Our Lady Defiant
We live on our J-133, named Defiant, and sail along the California coast when we're bored of sailing in our home port of San Francisco Bay. We love to race, as well as cruise, so we bought a boat that does both, and we use it for both regularly! We also have a cat, named Whiskey, who we bring along with us for all the adventures.

😗 We almost didn’t fit!! But did we foul Ventana? #ourladydefiant #yachtracing #sailboat #
In this start of the YRA Jr. Waterhouse offshore race we just barely squeezed ourselves into the start line at the boat end! It looks like Ventana was pinching just a bit, so I don't think we fully barged, but I also think they could have put us in a bad s...
Folding Sails is Giant Origami (how to avoid divorce and keep friends while folding sails)

Sewing a Torn Mainsail #ourladydefiant #sailboat #liveaboardlife #boat #sailing
We got a tear in the mainsail along the luff. You don't want to let these get away from you for too long or they start to open up even more, so I did a "temporary" patch on it before going back up the rugged coast of central California.

Sunset Spinnaker Hoist #ourladydefiant #sailboat #boat #spinnaker
We love to go sail our boat, so even when we're in Catalina Island secure at a mooring, we still like to drop the mooring from time to time and go for a sail! Especially on evenings as beautiful as this one.
The moment the sun went down over Catalina Island #ourladydefiant #sailboat #spinnaker #boat
We love flying the spinnaker, especially with it back-lit like this, and as the sun goes down. It was a beautiful summer night in Catalina.

Nature’s Jet Engine: The Blow Hole! #ourladydefiant #blowhole #sailboat #boat #santacruzisland
The force behind this jet of air and water comes from the strong ocean swells pushing up into the bottom of a solid rock cavern. It's captivating to watch these two elements that are both so strong challenge each other in this way.
They used to squeeze 30 boats at a time in this anchorage!? #ourladydefiant #sailboat #boat
We had an awesome 4 days out at Santa Cruz Island. Pelican Bay was beautiful, we got to see some family, some friends, and made some new friends along the way. This place has always been popular (for good reason), but people were telling us that back in th...

Inside a Sailboat rounding Pt. Sur the wrong way (Northbound) #ourladydefiant#sail #sailboat
It's amazing sometimes the contrast between how peaceful and protected you are down below on a boat, versus up on deck, and the change happens the split second you put your head outside. I love it and find it challenging at the same time.

Dirtbag AC: Server Rack Radiator as AC for a Sailboat #dirtbag #sail #sailboat #ourladydefiant #boat

Cat Might Be Dead After Sailing Up the California Coast. #ourladydefiant #cat #sailboat #boat
Whiskey the cat loves to sleep on jackets that are the same color as his fur, and while he doesn't always love to sleep on his back, when he does, it's a DEEP sleep, as you can tell by his half open eye.
Isolating our Keel with a Galvanic Isolator #galvaniccell #ourladydefiant #sailboat #boatelectrical
We just replaced our saildrive at the beginning of summer, and found recently that it was bonded to the keel and the AC grounding wires, which possibly also makes it part of the broader AC grounding system. We decided to isolate the saildrive from the bond...
