Provisioning is a massive pain. It is tedious and takes days. However, it needs to be done. This Vlog is provisioning for offshore sailing, and sailing away from the USA.
It's not sailoing, so if you are expecting that come back in few weeks when we set o...
As we prepare to leave the USA and head offshore, the preparation work begins. We have so , so much to do after living on the boat for 6 months without saiing.
Today our attention turns to making sure our safety gear is working and in date.
Pyrotechnic f...
After 3 amazing weeks in Sri Lanka the time finally came to get myself back to Ruby Rose. So planes, trains and buses galore to get myself home.
I managed to stop off at the Miami boat show for a look about and a few drinks. Then back to Charleston to get ...
What are our plans for 2018 sailing season? What have we been up to and where are we going?
We get these questions on a daily from you amazing people, so I thought I'd make a video about it.
Spoiler alert: I have been surfing in SriLanka!!!! So, if you do...
The reason we decided to keep the boat in Charleston is that it is above the hurricane belt and famous for its mild winters.
Yeah, right.
Last week it snowed, and it snowed and we huddled down with a broken heating unit and tried to keep ourselves warm w...
This week we do a comparative review of the our new Sailrite sewing machine and the old workhorse Janome.
For those of you considering whether or not you need one, we hope we answer some important questions about the suitability for boats.
Thanks so much...
After last week's efforts to make the cockpit cushions, we finally gave into the inevitable and bought a Sailrite sewing machine! Nick drops a few f-bombs trying to assemble it (standard!) and once he finally gets it all in working order, he is able to mak...
Nick gives a ranty explanation of why we now bleep out our swearing on YouTube. Strap yourself in, people! There's a LOT of bleeping in these three short minutes. Enjoy.

This week we start the big project of making over our cockpit! We get a huge order from Sailrite and Nick starts the process by making some truly impressive box cushions for the cockpit.
As always, thanks so much for watching! Please subscribe, leave a c...
No, this isn't clickbait- we actually woke up at 4am to the sight of our dock underwater. Really terrifying! Watch this episode to find out what happened, what caused it and how it was resolved.

So our friends said "Lets go out on Sunday for a quiet drink".
"Brilliant" says I.
So we go out to a traditional South Carolina Oyster roast.
Wheres the harm in that eh?...............
Fast forward three hours, and I am totally b*lloxed. And, now i've ent...
Check out the accompanying blog post for more information!
We try and keep life simple while being as safe as possible, and therefore have whittled down the list of possible items down to what we feel is essential to our survival if we're ever in a situ...
So this week we try our hand at an unboxing episode....
Now we're living in America, we get access to Amazon again- so the marina office has been overflowing with packages for us as we descend into an online ordering frenzy. In this episode, we unbox som...
Welcome to Part Two of Nick's information session on essential boat tools and spares.
Nick goes through all the tools and spares we keep onboard, explaining our rationale behind each and includes a little bit of history as to how we came up with our list...
You ask, we deliver!
We have had so many questions from our lovely followers about what spares we keep onboard, and the type of tools we carry to deal with whatever boat maintenance comes up. For those of you who are interested in this kind of thing, watc...
Hey everyone!
First, yes I know we're still wearing sunglasses- we filmed this at the same time as part 1 (if you haven't seen that already- just go to our page and check it out!). Sorry- we'll take them off next time.
OKAY! More of your burning sailing...
Yes, we've never celebrated Halloween before. But we're in the USA now, and the Halloween celebrations are everywhere, so we better join in!
The marina hosts a Halloween inspired fun-run to raise money for children of veterans and celebrate the opening of ...
A few weeks ago we asked our Facebook followers what questions they had about us, our life onboard, and sailing in general. The response was enthusiastic to say the least! In this episode we answer a range of questions from how to choose the best antifoul ...
Another week, another broken boat part!
Today's episode features the water pump which has always been a bit iffy. It packed up again, so instead of Nick spending an entire morning fixing it (again), we decided to just order a new unit. Very sensible of u...
We never do things the easy way...!
The time has come to get our Viking RescYou liferaft serviced. It's about a year overdue (don't worry, it's still safe) and because we're soon to be embarking on another sailing season, we need to get this thing servic...

Finally back in the water!!! Boats shouldn't be out of the water, they look weird and i think they are probably a little sad as we leave them.
Anyway, this week we finally get a launch booked, and Ruby Rose finally ends up where she belongs.
Thanks so mu...
Back on the boat at last!
After three months away for hurricane season we are finally reunited with Ruby Rose. However we are in a hot and humid South Carolina Boat Yard with jobs galore to do. Is everything going to be ok? Will the engine start? Can we ma...
