As we visit a RAIN FOREST FARM high in the Grenada JUNGLE CANOPY, we discover the inner workings of friendships among cruising sailors. The proprietor provides farmers markets in several locations in Grenada which are especially helpful to the cruiser com...
NOTHING is SIMPLE on a LIVEABOARD SAILBOAT! Groceries, Fuel, Laundry...here's the REAL DEAL!
This week we get away from the sun, sand, and beaches (briefly) to show you how the simplest of tasks take on so many complications in the sailboat life. Even f...
WE never thought we'd get the WILLIES UNDER WATER, but this dive site changed all that.
This week we bust out of the marina and head for the amazing Molinere Underwater Sculpture Park for some snorkeling and free diving. How do we do this with a toddler ...
MAN VS. LOBSTER - Who Will WIN?? And Saving A SINKING DINGHY! This week we struggle to save our quickly deteriorating dinghy as multipel leaks and failures begin popping up. With few options to buy a new one here, we're trying to limp ol Nacho along as l...
When we first sailed to Grenada for hurricane season, there were a couple things on our list that we were most looking forward to. In this video we tick BOTH off the list! (Though we would repeat both later on in our stay). Grenada is famous for waterfal...
SOMEHOW, our NEW LIFE PLAN turned out to be the perfect escape from the EVENTS of 2020. We left to SAIL THE WORLD in 2019, and then... And like most of the world, it was definitely far from smooth sailing for quite a while.
Thanks so lockdowns and trave...
Our FIRST NIGHT in Carriacou had serious DRAMA and NOT a lot of SLEEP. It was a rainy and stormy passage, followed by a squall-filled night at anchor in Tyrell Bay. Things got dicey when the boats around us started dragging anchor! Later we get to do so...
Hey all! No regular episode this week, being Christmas AND since we just got out of quarantine in SVG and only got to Bequia yesterday! However, we wanted to wish all our subscribers and viewers a very happy holidays and thank you so much for watching th...
In SAILBOAT LIFE, our DINGHY is our CAR. And our "car" is on its LAST LEG. We bought Nacho before we really knew what we wanted in a dinghy, so we intentionally went used and cheap, knowing what didn't know. Now, over a year of cruising later, not only ...
HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Loren! To celebrate we TREAT OURSELVES to a couple weeks at the beautiful boutique marina at Le Phare Bleu! Complete with a ship/bar/restrooms, a pool that's open to all cruisers, and a restaurant with some excellent happy hours...will ...
The FREAKS come out AT NIGHT...and cruise around on dinghies BEGGING for CANDY! This week it's Halloween in Woburn Bay. Loren stretches her makeup and costume muscles for her favorite holiday of the year and we show you all the festivities from the Le Ph...
When a macerator GOES DOWN and you can't pump out...THEN WHAT? Well, you're about to find out and it's not pretty. Seriously, you've been warned!! Also, we show you a bit more of Le Phare Bleu and finally head back out to the anchorage in anticipation o...
HOLIDAYS are HARD. THOUSANDS of MILES from FAMILY, even harder. This week we're celebrating Thanksgiving, but having not seen our families in over a year due to Covid travel issues, it's sort of a melancholy time. But we soon remember what an unusual lif...
Painful on our NOSES and our WALLETS! As we gear up to finally leave Grenada and begin our journey north through the Caribbean islands, we begin the process of hoop jumping. Travelling between islands is far more complicated in these days of Covid, which...
Leaving GRENADA and entering ST. VINCENT and the GRENADINES...which means more hoops to jump through. It's well worth it, but these days it's definitely a bit confusing and stressful. To leave Grenada and enter St. Vincent and the Grenadines, we had to h...
Do we have ENOUGH MONEY for this?! And will we ever be RELEASED from QUARANTINE?! With every day we sit and wait for our PCR test results, we start to wonder! What should have been a 2-3 day stay in quarantine while checking into St. Vincent and the Gre...
After SEVEN DAYS in QUARANTINE, The RACE is ON to make it to BEQUIA. It's already Christmas Eve and we have a tree to put up and some presents to wrap! We had quire a few friends with the same plan waiting for us in Bequia and a 4 year old eager to see h...
We had found a pandemic-free oasis of sorts in Grenada and then SVG, but it wasn't meant to last. To their credit, these islands take even small outbreaks very seriously. So with the advent of a new semi-lockdown in St. Vincent and the Grenadines, we dec...
