It’s time. Magnus decides that he needs to start disconnecting the engine from Nutshell. It’s a laborious task but he eventually manages to do it. Then it’s off to the lock towed by three dinghies. It’s a tricky journey with million dollar yachts ...

After only a couple days inside Leslie's bilge the pump failed and we show why.

Building a boat can seem like an incredibly daunting task. One thing that has gotten us through these years is seeing it a lot of little things that need to be done and pieces that need to go together. This episode is very much dedicated to that ideology...

I woke up this morning to a bilge FULL of water. In this video I show how I diagnosed and repaired the automatic bilge pump in our liveaboard Catalina 30 sailboat.

This week we pulled the trigger and took home a little Dominican puppy. We have seen first hand how well a dog can protect a boat plus they are just so fun. Of course it will be more work and potty training could be fun but we are up for it. We also knock ...
