Get your minds out of the gutter! It's time for us to get to work on this build site and begin patching all the holes in our tent!
Now that the other fishing boat is out of the tent at Kentmorr Marina, we now have the open space to get to work on patchin...
It's time for more friends to arrive in Annapolis, and when sv Delos enters these waters, we hop in a 17ft Boston Whaler to hunt them down.
After we make another quick run out to Kentmorr marina to inspect the tent and the Viking a little closer, it's tim...
Thanks for the bikini Bobby! I know it's YOUR birthday, but funnily enough, I end up with the gift.
During our time in Annapolis, in mid- October, we decide to get on a few more boats. Being invited out by a few of our Patrons, we go inspect one of the ...
We came to Annapolis to visit friends....but we may have just gotten roped in to something much bigger.

It's time to step foot in the U.S. for the first time in 2.5 years. And that also means moving in with my parents.
After having sailed Elements from Florida, through the Caribbean, up to the Azores, and then the Arctic Circle of Norway down to the UK...we...

Which did we choose, the Schionning Arrow 1360? Or the Max Cruise 42 SC?
After much debate, we finally make the decision of which catamaran we're going to build, beginning this December.
For more information, take a look at both of our choices!

This year my birthday was spent enjoying our last full 24 hours on our boat before we handed her over to the new owner and walked away forever.
I could make this post all sad, and talk about how I was kicked out of my home on my birthday....but since I as...

While in the Helford River, we knew that we were getting Elements scheduled for a survey in Falmouth, and if she sold, this would be our last time out fully enjoying the cruising life. No schedules, just bumming around with friends, and sitting around enj...
There's a heavy North Atlantic storm blowing over us, and our neighbor's anchor chain wrapped right around ours!
We prepare ourselves for a restless night as we know a bad storm with sustained winds in the mid 30's and above will be blowing over us. But ...
Does our boat do well drying out at low tide? We'll pretty much find out!!
We chose the spot we anchored in because we knew we could get in with a shallow draft, but what we were not expecting was for the tide to fall so low that we'd be sitting in 2 fee...
We can't hold this news in any longer ... WE'VE SOLD ELEMENTS!! Without ever officially listing her, we've had a few interested buyers. There was one person in particular who was sure this was going to be his new boat, and we wanted to make sure that hap...

With crystal clear waters and white sand beaches, one might think we're in the Bahamas....instead of much further north in England.
After arriving to the island of St. Agnes, Matt and go on a circumnavigation, and at times are hard pressed to tell if we'r...
We wanted to work our way west along the coast of England, but when some good north winds came along, we chose to ride them 90 miles to the Isles of Scilly. There's a notorious spot called The Lizard, where if you time the tides wrong, you're looking at v...
It's always all about HER. The most important crew member on board, and the one that always needs the most attention. And it's our job to keep that little furball happy.
We do a lot of exploring from where we are anchored in the River Lynher in Cornwall...
First we thought we'd be leaving the marina at the beginning of April, but after COVID, that idea was pushed to mid-May. Well, while day sails were allowed, it wasn't until July 4th that cruising became permitted again and we were let out of lockdown to b...
It's time to get a real feel for sailing on a performance catamaran in the size range we're looking at - between 42-45 ft. This week we find ourselves on something just slightly larger, a Dazcat 1495 named Hissy Fit.
For our day on the water, we try to ...
The good news is, our boat has been released from lock-down, and we are now able to cruise full time on the coast of England. The bad news is, for all the plans and back-up plans we've been making for the year, we can't seem to achieve any of them.
