Some expenses are SO ESSENTIAL that without them YOU'RE DONE. Or at the very least you're LIMPING ALONG and SACRIFICING SAFETY. Well one of those expenses has been dogging us for months and getting worse every time we're called on to use it. A windlass ...
This life can be HARD. But we don't let WORK RULE. The FUN SIDE of CRUISING is what we're all about this week. Often the GOOD TIMES roll in as a TIDAL WAVE right in the midst of a swamp of boat projects and tedium. When these opportunities arrive, ESPEC...
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...
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...
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. ...
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...
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...
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...
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'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...

Thanks for watching SailA...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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 ...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
