Hey everyone!
As you know, Pino is in Japan, and we, are back in Montreal until February, to spend time with family and friends. Some of you have been asking, "What's next for hundredrabbits?"
Well, we're back to the drawing board, researching the things we ...

We left Japan, leaving Pino behind... for a time. It's not forever. We want to spend more time cruising there and in order to do that, we need to leave for a few months — that's the truth of it. We spent 3 1/2 years trying to get there, we're not ready to leave just yet. We will return soon enough. In the meanti...

This month, we traveled to Tokyo with plans to visit Odaiba by bike. We did, but the trip ended there. Accidents happen.
The accident gave us a chance to dive back into games, and to discover the Japanese TV show Butt Detective. We'd like to thank our friend Chase for driving us around to the show and to some restaura...
Ronin is our studio's image processing tool.
In 2016, somewhere on the shores of Mexico, my laptop's logic board failed. Short of a computer, we devised ways to keep working. Ronin came into being during that time, but this first version wasn't flexible enough, and it eventually fell into disuse.

The rainy season (梅雨 "plum rain") has started.
We're spending more time indoors — this isn't a problem, not for us. We've got plenty of projects to keep us busy!

Recently, someone asked us this:
"What's it like to spend months at sea, and to now cross the world twice (by plane) in just a few days?"
"It's like taking the train instead of biking between the two locations. You miss everything, plus it's long and stressful." Devine replied.

Finally got around to writing a blog post about our arrival to Shimizu. The post is entitled "Hello Fujisan", appropriate considering this gorgeous mountain was the first thing we saw when we arrived near our goal.

We've arrived in mainland Japan! We missed our target, we were supposed to head into Wakayama but the wind didn't permit. So, instead we pulled into Shimizu port further north. We hadn't planned on coming here at all, but now that we're here we're enjoying it.
The sailing community is amazing. Local sailors have adopt...
Four years ago we decided to teach ourselves how to sail in order to return to Japan.
We have finally arrived.
This was our toughest sail yet, but Pino got us there. We are in Shimizu, licking our wounds and enjoying life in our favourite place in the world.
Thank you for your support, what a c...

You have no idea how glad we are to be here.
We're on an island that is east of Tokyo, but it's still Japanese soil and we are so happy and proud of what we did! It was a 21 day sail from Majuro to Chichijima, it wasn't an easy ride, and many things did break on the boat, including our inverter, tachometer, some s...

I know what you're thinking - we were supposed to sail to Tuvalu no? Well. Yes. We decided to skip it. We don't normally change routes like this. This is a first.
This change added 1,200NM to our passage - a considerable amount.
SO why? Why do this to ourselves? Why spend more weeks at sea than we have to?
Our latest video is out and even a bit early, for once!
We hope you enjoy it, we've been working on a ton of little audio visual projects, we'll share some details on these in our mailing list later today :)
We're leaving tomorrow morning for Tuvalu — Talk soon!

Markl is going well.
We've simplified the game, which means that for now it won't feature runes. These runes were made to represent blocks of code visually, used to build your character's fighting style.
Why? Because the game doesn't need it. Right now our focus is on building something that is s...
