Wasting our Time Sailing the World | S04E30
One of the most surprising aspects of living on our 30 foot sailboat and sailing off-grid as often as possible is the amount of time it takes to do even the simplest tasks like washing our dishes. In this episode we go through our pre-departure routine con...
Digital Nomads | Making Videos in the Middle of Nowhere | S04E31
They say you should never sail on a schedule, but juggling off-grid sailing and a YouTube channel means that we have to be extra regimented to make sure we’re able to maintain our weekly videos. This week we leave one of our favorite anchorages yet to r...
Civilization is Overrated | OFF-GRID Sailboat Life | S04E32

Living OFF GRID during CORONAVIRUS | S04E34

A Change of Pace | S04E35

PIRACY at Anchor… Are we in DANGER? S04E39
Even though it’s statistically unlikely to experience piracy at anchor or to be held up at gunpoint on our sailboat, crime against sailors is a reality and does happen to unlucky sailors all around the world. As we explore new places, how do we decide wh...

Sailors Living off the Sea on a Remote Island | S04E43

This is a BIG problem 😧 | S06E02
