We Thought the Lagoon Was Safe... We Were Wrong
After months of upgrades, projects, and settling into life aboard our Lagoon 450 catamaran, Isla is finally starting to feel like home.
In this episode, we install our Seawater Pro watermaker, spend time enjoying life in the lagoon, navigate unexpected health challenges, make Isla official with her new decals, and say goodbye to Saint Martin. We also reunite with friends in Grand Case, catch an incredible SpaceX Starlink launch, and prepare for one of our biggest adventures yet—our very first overnight sail to the U.S. Virgin Islands.
Saint Martin gave us memories we'll never forget, lifelong friendships, and a reminder that some of the hardest goodbyes happen when you've truly found a place you love.
⛵ ABOUT OUR WATERMAKER
One of the biggest upgrades we've made to Isla is our Seawater Pro watermaker, allowing us to turn seawater into fresh drinking water while living aboard full-time.

Finding Our Isla Sailing
We’re a family of five who left traditional life and moved full-time onto our sailboat, Isla. This channel shares the real side of family boat life. What it actually costs, how we homeschool while traveling, the challenges no one talks about, and the moments that make it all worth it. We live aboard full-time in the Caribbean and document life afloat with kids: • the finances behind this lifestyle • daily routines and homeschooling on the water • the hard days, the growth, and the joy • choosing time, connection, and freedom over stuff No highlight reels (okay... maybe a few) No pretending it’s perfect. Just honest life on the water. If you’ve ever wondered what it takes to make a big life change... or you’re dreaming of a different way to live, you’re in the right place. 🌊 Full sails. Full hearts. Full-time family life.
