Hey Reader! It was sweltering in the Sea of Cortez as we floated in clear, turquoise waters on our sailboat one day in late May. Hot and muggy, with a permanent sheen of sweat on our bodies. And I REALLY wanted a loaf of sourdough. Too hot to use the oven. Too hot to even use the stove! What was a girl craving bread supposed to do? ☀️ Use the power of that hot sun, that’s what! I pulled out my GoSun Fusion Solar Oven and got to work. It took a little longer than my regular oven, but when I finally pulled out a steaming, crusty, golden-brown loaf, it was pure magic—all made with the power of the sun. -----THIS EMAIL IS SPONSORED BY GOSUN, A PRODUCT I USE AND LOVE. ALL OPINIONS ARE MY OWN------- And once I started? I couldn’t stop. For weeks, I used my GoSun Fusion Solar Oven almost daily, baking bread, cooking dinners, and making desserts—all without propane, electricity, or fuel. Here Are a Few of My Favorite Solar-Cooked Meals:
Why A Solar Oven is a Game-Changer for Van Life & Off-Grid Living:✅ Cooks Anything, Anywhere – Works in the desert, the forest, even on cloudy and chilly days. ✅ Fuel-Free & Sustainable – No propane, no electricity—just the sun! ✅ Lightweight & Portable – Multiple sizes available for campervans, sailboats, and RVs. ✅ Set It & Forget It – No babysitting required—go for a hike while your meal cooks. ✅ Fast Cooking: Smaller solar ovens can cook meals as quickly as 30 minutes! They can also boil water. This is especially amazing for van life, where most rigs don’t even have an oven. With a GoSun Solar Oven, you can bake, roast, and steam meals completely off-grid. Cooking with the power of the sun feels like magic. And if you love off-grid travel as much as I do, this is one tool you’ll never want to leave behind. ☀️ Check out GoSun Solar Ovens here → https://gosun.co/pages/solar-ovens I love my GoSun Solar Oven, and I hope you do too!

Hey Reader! This week saw a wild rescue out of the Pacific ocean from a sailor who left California on his way to Hawaii, and experienced a catastrophic failure. Two weeks into his trip, Kai Soto's mast snapped. His engine had no fuel. His phone was dead. What he had left: PVC pipe, kayak paddles, a bag of oatmeal, and whatever fish and squid landed on deck. So he built a sail out of the paddles and pipe, collected drinking water by sealing seawater in plastic bags and licking the...
Hey Reader! For the past number of days, we've been bumming around the San Francisco Bay area in our campervan visiting friends and family, mountain biking and sailing. This is a wonderful place to visit,.....but not when you're in a camper. Every day, I relentlessly check the area's few campgrounds for cancellations. Full and booked. Every time. The only available campsites are at privately owned RV parks that are basically a parking lot - no beauty, no views - and charging over $100 per...
Hey Reader! This morning I woke up to a crazy text alert on my phone: "High Humidity Detected: 86%" 86% humidity is a whopper. We're at the boatyard in Puerto Peñasco in June, when the sea temp rises and drags the humidity right along with it. Not exactly comfortable conditions. I'm monitoring all this from my phone using a small cellular device called the Necto 4G Multisensor. I set upper and lower limits for heat and humidity, and it texts me the moment things go beyond those limits. No...
