We take a tour of a 2008 Dufour 485 sailboat.

The current of the Gulf Stream is no joke, particularly when it is pushing you into head winds. Watch as we reef up and cross a pretty kicked up sea state across the Gulf Stream, sing to our first Cuban sunrise, deal with an issue with the furling gear on...

Get ready for it to blow! These weren't super heavy winds but they were on the nose and had Plaintiff's Rest really heeled over during the second night and day of our voyage to Cuba. Our Niagara 35 proved she was up for the task though, practically saili...

We're here in Cartagena now and loving it. It has everything you could ever want from an old world city. A great atmosphere and cheap food.

Provisioning for passage. Stowing goods on the boat (according to weight). Power conservation while underway. Watch schedules. Sleep arrangements. You name it. A ton of good, hopefully helpful info for you all while Phillip and I are preparing our bo...

Due to slow internet connections, I am forced to split our videos into two parts. This is a longer video, as it is offshore and I wanted to expose the full feel of the first day offshore passage. Hopefully this works... If you want a more accurate update o...

Our passage from Charleston SC to Wilmington NC was an easy smooth over night sail... for the most part. We did get hit by (our first) rain storm. Uma sails reefed and trimmed, she really was a champ, and this wet ride became the smoothest, most comfortabl...

Welcome (and please subscribe!) to the oldest sailing channel on YouTube! This video was shot back in 2009 when Elizabeth and Seth took their Lagoon 380 Catamaran halfway around the world from Norfolk, Virginia to Sydney, Australia. Now it's 2020 and we're...

Seth and Elizabeth sail their boat, Honeymoon, from the island of Caracao to San Blas, Panama. Along the way they encounter a 32 hour storm dishing out up to 20 foot seas and 50 knot gusts. The boat sailed under bare poles and top speed peaked at 18.3 knot...
