We Bought a Boat! | Vision 444 Catamaran
After months of dreaming, planning, and searching… we finally bought a boat! 🥳 This episode is packed with all the wild and wonderful moments that led up to closing on our new Vision 444 catamaran — our floating home for the next chapter of our sailing adventures.
We kicked things off with a thrilling airboat ride through the Everglades 🐊, then dove into the intense process of boat surveys, rigging inspections, and test sail. From the highs to the hiccups (spoiler: we got sideswiped by another boater 😳), this was a week to remember.
We officially closed escrow and took the keys (figuratively) to our beautiful new catamaran. Our first sail didn’t go quite as planned thanks to rough seas, but the day was saved by an unexpected submarine sighting that left us speechless. 🚢👀
Now the real fun begins — getting her ready to head south ahead of hurricane season. We can't wait to share the journey with you!

Maybe the Dream Was Never About Sailing
Maybe the dream was never about escaping real life. Maybe it was about having more say in how we lived it. The grocery runs, broken alternators, school days and everyday responsibilities didn't disappear when we moved onto a sailboat. We just chose a different place to build our life. A lif...
Some Problems Follow You Across Oceans
We inherited our alternator problems when we bought Big Lost in Florida—and somehow, they've traveled with us through the Caribbean, across the Panama Canal, over the Pacific, and all the way to French Polynesia. We've fixed things. Broken things. Learned things. Taken steps forward and a...
