#tinyhouse #boatlife #offgrid This week we see our new vessel Merewether II for the first time (since we bought her), and to tell you 'we are excited' would be an understatement. She is so much bigger then we remember her to be, she has SO much potentia...

#tinyhouse #boatlife #offgrid Well crew we've done it again. We've put ourselves in another hot and down right stressful situation. While stuck in a very expensive yard in Indonesia we wait to get placed back into the water so we can make our way to Mal...

The situation we face this week, could be the most helpless we've ever felt throughout our three years on the ocean, Purchasing our salvage sailboat, an Amel Super Maramu 53, in Indonesia. There is a 300Nm motor we have to complete in order to make it to ...

This week we are in a dire situation with no working gearbox we have to find a way to cover the 90NM to Pangkor where we will be hauled out of the water and our repairs will start. After some negotiations we manage to strike a deal and get a boat sent up t...

After buying a half destroyed Amel Super Maramu, burning out the gear box on our 300NM motor to the refit yard, then being adrift for hours to being rescued by a transport vessel. Then attempting to push our broken vessel 16NM with a dingy out of port. Tod...

After everything going wrong that possibly could in previous weeks we finally have made it to the boat yard for repairs to start. Hauled out we look to strip everything away to be able to see what repairs need to be preformed. With the vessel's broken mast...

This week we take a dive deep into the engine room (when I say we, it's mostly Kieran, okey only Kieran). I am busy with other things, stay tuned. Kieran spends hours in the small room, taking the engine apart bit by bit. Finally understanding what has cau...

With our old engine out and our refit well underway this week we get dirty. The engine room has been neglected for some time and it becomes my mission to bring it back to its former glory. Isabelle makes some solid headway with the bilges. While we both di...

Getting stuck into various jobs in many locations, we're attacking on all fronts of this boat at once. First up we try to understand how to reposition the auto pilot drive so that it doesn't obstruct our future full sized queen bed we aim to put into the m...

Into the thick of it with this refit and we're still yet to see any sign of a dry season, or heaven forbid temperatures under 90 degree Fahrenheit. With all boats the structure is the most important thing to keep in good condition. This week after digging ...

Out with the mold, in with the new. Getting this old moldy, broken boat back on her feet involves completely replacing some of the interior that was unsalvageable. Doing jobs for the first time we make mistakes which becomes quite evident. Learning how to ...

The biggest news of our lives, yes you read that correctly. Buying a new boat, getting engaged, gets really small if you compare it to what we want to share with you this week. On top of that, while most big jobs are underway, we're also tackling smaller ...

After four long months on the hard rebuilding our Amel super Maramu, we take a much needed break and visit a tourist island for the day. All four of us! We also pack up, as work and babies awaits. But do not worry, we will be back on Merewether before you ...

The Clipper round the world ocean race is a crew funded race that just happened to make port in Newcastle, Australia, where we have been enjoying our Christmas and new year. The race is made up of eight legs and the crew can choose a single leg of the race...
