sailing, dogs, coastal adventures, and the occasional dose of chaos, then you’ve found the right place! #sailing #sailinglife #sailingadventures

You’d never know these two photos were taken seconds apart. Sunrise in front of me and the moon behind. I like how the mountains were glowing πŸ₯°

I also like that I’m already getting more light in the morning again after the time change just over a week ago! #britishcolumbia #vancouverisland #canada

Yeah I’ve been watching it and reading your posts. And I think he hit that hard now to distract what’s happening internationally. It’s complete chaos. Are you able to keep up?

We definitely don’t hate you. This whole situation is heartbreaking.

What to know about this week's 'blood worm moon' total lunar eclipse This total lunar eclipse β€” the first in three years β€” will feature a "blood worm moon," so named for the reddish hue of its glow and the time of year it's occurring.

Need a distraction from earthly news? Up all night stressed anyway (or willing to set an alarm to be briefly up)?

There’s a full lunar eclipse late Thursday night or early Friday morning (depending on your time zone). Watch the moon turn blood red! www.npr.org/2025/03/11/n...

Hello darkness my old friend…

At least this time I know it’s only for a couple of weeks! Beautiful, calm morning at the beach now that the herring have stopped spawning in this area. #canada #vancouverisland #britishcolumbia #beachwalk #dawnpatrol #sunrise

Sailing through Hole in the Wall, Desolation Sound at slack tide
Sailing through Hole in the Wall, Desolation Sound at slack tide YouTube video by Adventures with Teresa

Just a quick vid of a sailing trip on the backside of Quadra Island. We planned this part of the trip for slack tide since Hole in the Wall can get a bit spicy if you time it wrong πŸ˜‰ (Seymour Narrows runs at 16 kts so I’m guessing it’s similar here.) #sailing #vancouverisland #desolationsound

Just another zen moment from the beach. Barely missed the storm, winds stopped just before we got here this morning. #vancouverisland #britishcolumbia #canada #oceanwalk #beachwalk

Sailing to the Mysterious Octopus Islands
Sailing to the Mysterious Octopus Islands YouTube video by Adventures with Teresa

I don’t know why it’s not using the actual thumbnail from the video, but here’s a short clip from a sail to the Octopus Islands last summer. I just finally looked at the footage recently 🀣 But if pro YouTubers can post 6 mos later, I can too, right?? #sailing #oceanlife #vancouverisland #canada

I believe so. No claws and very round. Also bigger than most of the surrounding dog prints (those are diamond shaped). This is one my dog’s print for reference. He’s a 100 lbs shepherd and cougars in this area are around that size.
