Maybe BIGGER ISN'T BETTER? The LITTLE SISTER of the AMAZING Leopard 48 really packs a PUNCH and delivers TONS of features in a AFFORDABLY COMPACT cat. But are the overall space and features enough to topple the current leader? Step aboard with us for a fu...
Will it SINK?! Will it DISMAST?! Will it CRUMBLE to DUST?! WHO CARES, just look at ALL THIS SPACE!! Okay, so the BULKHEAD issue has been THOROUGHLY covered. But now that it's known, what does that mean for these boats on the 2nd hand market and what SHOUL...
Our CATAMARAN SEARCH is in FULL GEAR and we're working hard to prepare OUR BOAT FOR SALE as well. It's a TON of stress just like ANY BIG MOVE or LIFE CHANGE. And while making that HUGE NEXT STEP happen is our primary focus and objective, we can't let it ...
We start BIG with our USED CATAMARAN REVIEW SERIES with the AMAZING Leopard 48. Is this the PERFECT USED CRUISING CAT in this price category? Step aboard with us for a full detailed tour AND REVIEW complete with CATEGORIZED SCORING. This is the first of...
CECILIA is FOR SALE! And we're on the hunt for a USED CATAMARAN! But how on EARTH do we DO THIS while living aboard in the CARIBBEAN? As we take the first few official steps of this daunting process, the STRESS and GRAVITY of how hard this might be real...
We're SAD to announce...CECILIA is FOR SALE! But even though it will BREAK our HEARTS to watch Cecilia go, CHANGE is GOOD and BIG CHANGES are taking place for us. And we're SO EXCITED (and scared and nervous and STRESSED) for those changes. ;-) If you've ...
Sometimes you can TELL you're being SEDUCED...but when it's by an EXOTIC BEAUTY like this, why would you RESIST?! LOL. We've had our sights on MARTINIQUE since we began this journey and FINALLY, after a gruelling 400 mile passage, we land on her welcomin...
It's our LONGEST PASSAGE in a while, and it shapes up to be GRUELING. We've done this enough to know to EXPECT the UNEXPECTED, but we also know there are a few things YOU CAN COUNT ON. And knowing these things can make the UNexpected much less jarring. ...
It's NO SECRET that boat life can be CHALLENGING. Sometimes the little difficulties STACK UP in a short period. But it's also filled with AMAZING MOMENTS that are more than up to the task of balancing out the trials and tribulations. Enjoy!! And be sur...
Sometimes THIS LIFE IS AMAZING. We find ourselves among BEAUTIFUL ISLANDS with INCREDIBLE SAILING and STIMULATING SIGHTS. And we also know it all like the BACK OF OUR HAND. We think we may have truly found our "home base" for the first time in 3 YEARS. ...
We start to wonder if we've RIPPED OUR BOAT APART for NOTHING. This NAGGING ISSUE has been an EYESORE for the ENTIRE TIME we've owned our boat. But we had NO IDEA how to repair it. FINALLY, we figured it out...but of course it's NOWHERE NEAR as simple a...
It's one of MANY sailors' NIGHTMARES. You're in a FOREIGN COUNTRY and not only does your BOAT GO MISSING, but your FAMILY AS WELL. Lots of scenarios jockey for attention in your mind as you struggle to decide what on earth to do. But if you're lucky, yo...
Our BEST memories DESTROYED. We're NOT ALLOWED on this island, but it means TOO MUCH to us not to GO ANYWAY. It's been 8 LONG YEARS since we last saw this place, the place our cruising history truly began. And in that time IRMA also happened. Not much ...
Are you SICK of the COLD and SNOW? Or just having no access to a BOAT? We're here to help. :-). You see, we're in the BRITISH VIRGIN ISLANDS with no plans for anything but SUN, SAND, SEA, BIKINIS, RUM, REPEAT. If you've never been, you'll soon understan...
No place we've sailed has had such SPECIAL MEANING as the one were about to sail to. It's where we we MARRIED 8 years ago and for over 2 years we've been dreaming of returning aboard our own boat. But due to some pretty extreme (and many would say unreas...
Cruising the CARIBBEAN has lots of UPS and DOWNS, sometimes ALL AT ONCE! As we make headway with some recent BOAT ISSUES, we maybe get a little cocky. What better time to get KNOCKED DOWN A PEG by a seemingly simple maneuver. But it's all about learning...
Over a YEAR ago, our GENERATOR became a $15,000 PAPERWEIGHT. Now, tons of STRESS and WAY too many $$$ later, the saga finally concludes. The difficult decision has ALWAYS been - how much do we need this? And how much money is it worth to try and resurre...
We've had WEEKS of random DIFFICULTIES followed by some BAD LUCK, all of which have ADDED to already growing EXPENSES. These things happen to everyone, and out here they seem to come in waves. And when getting things done and just GETTING things is alrea...
Things can get DICEY when anchoring next to MEGA YACHTS and CRUISE SHIPS. But it's NOT always PRISTINE anchorages and remote, desolate BEACHES that define the SAILING LIFE. For us, a good dose of METRO ANCHORING works wonders at times. When you're out he...
2 PRIMARY ASPECTS make this life enjoyable. And BOTH things FEED each other to keep this crazy life working. Without ONE, the other suffers and vice versa. This week we take you on an INCREDIBLY DICEY anchoring, along with one of the best bio-bays in th...
SAILING PURISTS often look at CRUISING with a slight air of DISDAIN, especially when that cruising involves MOTORING. How much motoring is too much? When do you STOP being a sailor at all? And does it matter? We began as pure sailors and soon discovere...
As humans we're often GUILTY of TAKING LIFE FOR GRANTED. Even though we live this life to escape that cycle, it still gets its grips on us sometimes. But sometimes it just takes a holiday and a few fortunate events to snap us out of it, and we're back to...
After our CIRCUMNAVIGATION of PUERTO RICO, we realized a LOT of our favorite memories never made the cut. But WE still thought you might want a look at them. So here is a compilation of fun footage you've NEVER seen and our reasons why some great footage...
