We traded our motor for wind | Boating Journey
In episode 82 we traded our motor for wind by learning to sail on a fractional sailing boat, a Blanchard Junior Knockout. This is a 20′ sailing boat that is part of the livery for the Center for Wooden Boats on Seattle’s Lake Union.
Come along and see how well we did going from a power boat to a sail boat. Do we decide to trade in our power boat for a sail boat? Find out.

Boating Journey
Thanks for following our Boating Journey. We sold our home, our business and our first boat so we could move onto a liveaboard boat. We sold our 2002 Bayliner 4087 Aft Cabin MY that we moored at Elliott Bay Marina in July 2020 during the pandemic. In 2022, we moved to Fort Lauderdale, FL to be closer to boating opportunities. Our goal is to find a liveaboard slip within the next year and also share with our viewers different ways to can spend time on the water if you don't own a boat. We travel to the Caribbean every year and for 2022, we have chartered a bare boat catamaran and we're headed to the BVIs. Stay tuned!
