While in Luperon, we arranged for a driver and rented a car to explore some cool spots in Puerto Plata and Santiago. We'll show you some good spots to provision and how awesome the Parqueo Charcos Damajagua or 27 Waterfalls is. The waterfalls are amazing ...
We show you what the check-in process is like when arriving in the Dominican Republic by private vessel and what Luperon, Dominican Republic is actually like.
After reading negative reviews in the sailing community about Luperon Bay as of 2019, we were a ...
After 2.5 months in the Bahamas, we're sad to leave these crystal clear blue waters.
This week, we sail to Great Inagua. This is the first year that the Bahamas has implemented the requirement to check out of the country. According to Bruce van Sant's Pa...
Were sharing a quick little test you can perform to see if a fish may have ciguatera.
*Disclaimer* There’s no way to detect the presence of Ciguatera by smell, sight nor taste but we share a tip that was shared with us which seems to make sense to us an...
Hey everyone,
We sail from the Jumentos Cays, down to the Ragged Islands and an overnight sail to Crooked Island. We explore Bird Rock Lighthouse, mangroves, Turtle Sound and more. We spearfish, visit some flamingos and Travis encounters a little scare b...
Hey everyone, we've left Conception Island and make our way down sailing the Jumentos Cays. We stopped for a quick night over at Hog Cay, Long Island before making it Water Cay where we encountered a TON of sharks. We spear fish, Steph filet's a fish for...
Hey everyone, we've left Georgetown and the Exuma Cays and sail east towards Long Island, Bahamas and then sail up and over to Conception Island as we had a good 4 day window to explore the magical place!
We had a great time swimming with wild dolphins an...
Hey everyone,
We had a big blow coming into Georgetown so we tucked into Crab Cay Cove for more protection. While here, we explored the abandoned Crab Cay Resort, Sir William Ruins and found materials on the beach to make our very own instagrammable Jibse...
We've been in George Town for the past week and not every single day is super exciting. Sometimes the weather makes it a little unfavourable to be out in the water and it gets a bit too murky to snorkel.
We wanted to share what a typical day looks like a...
We’re cruising down the Southern Exuma Cays and pass through Lee Stocking Island, White Cay Bay and Leaf Bay Cay before arriving in the most popular cruising destination in the Bahamas - George Town, Great Exuma Island!
The Southern Exumas also have an...
During our stay at Rudder Cut Cay, which is David Copperfield’s private island and home to the underwater mermaid and piano sculpture, we had a bunch of fun learning to use our spear pole and catching lobster. A fellow Canadian sailor taught us how to e...
We had a great time in Staniel Cay. Steph tries doing some good old fashioned hand washing/boat laundry for the first time and then we head off to The Thunderball Grotto which really is a must see when cruising the Exuma Cays. The underwater cave system wa...
The Exuma Cays have 365 islands and it can be overwhelming when trying to plan where to visit without missing some of the must-sees. We would have loved to have been able to stop at every island, but stopped at select cays and anchorages in the northern E...
We knew that cruising during a pandemic would obviously bring a much different experience than visiting tourist hot spots pre-covid. Seeing it for ourself in Nassau where we visited destinations that are normally packed with people, having our windlass br...
13 hours? No problem, quick 3 hour sail? Oh was that an experience!
We had a very pleasant 13 hour sail crossing the Great Bahama Bank from North Bimini, Bahamas to Chub Cay, Berry Islands, Bahamas. What we thought was going to be a short quick 3 hour sa...
Jibsea has made it to The Bahamas!
Sailing where we can't arrive by car is a huge milestone for us and making it in time for Christmas is an added bonus and we're excited to be sharing this big moment.

After almost 3 weeks in Fort Lauderdale, we’re finally ready to sail across to the Bahamas. We apologize for the long video but we had a lot crammed into the time we spent here so hopefully you enjoy it anyway (and make it all the way to the end lol)!
I...
After what feels like forever going down the intracoastal water way and seemingly being unable to escape the cold, we've finally made it down to the sunshine state and our last stop in the United States before crossing to the Bahamas! (oh gosh, we're so cl...
After staying a week in Carolina Beach, NC to wait out some weather, we needed to make up some miles and was time for another big sail!
Unfortunately Steph got very sea sick and Travis was left to man JibSea all by his lonesome for 31 hours straight, wit...
Hey guys! We've had no issues with major shoaling while going down the ICW until entering North Carolina. After running aground a couple of times while entering areas that have shoaled pretty badly, you better bet we're keeping an extra close eye on those ...
*Whoops! Please ignore the intro where Travis references a raw water pump - He meant to say FRESH water pump!
As cruisers on a budget, we're always looking to DIY as much as we can. Here's how we changed the FRESH water pump on our Yanmar 4JHTE Diesel ...
If you’ve been following our journey since we left Canada, you may already know that we’ve been having some motor issues. A flooded engine and fuel starvation were on the list to repair while stopping in Chesapeake, Virginia.
[Where We Dropped Ancho...
Hey everyone, Steph and Travis here, continuing to make our way down south to escape the winter weather!
We continue south from New York City and head down to Cape May, NJ, around to Delaware Bay and up into Annapolis, MD.
Just before departing from At...
Hey everyone, as we continue our sail down south from Canada, our next stop down the Hudson River is The Big Apple!
Although we are on a tight budget while cruising, we managed to find the cheapest place to stay while in NYC for a week. This is definitel...
