We spend a few days installing our new Isotherm Cruise 130 fridge which the full installation can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S9kUy-ZEoh4.
We then set about trying to fill our fridge using tips from a local fisherman that Adam has becom...
This Episode represents the more technical version of our new Fridge (the Isotherm Cruise 130 Elegance) installation. Adam really did pretty much have to tear apart my kitchen to make this massive rig fit in the counter face.
We didn't want those of you ...
In this weeks episode we go through a VERY wide range of emotions! We flip flop between extreme frustration and extreme cheer and relief. Well at least Khiara was relieved... In a nutshell, we have put days and days of blood sweat and tears into getting t...
Well this is what boat life is meant to be like! We set off from Morne Rouge in Grenada to Rhonde Island, a remote and uninhabited island north of the mainland. After last week's cutless bearing scare (check out the video here: ) we're trying to use our en...
We left the beautiful Ronde Island to sail north to Carriacou. A few days after arriving, we arranged to catch up with a new friend, Trevor Robertson, who has many sailing accomplishments under his belt and who we have persuaded to spare his time for an in...
In this weeks episode we obviously hauled our boat assuming that if it Tropical Storm Gonzalo was upgraded into a hurricane, we would prepared and strapped down. The weather man wasn't on top form this time and it turned into blue skies and a mild 10 knot...
After having the boat on the hard for over a week, Adam gets offered to be crew in a local regatta so takes a break from boat work for the day.
After getting to the regatta he doesn't find a spot on a racing boat but does manage to make his way onto the o...
After splashing back in the water from a recent haul out, we decide that our cutlass bearing replacement has solved our strange underwater noise problem that we were having.
The next day, overdue for some fun, we take part in a Cruisers Regatta. Put toget...
We’ve been back in the water a few days but have only gone for a race on Adrianna1, so it’s time to get some water flowing under the hull and hoist the sails again.
We left from Tyrell bay in Carriacou to Anse la Roche, an anchorage on the northern si...
We cover a few questions in this week's Q&A:
00.45 - How do you find good internet while sailing the Caribbean?
2.33 - Have we upped our camera game?
4.09 - If we had just enough cash, what fun and seaworthy projects would we do on the boat?
6.43 - Ho...
In this episode we got yet another taste of boat life at it finest! We finally made the journey to Saline island off the coast of Carriacou, Grenada and it did not disappoint! We had sailed passed this island at least 5 times during our time in Grenada. Al...

01:24 What is that weather station you have?

This week we left beautiful Saline island on the east coast of Carriacou bound for Tyrell Bay. While hauling anchor, I had a mishap while on anchor duty and had to get saved by Adam.
We anchored for a few days to catch a weather window that was perfect fo...
In this weeks episode we go through some stereotypical Sailboat maintenance shenanigans, and by this we mean, trying to fix something and end up breaking it. Unfortunately for us we discovered the repair had not worked at a very inopportune moment, under s...
In this weeks Q&A we answer the following questions:
1.56 - How is our countertop holding up?
3.39 - How many times have we hit our head on our bimini bolts?
5.11 - Why did we not buy a boat in Australia?
7.14 - Do we ever come across shipping contain...
The sailboat cruising lifestyle is often described as a dream and in a great many ways, it is. What we gain in freedom however, we give up in convenience. So when mail time comes, it’s usually a build up of 6 months worth of of packages and two very exci...
Last year in St Martin we began the process of Re-Rigging our sailboat in preparation for crossing to Bermuda. We did all of the work ourselves and used Sta-lok fittings on the lower ends of the stays once they were cut to length. At the time we could only...
Installing a Serpentine belt on a Balmar-6 series 100 Amp alternator and a Dinghy Repair for good measure!
After our brief stay in the marina we noticed we were pretty deficient in quality docking lines so we decided it was high time to upgrade our ragge...
We’ve made many mistakes since day 1 and are still making (and sharing) them to this day… possibly more so than any other sailing channel! So we’ve put together our top 6 lessons that we’ve learnt from new boat owners to three years down the track....
Boat life is not all sunshine, rainbows and endless beaches. During rainy season in the Caribbean, it often gets.. well, rainy! We show what it's really like to live aboard a sailboat full time - even on the stormy days!
It differs a lot from being back o...
A lot happens in this week's episode!
I guess Adam summed it up in this episode when we said that there was lots of things to do on the boat that he kept starting, and not finishing... so instead he had a haircut!
But our main problem of the hour was a b...
Last month we pulled into a marina for 3 days to complete an ongoing rigging project to replace all of our stays. While in the marina, we installed all but one - the forestay.
It was finally time to install it and the best marina we could do it in was 25...
In this weeks episode we take the Falcon dockside here in Carriacou, Grenada to tackle one of the last parts of our DIY rigging overhaul, the forestay. After some interesting maneuvering to get alongside the dock and some confusion amongst the line handler...
The last piece of our rigging arrives in Grenada and I set off on the daily ferry to go and collect it.
Having a lot of time to kill while waiting for the return ferry that evening, I got up to a bit of mischief... all in the name of giving back to the co...
Only 3 days after finishing up our rigging we decided to give it a good test… a 360 mile test sail in fact in St Martin.
We were both very excited to undertake e a multi day passage and chose a longer passage mainly for this reason. Our other deciding f...
In this week's episode we finish our 350 mile sail to St Maarten. A bout of sea sickness floored me during the second day but on the third and final day, I'm back on the team and raring to go... all in time to just arrive! We both say how much we wish for ...
Bringing you more lessons that we've learnt throughout our 3 years of sailing. Our first video, found here: was the start of our tips... until we ran out of time! These are the best of the rest.
We hope you gain some value from these stories and learnt f...
In this episode, the day after we arrived in St Martin we got a message from Adams childhood friend who is crewing on a mega yacht. He said he'd be arriving into St Martin the very next day and that we were invited to check out his workplace... a 62m (203f...
This episode was supposed to be a nice and easy holiday construction project. However, in true Millennial Falcon fashion it did not go to plan. In addition to finding a LOT more rotted wood than we had hoped, the weather over the Christmas holidays turned ...
This week we finished up what was meant to be a small boat job - a spring clean of the aft cabin bed and the v-berth.
We ripped out all of our cabin sole, water heater, batteries, rotten wood and more and started from scratch. Painting a clean, white spac...
We finally put the tools down and spent the afternoon sailing to Grand Case for a bit of beach time. The first evening we treated ourselves to a huge (but cheap!) grill and the next day dove right in to our mini holiday... literally, as we went for a snork...
We had to get back to doing a few boat jobs after all of our fun and frivolity of last episode and we introduce what we think is our biggest investment on the boat yet… a Hydrovane.
Adam has been raving about this piece of gear for at least two years a...
We’ve been gone for a few weeks but are back to update on our progress and location! We also have some other Q&A questions for you too…
1. Where have we been this past few weeks?
2. Do we have a live radar for our location? Check out sailingmillen...
Q&A Time! We answer some of your best questions for us…
1:00 - How did we break the Hydrovane?
3:20 - How much of a head start do you need for a sailing YouTube channel?
4:56 - What are our top 3 locations in the Caribbean?
7:59 - What are our passa...
This week an exciting package arrived that we’d been waiting for for a while.
We enthusiastically rented a car and headed to the shipping centre to pick it up... only to be told it was still on a boat heading to St Martin and would arrive in the next fe...
This was one of those months where nothing came together.
The Christmas winds were in full swing in the Caribbean and we were stuck in the somewhat unsheltered outer anchorages of (not so) sunny St Martin.
After a month of relentless 30 knot winds, the...
