LITHIUM BATTERY DAMAGE on our electric sailboat (how to stop it from happening)

LITHIUM BATTERY DAMAGE on our electric sailboat (how to stop it from happening) | Episode 181 Sailing takes a toll on equipment, especially if it’s exposed to the salty air and the inevitable splash of ocean water. I’ve been wanting to build a battery box for some time now. But I never got around t...

Is the CENTERBOARD on our Sailboat a PROBLEM?

Is the Centerboard on our sailboat a PROBLEM? | Episode 180 When we first bought Saoirse, we had no idea why there was a large pulley sitting on the counter. Low and behold we found out it was for our centerboard. We did a little bit of maintenance to it before we set off on our adventure. But sin...

Closing up the holes in our boat | Episode 179 Recently we sailed to the boatyard to get hauled out here in Curacao.

BIG HOLES IN OUR SAILBOAT (water damage in our keel)

Last week we hauled out our boat for what we were hoping to be a simple paint job and a dash of maintenance thrown in. Saoirse is a 1971 pearson 35 with a drop centerboard, and one of the things we had on the list to fix was the leak coming from our centerboard pin. While working on that we discove...

IS OUR BOAT WORTH SAVING? (scary discovery during haul out)

#177 In this episode we ask ourselves is our boat worth saving after finding a scary discovery during our haul out. Two years ago we had an emergency haul out of our boat.

We are setting sail to a place we REALLY DONT want to go. But it’s something we have to do. We pick up anchor in Santa Cruz Curacao and head a 16 nm sail to Pescaderia, to Royal Marine Boatyard.

CAN WE WIN? LET THE SAILING RACE BEGIN! | Beau and Brandy Sailing

Whenever there is another boat on the horizon its always a race, well at least in our heads it is. But today we are leaving Fuik Baai and racing our friends on Black Moon to our anchorage 24 nautical miles away. We are putting up our 150 genoa in hopes to give us some speed. Who will win? Follow...

The BALANCE of using our Electric Motor| Beau and Brandy Sailing

We rarely get to use our electric motor to motor sail. We have learned to have a great amount of patience while sailing, that we just can't get there fast. Pretty much ever. Sometimes we are happy to sit behind the sails and let the wind take us at its speed. But then there are other times, we ...

BOAT LIFE BALANCE: It’s more WORK than you think! Beau and Brandy Sailing

When we bought a boat we knew it was going to be work. But we didn't know really how much work. We are definitely not on vacation. Boat life balance can be a challenge. We visiting the most jaw dropping places, but sometimes we feel we only get to see a glimpse of them because we are busy doing...

Should we SELL our boat? or KEEP her? | Beau and Brandy Sailing

We've had many discussions on if we should SELL our boat or just add some bells and whistles to make her a little more comfortable. Today we are testing out how it is to sail other boats, to see what we like and what we don't in other boats. Today we are sailing to Fuik Baai in Curacao o...

We need to SLOW DOWN | Beau and Brandy Sailing

Since leaving the fast paced land life behind, we knew we needed to slow down or burn out. We have learned so much since being on our sailboat, but we are still learning to slow down after all this time. We get a lesson in that after we visit the Ridge to Reef Farm here in St. Croix. We went to me...

If you’ve been following our sailing journey since the beginning you’ll know that we've been living on an all electric sailboat for 3 years, Saoirse. Meaning, she doesn’t have a diesel engine or a propane stove. We get most of our power from the sun via our 700 watts of solar panels. When we ...

The ONLY place in the Caribbean you can do THIS | Beau and Brandy Sailing

We have found the ONLY place in the Caribbean you can do THIS, something a little off the beaten path of normal. But first we go on the BEATEN path for some hiking to Annaly Tidal Pools. After a long hike, dropping into the cool pool is so refreshing. The views of the pools are quite stunning. The...

St Croix in the Virgin Islands is largest of the USVIs and the diving here is a huge attraction and pull. We have a salty wet sail around the island from Fredriksted to the twin city of Christensted, changing out headsails along the way. Once we get to Christensted we get invited out on SCUBA on...

Night and Day Difference | Sailing St Croix

We sailed into St. Croix with one big mission, to dive the Frederiksted Pier. We first start off by fixing our watermaker that has been out of commission for almost a year. Fresh water, it is the most important resource on Saoirse. Back when we didn’t have a watermaker, being able to get water deter...

we bought a sailboat with NO EXPERIENCE (where it has lead us) | Beau and Brandy Sailing

We bought a sailboat with no experience, but knew that we could learn along the way. We left Florida with our barebones sailboat and along the way we have made her more comfortable with the generosity of many. We didn’t even know if we were going to like #sailing, so we didn’t add a lot to #sailboat...
