Time for a HUGE shopping spree! Episode 18 #boatlife #catamaran
If you've ever tried to complete a project or do a repair in a developing nation, you'll understand the challenges. We are firm believers in carrying what you need with you so you never have to cancel an adventure. That means carrying spares and supplies to cover whatever breakdown might occur. Three weeks in Ft. Lauderdale gives us the opportunity to stock up! We hit hardware stores, office supply stores, marine supply stores, rigging shops, dive shops, and even a book store. ROAM is not up to our quality standards, and things are breaking constantly, so we stocked up enough varied supplies to cover every contingency we could think of. Come shopping with us!

WE'RE GERI AND SHAWN. A couple travelers out chasing the horizon, meeting the people, and capturing it to share with you.
We’ve chosen to Roam the world by boat because, let’s face it, the most interesting path is rarely a straight line.
As we learn to let go of our American drive to finish, and embrace the meandering routes across islands, oceans, continents, and people, we hope to gain a better sense of our world and our place in it.
The path won’t always be comfortable or easy to find but, it will always #roam

Sailing Roam
👋 Hi, we’re Geri 👩🏻⚕️(a retired nurse) and Shawn 🤓 (a not retired technologist). We’ve gone on the greatest adventure of our lives instead of living the comfortable and predictable suburban world we left behind. Living aboard Roam, our cruising catamaran, we explore and immerse ourselves in new cultures, do boat repairs in exotic places, and get up to all kinds of shenanigans. Roam isn’t just the name of our boat, it’s kind of a philosophy. We’re not taking the shortest routes or using a formula to sail around the world. We’re not in a hurry either. We’re meeting the people, seeing the places and getting distracted by things we find interesting along the way. We’re unconventional and we’re living the best life we can imagine! Join us as we turn our 11-year old catamaran into our perfect adventure platform and see what’s over the next horizon. We can’t wait to meet you wherever you are!

2 Years Later… ROAM Is Finally Back in the Water Ep. 72 #sailboatrefit
Two years ago, we hauled ROAM out of the water expecting a six-month refit. This week, we finally put her back where she belongs. Getting to splash day wasn't nearly as straightforward as we'd hoped. In fact, we were supposed to relaunch two weeks earlier...
We Built Our Own Lithium Battery Bank (And It Was Way Harder Than Expected) Ep.71 #sailboatrefit
After years of planning, researching, sourcing parts, and redesigning, we're finally building one of the most important systems on ROAM: our DIY lithium house battery bank. Instead of purchasing pre-packaged marine batteries, we imported individual 2.3-vo...

Clamptite for the WIN! #sailboatrefit
We've exchanged our traditional hose clamps for custom stainless steel wire clamps made with the Clamptite Tool. It's a gamechanger. Now we only carry a tool, a roll of heavy wire, and a roll of light wire, and a select few traditional hose clamps for plac...
Last Day??? #sailboatrefit
One thing you can count on is the boatyard changing the plan with no notice whether you're ready or not. We were supposed to splash tomorrow morning, and instead they're putting us in at 6pm with the evening high tide. We still have a lot to do, so that's ...
