Whale Cay Cut, we’ve heard a lot about it. Cruisers and guide books alike warn to avoid going through unless the weather is calm and the tide is slack. Is it a bunch of hype? We'll we put it to the test in this weeks video. We also get to play with baby ...
At long last we arrive to the Bahamas! Things went really smoothly right up until we got smacked by an unforecast storm where we got the highest winds we'd ever experienced so far with gusts up to 45kts. All things considered I think we handled it well. We...

We wrap up our time on the hard in St Augustine Florida and do our first night sail down to West Palm Beach where we promptly find a problem with our saildrives (the thing the propellor attaches too) and have to get hauled right back out again....

We head south! We have things to fix on the boat that require it to be out of the water. Unfortunately for us, the nearest place that both allows DIY (mostly) and can haul out a 23ft wide boat is in St Augustine Florida about 200 miles away. We end up on t...
This is the second half of our refit before heading south to warmer waters. We had a number of projects going from batteries, to hull stickers, to construction on the starboard hull. We did as much as we could in the time we had to get the boat comfortable...
Refitting the boat is a major undertaking. We knew it would be, but knowing it and living it are two very different things. It seemed like we always had 4 projects going at once and there was never enough roo to put everything. Not to mention we were livin...
We did not buy a catamaran to have 6 inches of snow on it! We got hit by the largest snow storm Charleston SC had ever seen according to locals. A few days after the snow melted off we had a small electrical fire which melted down our shore power connecti...
Our favorite fluffy crew member finally joins us on the boat! Our dog's name is Arya and she's a samoyed. They're very friendly dogs, but also a little bit... vocal. She's been sailing with us a few times but it'd be a stretch to call her a boat dog (yet)....
Our final leg of the trip to Charleston for the refit. We pass through some remote areas of the ICW in Georgia and make our way into South Carolina as the temperature starts to drop.

As we travel northward Charleston to do our reft the wind and current all turn strongly against us making open ocean progress nearly impossible. So we resign ourselves to traveling in the "Ditch" aka the ICW aka the Intracoastal Waterway. While is not the ...
We're back with Gary Fretz for some more expert information. We filmed this before heading north for our refit and wanted to share it as it might help some of you who are looking to buy a boat. When we first started researching buying a boat, I had strongl...
Finally got our week one video out! It's a big one for us and we had to edit it twice thanks to a dead hard drive... But better late than never. Week one was a roller coaster, we had a lot of firsts on our boat, both good annnnd... not so good. But hey, th...
Here's a quick walkthrough of our boat and home, a 40' sailing catamaran, pre modifications. This boat is pretty close to what we wanted and needed as a starting platform. The boat's in decent condition as is but we've got a lot of changes we want to make ...
How did we afford our boat? What loan(s) did we use and how did we qualify? We answer all of these things and more. The process has a ton of pitfalls and if you're not careful it can be an unpleasant surprise as your trying to buy your boat. We're sharing ...
Here is our survey and seatrial video for the Lagoon 410 that we bought. The idea was to document the process we went through to help give an idea what it can be like for others interested in buying a boat. We're a little behind on our video editing but ar...
We finally did it!! We bought a 2000 Lagoon 410. 41ft long, and 23ft beam (she's got some wide hips.) It took a long time (longer than normal) but we did it!! We've got a number of videos coming up about the survey, loans, and the process in general. But l...
This year's hurricane season has been particularly rough in many aspects. One of which being the yacht market. A large percentage of boat in the Caribbean have been damaged and this will have an affect of the market for years for both new and used boats. I...
