No episode this week, but join us tonight to chat about our project list for Atticus II and our upcoming cruising goals!
This week we experience a couple of major fails, due in large part to our own shortcomings. In the end we’re still one step closer to understanding our new boat and casting the lines, so we’ll call this a tiny victory in the meantime ;)

We hit a couple of road blocks this week as we struggle to get to know our new sailboat and try to get it ready to leave the dock. We deal with our diesel heater and fridge failing, we complete some difficult engine work, and we ask ourselves if we made th...
Our most immediate goal right now is to get Atticus II to a more affordable location (probably North Carolina) where we can begin our mini-refit to transform our boat from a weekend cruiser to an off-grid expedition sailboat. In order to leave the dock, w...

We fall in love and put an offer on a Pacific Seacraft 40. Our offer is accepted, so all that’s left to secure our new boat is a survey, sea trial and rig inspection. We’re super nervous but excited to take what could be our new home out on the water ...

What makes a Bluewater Sailboat? Why haven’t we looked at catamarans or modern production boats? Are we limiting our options too much by only looking a...
Buying a Used Sailboat Boat Series
Last week we fell head over heels for the Valiant 42 and put a low-ball offer on one that’s just outside of our budget. We still need a plan B in case our offer is rejected, so fingers crossed this Pacific Seacraft 40...
After falling in love with the Valiant 42, we decide to check out the Queen V Berth layout, which we also love. We put an offer on a sailboat, and meanwhile Bernie takes us around the boatyard to teach us about sailboat hull design. Fingers crossed that we...
Buying a Used Sailboat Boat Series
Based on all of our research, this boat has the potential to check all of our boxes, so the day has come to jump aboard and see how it actually feels! Fingers crossed…. This could be the one!

Buying a Used Sailboat Boat Series
We’ve heard so many great things about Swedish sailboats, and in particular that the Najad 370 manages to squeeze in a lot of interior accommodations in a small space, so we’re checking it out this week to see how w...
Buying a Used Sailboat Boat Series
This week we’re checking out a Shannon 43, the biggest sailboat on our list, to see if a boat with three cabins would be better suited for our sailing family. This huge, beautiful boat is an example of a classic Amer...
Buying a Used Sailboat Boat Series
This week we’re checking out a boat that already has 1 circumnavigation under its belt, seems to be in near perfect condition, and has a couple very unique design characteristics that we’re excited about. It’s no...
Buying a Used Sailboat Boat Series
Last week we saw a boat in perfect condition that was too small, so this week we’re checking out a Tayana Vancouver 42 because we’ve heard great reviews about it’s sailability and huge interior. Join us as we figu...
Buying a Used Sailboat Boat Series
The Pacific Seacraft 37 has been at the top of our list for Atticus II based on our research so far. Today we finally get to see it in person. This Pacific Seacraft has a unique story-- although it was built in 1988, the...
We spend our last tearful day on Atticus packing her up and making sure she’ll be safely tucked away while we fly back to the USA to begin our boat hunt for Atticus II. Jordan struggles with renewing his passport, and we narrow down our criteria for what...

We’re getting closer with each day to our goal of sailing Atticus across the Pacific Ocean. In this episode we enjoy our last anchorage before arriving at Shelter Bay Marina, where we will stage to transit the Panama Canal. Jordan geeks out on some pirat...
The weather takes a turn for the worse on our second night in Escudo De Veraguas. What started out as the most beautiful anchorage in our sailing experience has quickly become an anchorage from hell!

We decided to sail around the world 6 years ago after hearing and reading cliché sailor stories about sailing to remote islands, eating the freshest sushi while underway, living off of what we catch and building epic bonfires on deserted beaches with othe...
