The Thorny Path…no way! We send it downwind in a gale to attempt to sail nonstop from Eleuthera Bahamas to St. Thomas USVI. We go from foul weather gear to bathing suits, again! This isn’t the way the books say to cruise, but we think we found a better way. Did we?

In this episode, we are fully offshore for 5 days straight of sailing life. We hit top speeds of over 15 knots. We take showers in the rain. Rip a spinnaker. Catch some amazing Mahi and Wahoo. Have lots and lots of fun! Want to find out how-to sail offshore or around the world? Come with us and we will show you!
About Us:
So who are we?
We used to be sailboat racers on the great lakes (we still are…kind of). We bought a sailboat, re-fit it, with a goal to sail around the world, doublehanded, via the capes (Cape Horn and the Cape of Good Hope). Some say this is the wrong way or the hard way. To us, the challenge is part of the journey.
We are Kate and Curtis, a YouTube sailing couple and travel vloggers, with our sailing rescue dog Roxy, aboard SV Sweet Ruca, a J-Boats J/46 monohull.
We will see if this will happen or not, as the “new normal” has put quite a damper on our travels. For now, we are holed up in the Windward Islands of the Caribbean making videos and scuba diving.
We aren’t Vendee Globe Race or Volvo Ocean Race sailors, although sometimes Curtis wishes he was one. We don’t have a fancy catamaran, but we do have a pretty and fast monohull sailboat.
We are not Sailing La Vagabonde, Expedition Evans, Sailing Doodles, Sailing Uma, Project Atticus, MJ Sailing, Gone With the Wynns, or SV Delos.
Cruising catamarans like the Fountaine Pajot’s, Leopards, and Lagoons can’t keep up, but we still like them 😉
We hope you enjoy our videos and vlogs and join us on our journey via our YouTube Channel.
‘Till Next Time 🙂
