WELCOME! To my life story!
For a while now I've wanted to share my entire life story. As well as the many adventure I have just not had time to edit. This is the prologue to all those chapters.
This story begins back in September 2013. And details the mo...
WELCOME to the first chapter of my life story. This begins back in December 2014. During my time in Big Sur California, that were to be, the time I needed to get back on my feet. This was an extremely difficult time in my life. But one where adventure &...
This was the single best freedive of my entire life! Not just for where I was, who I was with, all the sea life that I saw. But because it was one of those rare times when I felt like I could breath underwater! I wish I could feel like this every day!

This is the second chapter in a larger series that tells the complete story of my life of adventure! This one takes place primarily around San Diego. An area that taught me how to hunt all new species of fish. And that spearfishing was my passion that need...
In this video, Dan talks about an incredible challenge that he's planning to embark on for 100 consecutive days of completely off-grid self-sufficiency. He shares all the preparation and strategy needed to make this possible, as well as what it would entai...

Although sailing & cruising is my life's dream and goal. Even I need a break from it! That's why I spent the past 75 days away. I NEEDED a break to come back to center and remember why I love life at sea. Too much of ANYTHING is a bad thing.

Why would I solo sail miles out to sea and then freedive alone to the bottom of the ocean floor with my sailboat above unattended? Because as Helen Keller once said "life is either a daring adventure or nothing at all". I live this lifestyle to seek out ad...
Welcome onboard Bon Edda. A 1986 Amel Maramu ketch rigged monohull sailboat. Ken & Renee have recently refitted this beautiful & capable sailboat so they can go anywhere, and in comfort. Amel is a very well known brand of open ocean sailing vessels. As you...
WELCOME! To our Tree House Nest! This is a passion project of Nicole & myself. Together we made this amazing little hangout high up in a tree using only old(but sturdy) rope & paracord. About a mile of paracord to be precise.

Ciguatera fish poisoning is caused by eating fish that have accumulated toxins produced by microscopic algae called Gambierdiscus. These toxins build up in older and larger predator reef fish such as barracuda, grouper, hogfish, jacks and snapper, as they ...

Recently Nicole bought a sailing dinghy! This thing is absolutely amazing! It's SUPER light, sails fast & fun, and can even come apart into two pieces that "nest" into itself for better storage on deck.
This dinghy was actually made by Emily(formerly ...
Luperon is a hard place to sail away from.... Plus, we've made it even harder. It's been 7 months! And I'm READY to leave.....

This video is a breakdown interview of Nicole & my two days sailing 170nm+ from Luperon Domnican Republic, to Great Inagua The Bahamas. It's my hope that this video serves as a learning example for others. As well as to fill in some of the gaps from th...
We NEED rest! And after 34+hrs of both solo sailing our boats, we finally got it! This is the island of Great Inagua. And I think we're going to like it here..... very very much! :)
Also be sure to checkout the previous episode: Day 2: https://youtu.be/r1...
After a MUCH needed day of rest in White Bluff. Nicole & I had a super slow and relaxing sail downwind to Mathewtown. The main, and only town in Great Inagua. There, we checked in, made some friends, got Nicole a phone, and got out! Done & done!

The purpose of this video is to help educate sailors and other non-Bahamians who are interested in spearfishing/ocean harvesting throughout the Bahamas. This video is my best understanding of what the current laws are as of the making this video in Decembe...
I thought once we checked in we were done with hard parts of cruising. I thought we were going to get back to our paradise anchorage to get back to the good life....... I thought wrong! My still being sick, the weather, the tides, and other factors meant t...
Starting the day in absolute paradise.... then spearfishing and getting a nice catch..... then sailing out with the sunset.... Ok, so far that was all great, but then when the sun goes down, that's when EVERYTHING changes!

This is just another day in the life on my sailboat Adventureborne, with Nicole on her sailboat Artha. But what started as a miserable day, turned into one EPIC spearfishing mission. Providing us food for many days to come.
As well, this was the last cha...
When people dream of the sailing & cruising life, this is what they dream of! It's been such a difficult road for both of us to get here. But now that we've made it. It's all soo well worth it!

There is no specific story to this day. It's just our life far far off grid. We never know what is going to happen next. It's an endless surprising adventure. And that's what we love!

Meeting the local fishermen Norman & Clay was a real treat..... because they were the first other people we'd seen in a week! But also, they showed us the single fastest way to clean a conch. When they catch up to 500 conch per day. THIS is the way you...
Kitesailing a 300lb+ RIB Highfield 310 dinghy at 11mph/9.6knots is fun and impressive! What's more, is that it can go upwind, and all while carrying a 15hp Yamaha Enduro on the back! Just think of the possibilities of this simple setup? What could be impro...
The 13th day of my 100 Day Water World Challenge was my birthday! And Nicole knew just how to treat me on this special day. With an adventure! And I loved every single minute of it..... until we dismasted her dinghy sailboat. That was bad! But, you'll be s...
Mutton Snapper are a great fish to hunt and eat. They eat primarily crab, and taste delicious! So when I see one, I go for them! Being that their main diet consists of crab, they are highly unlikely to give someone Ciguatera fish poisoning.
