Fall is Here | Daily Routines of Off Grid Boat Life

The seasons are changing, and we are getting ready to sail the boat back to our winter home on the docks!

The seasons are changing, and we are getting ready to sail the boat back to our winter home on the docks! With Fall comes wind storms, shorter days, colder weather, and not enough solar power to charge out batteries. We’re racing time to get Blue Moon to a safe moorage for the winter. We’ve had a bit of trouble recently with *all* of our engines, but we were able to get the outboard dinghy motor and our big universal m-30 diesel running after a bit of TLC (and banging the starter with a hammer)!

For anyone new to the channel, we live on a 30 ft sailboat full time and recently moved to an off-grid moorage the summer months! This means that we get all of our power from the solar system or by running the Diesel engine, and we have to pack in all of our water and food using our little dinghy with an outboard motor. Blue Moon is a 1978 Catalina 30 sailing vessel which we acquired in 2020. One year later we decided it was time for a road trip and built out a 1998 Delica to drive across the country. Now we live aboard the boat full-time, take weekend trips in the van, and explore this beautiful world.

Thanks for watching!
