We continue to exploring the beautiful french island of corsica byt Fountaine Pajot 47 Catamaran and do some provisioning in Porto Vecchio. This channel is funded by viewers like you. Please help us keep this channel creating great content by becoming a ...

This week we're touring a sailboat that's on the complete opposite end of the spectrum of what we normally look at. This is truly a luxurious catamaran, and you'll pay for it! At an asking price of $1,095,000, this million dollar yacht has all of the comfo...

On our quest for the "best cruising cat" we looked at several models that fell squarely in the Bluewater Cruising category. In this video we share why we ended up with the Outremer and take an in depth look at the other boats we considered. We include com...

Crossing from Long Island to Manhattan is a stressful transit - no wonder they call it HELL'S GATE! You have to time your crossing to coincide with slack tide or you simply can't make it - at least not in a sailboat. But, the experience is a truly specia...

Elizabeth and I have lived in New York, but we've never had the opportunity to take our kids there - so it was quite special to sail there with them! After anchoring just outside the city in Long Island we took the train into The Big Apple and hit the mai...

After our magical first few days in Cape Cod it was time for us to start heading south toward New York and ultimately the Chesapeake Bay. We had a great sail to Block Island but when we went to reef before a squall the Main Sail wouldn't come down because ...

After a particularly bad docking experience with friends aboard (and maybe a little yelling), we gather back in the safety of the kitchen to discuss the experience - and hopefully learn from it. We thought it worth recording... While it's not the most exc...

We awoke to a perfect autumn day in Martha's Vineyard. We broke out all the toys, met a cruising boat with kids and just soaked in the reality of our new life aboard Archer. Looking back it was just too perfect. Almost like a dream, and we still pinch ours...

It's a really odd feeling when you leave your dock knowing your boat will not return unless you sail all the way around the world to get there. It's a combination of very exciting and scary at the same time. It's also quite normal feeling, like we're just ...

Gunboat vs Outremer - who will win!?!? It's not a fair fight. The Gunboat is 66 feet, has 12 foot daggerboards, a much higher mast, larger sail area and carbon fiber reinforced. The Outremer is 51 feet, has 3 foot daggerboards and is made of fiberglass. ...

This is how we spent the summer! We wanted to ease the boys into living aboard, but also to spend time with friends and family. And we had a lot of small things to fix or improve for our world tour. We cover it all here in just four minutes, which was hard...

Finally the boys meet Archer! We didn't take them to the initial inspection or the survey, so it wasn't until after we'd moved out of our old house that they finally got to see their new home, and trust me when I say we talked about it A LOT! Thankfully ...
