Hit with our First Storm of the Season... Are We Ready?

November 20, 2022 Sailing YouTubers

We were hit by our first storm of the season, which was a good reminder of what winter boat life really is.

We were hit by our first storm of the season, which was a good reminder of what winter boat life really is. Over the calm and warm summer months it’s easy to forget about the loud wind whistling through the mast, jolting the boat, and flapping the tarp. But each winter aboard gets a little easier as we figure out our routines and work to make Blue Moon more comfortable. We also took it as a sign to start working on some long overdue projects in the cockpit!

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!
