Sailing 'Iwa

Welcome to our modest YouTube channel. We are a couple who have been sailing our 1999 Beneteau 47.7 since March of 2021. We bought S/V 'IWA (pronounce Eva) The Hawaiian name for the great frigate bird in San Fransisco and sailed her back to Hawaii were we both were living and working. After many cruising upgrades we departed Oahu in June of 2023 and sailed North to Kodiak Alaska. Sailing through the Gulf of Alaska with port stops in Seward, Whittier and Cordova we entered the inside passage and are currently wintering over in Juneau. 

Capt'n Rob is a retired US Navy P-3 Aircrewman and holds a 50ton USCG license.