What's next for SailAway?! Where do we go from here?! We catch you up on our most recent passage, life in Antigua, and our cruising plans for the future. Enjoy!! And be sure to SUBSCRIBE for WEEKLY CONTENT EVERY FRIDAY! Cheers!!
Thanks for watching Sai...
Is this TOO GOOD to be true?! For the first time in the last YEAR we find ourselves actually sailing...DOWN WIND! And what's that?! The waves are BEHIND US!! Okay, I'm being a little dramatic, but it truly has been a solid year of beating upwind virtua...
LIVING on a SAILBOAT FAR AWAY from large centers of civilization gives us the option of taking ourselves "out of the equation". With case counts rising in the more populated areas of St. Vincent and the Grenadines, we take advantage of our life style and ...
Nearly TWO YEARS AGO we SOLD EVERYTHING...then things got CRAZY. Since then we've been navigating a whole new cruising world much like everyone has had to figure our their own life situation. But so far, so good. We now find ourselves in Bequia, St. Vin...
The SailAway VIDEO RELEASE DAY is now on SUNDAY...at least for a trial period! After releasing our video last Sunday due to simply being a bit behind, we noticed some YouTube data that suggested Sunday might actually be a better release day for us in gene...
We found ISLAND PARADISE. But we CAN'T stay here FOREVER. In the midst of CHALLENGING travel restrictions, BEQUIA has been a LITERAL OASIS for us. But we didn't start this journey to NOT journey. So we're pointing Cecilia north and back into UNCERTAIN W...
From the base of a VOLCANO on the verge of ERUPTION, we embark on a very windy and rough 2 DAY and 2 NIGHT PASSAGE to Antigua. If we've learned one thing, it's that we can't pretend to be masters of mother nature. We may use the wind to our advantage and...
Sailboat life is all BALANCE. It's a lot of WORK, but the rewards come in many forms. It's often exhausting just getting to our destinations, then even more work maintaining our home and making enough money to keep it...but then the FUN starts! This wee...
The COST of cruising ESCALATES. We're faced with a BIG repair and an associated big price. Our generator gave out a few months ago...while it still ran, ever since a hard overheating, it wouldn't stay running more than a few minutes. We debate the neces...
We've CRUISED the CARIBBEAN for 2 YEARS!! We show you a complete DAY IN THE LIFE while we tell you the 10 BIGGEST LESSONS we've learned along the way. Enjoy!! And be sure to SUBSCRIBE for WEEKLY CONTENT EVERY FRIDAY! Cheers!!
Thanks for watching SailA...
We've sailed extended OCEAN PASSAGES and have OCEAN CROSSINGS in the works. But we've been told our boat isn't "BLUEWATER"...really?! This week we finally take you on a FULL TOUR of Cecelia inside and out while we explain our take on the "bluewater vs. p...
TRAVELING the WORLD on our SAILBOAT, we're also RAISING our 4 YEAR OLD while constantly on the move. WHAT"S IT LIKE to be raised at SEA and what's it like to do the raising? It's a life full of questions and doubts, but ultimately we think the rewards ec...
We Spend LOTS OF MONEY and EFFORT to keep the MOST BASIC THINGS operable on our boat. It's easy to forget that FUN and ATHLETIC things are every bit worth the investment too. On land, we had bikes, we went snowboarding, we went to the gym, we ran, we play...
Every BEAUTIFUL island, every PRISTINE beach, the AMAZING friends we've made, all the INS and OUTS of every country we visit....sooner rather than later we have to leave it behind. At least IF we want continue to visit and explore more and more places. W...
What's our PROCESS for LEAVING ONE COUNTRY and SAILING to the next one? After several months in Antigua, it's finally time to be moving on to St. Martin. But once you feel at home in a place, it can be a melancholy process getting ready to leave. What s...
ESCAPING MATERIALISTIC HABITS isn't usually that hard on a SAILBOAT. Down island, you don't have much choice...you either adapt to what's available or you go home. NOT an option for us! And we've done quite well enjoying local food, unusual brands, etc. ...
BOAT PROJECTS, Shopping, AMAZING Restaurants, and BEAUTIFUL Scenery...the St. Martin VORTEX has us firmly in its grasp. Cruisers often get "stuck" in this slice of paradise; after months of sailing down island where everything costs an arm and a leg and s...
After checking into PR and dodging Hurricane ELSA, our regular video schedule got away from us. Instead of rushing a video to production, we decided it had been a while since we'd spoken to you all LIVE. So tune in! We'll field any and all questions, fi...
