We're Jeff & Christin: a couple of 30-something Canadians (Vancouver) fixing up our old Hallberg Rassy 352 sailboat with the dream of exploring new lands, cultures and people. We traded in our corporate desk jobs for (what we think will be lol) a simpler life full of adventure and we hope you'll follow along with us as we quite literally stumble our way thru boat projects and eventually sail to the sun
We are not a how-to channel, more of a do-the-best-we-can type of channel 😂 We aim to show you the realities of living on a small sailboat, whether good or bad!

HURRICANE SEASON CAME EARLY! And with a BANG at that. These are the highest winds we've ever experienced, and were KINDA prepared - We couldn't find baguettes anywhere! Such a tragedy. Unfortunately, others weren't as prepared and we witnessed a boat casua...
FIBERGLASS DISASTER! We are working our butts off to get back in the water which means waking up at 4:30AM to lay fiberglass before the summer heat makes it unbearable and downright UNSAFE to continue working up on deck. But that comes with all sorts of pr...
Um, WE KINDA NEED THAT! We discovered the absolute worst case scenario - The support beam beneath the mast is ROTTEN. We can't sail like this! Time for yet another unplanned DIY project - Do you think we did a good job?

Is DIY always the way to go? MAYBE! Because sometimes, professionals SUCK! and that's just the plain simple truth. Jeff, aka Manual Man, is on the job, dissecting every part of our rig, finding problems, one thing after another....

The weather is getting colder and the boat projects are in full swing. Ever wonder what its like living on a small sailboat in Maryland in winter?? Are we crazy ?!
We tackle a mold problem in the aft cabin along with a few other projects including new radar, and assessing our dinghy outboard motor. PLUS we finally get out on the water for a sunset sail
The head in our old sailboat probably hasn’t been cleaned and/or upgraded in years!! We take everything apart, almost puke from the smells, clean her up and upgrade all the plumbing.
Our brand spankin new sails from Quantum Sails arrived which only means one thing: GO SAILING!!

Our time is running out to be in the USA. As Canadians, we are given an automatic travel visa for 6 months, but it’s proving not to be enough time to refit Joco and be on our way. Add in the c0ronavirus pandemic and it’s bye bye Joco :(

Because of C0vid19, we were forced to leave our sailboat in Maryland and travel back home to Vancouver British Columbia. After the mandatory 14 day quarantine, we busted out and started working again to fill up the cruising kitty. Unfortunately we ended up...
We had the opportunity to visit the Warehouse of Survitec, manufacturer of offshore and coastal life rafts in Richmond, BC. We had a tour of the facility and got to see the ins and outs of how these things work!! Hopefully we’ll never have to deploy one...
Thanks for tuning in to see what I come up with in the Galley! Having a quick grab and go snack is a must when you’re living, and travelling, on a boat. Even seasoned sailors can get queasy sometimes so having a quick somethin somethin to fill your tumm...

We’ve been towed (again) to a marina in North Carolina USA to hopefully get our problems fixed once and for all! Since we have asked the help of some professionals, we decided to take a much needed DAY OFF and go to the beach for a day of sun and sand.
