SAILING ALONE through the DANGEROUS MIDDLE to Fiji - PT. 1
We are setting sail on the longest voyage we have undertaken as a couple; 1900 miles from Bora Bora to Fiji across a stretch of water known as “The Dangerous Middle” where unpredictable weather conditions and poorly charted reefs are known to challenge the most seasoned sailors. Typically boats island hop across allowing them to sail during shorter, favorable weather windows instead of hoping for 12 days of stable conditions. But we have our fur child Yoda on board so we must sail nonstop to Fiji in order to import her. So we set our compass west, having faith in our ability to navigate our Seawind 1600 Wanderlust safely across this challenging stretch of ocean, to continue exploring and making the most of this one life.

If you're new here, Harbors Unknown is the story of two dreamers, Kristin & Fabio Potenti, & our dog Yoda. We're a small family living aboard our catamaran, SV Wanderlust, sailing to Harbors Unknown. Exploring the world, connecting with people and places through the local cuisine, and showing how great food can be cooked on a boat with limited space and resources. Seeking to balance the desire to explore and travel to beautiful, remote locations while leaving no footprint, minimizing the Hawthorne effect of the observers who change the environment she or he observes.
We hope to inspire people and showcase the possibility of living an alternative lifestyle that provides freedom and fulfillment, all while keeping it real. Sharing the trials and tribulations of living off-grid, acknowledging the discomfort of detoxing from the modern world, finding pleasure in the subtleties of nature and joy in simplicity. Attempting to understand what makes the world tick and tock but also trying to gain a deeper comprehension of ourselves and identify what will satisfy that hunger for further exploration, for purpose. We have set off on our voyage sailing around the world! Subscribe now to join our sailing adventure.

Harbors Unknown
Harbors Unknown is the story of two dreamers, Kristin and Fabio Potenti, and our French Bulldog Yoda. We sold our home at the beginning of the pandemic (May 27th, 2020) and moved aboard our Seawind 1600 catamaran, SV Wanderlust, in September. We’re documenting boat life as live aboard sailors, sharing our learnings, sailing adventures, travel experiences and delicious meals cooked on board. We're sailing SV Wanderlust to Harbors Unknown, to explore the world’s vast cultures through food, a common thread amongst people everywhere. Connecting with people and places through the local cuisine, and showing how those dishes can be cooked on a boat with limited space and resources. We hope to inspire people and showcase the possibility of living an alternative lifestyle living on a boat that provides freedom and fulfillment.

200 Years of History in Hue
Two hundred years isn’t very old. Especially if you’re Italian. But Hue packed emperors, colonialism, occupation, revolution and war into those two centuries. It’s all about the mileage, not the age .
I Don’t Like the Beach. So I Went to Con Market.
Da Nang is famous for its beaches. I had enough of them. So I went to Con Market instead. Pork, fermented food, coagulated blood, endless stalls, and the kind of organized chaos I was hoping to find in Vietnam.
Alone on a Vietnamese Sleeper Train
I took the train from Saigon to Da Nang. I took the slipper train instead of flying because I was  hoping to talk to some of the locals, it turned out that I was the only one in the compartment.
