A honest look at the past year, not doing OK, and big plans for the future.

We are taking a break (and so should you) #106
One of the biggest misconceptions about the lifestyle that we chose, is that we live in a state of a permanent vacation. Now, there are as many ways to make a sailing life work as there are sailors out there, and when Ryan and I decided to cast off the lin...

ATLANTIC CROSSING: Overcoming the mental challenges of Ocean sailing. #103

ATLANTIC CROSSING: Losing our Satellite Communications in the middle of the Ocean #101
The one thing that is guaranteed to happen on an offshore passage this long, is that stuff is going to break. Our job before departure is to have a solid risk management plan, making sure that we either have redundancy in case of a critical system failure,...

Staging for an Atlantic Crossing: A tale of Stormy Seas, Learning Patience, and Rum Swizzle #99
When we first left Bonaire to sail across the Atlantic to the Azores, we never intended on stopping anywhere on the way. But after a serious week of beating into the wind, our bodies craved a break on land (as well as a burger and a beer) Our VHF broke a...

Sailing through the Mona Passage [Transatlantic, Stage 2] #97
We had not heard much about the Mona passage before we realized that there was no way we could exit East of Puerto Rico. But the fact that it has a name (let alone a reputation) should have been enough of a red flag. After three days of tiring upwind sai...

ATLANTIC CROSSING DAY-3 : This is getting slightly out of hand. #93
I could have made a video about how to organize and plan the perfect ocean crossing... But the reality is that the last days before departures are always a bit chaotic, and that's ok! So instead of making it look like something it isn't: here is a slice o...
