Our relationship is tested to the MAX! While sailing the US Virgin Islands and the BVI during the pandemic the music stops. Quarantine and living in a small space has put pressure on our relationship, will we push through? #sailing​ #sail​ #sailinglif...

We up anchor and sail off into the blue, looking for a better place. It is time to SAIL our problems AWAY! We think we have found an island paradise until….we woke up to noises in the cockpit. Have we been BOARDED by an INTRUDER? #sailing #sail #sailing...

While cruising in St. Croix USVI our 20-year-old windlass finally has enough. Houston, we have a problem! We race against Sahara dust storms to St. Thomas to install new solar panels, replace the windlass (it doesn't go as planned), and do a thorough rig ...

We leave our cruising sailboat at the dock and go yacht racing. What happens when vloggers jump aboard hardcore race boats to compete in a 333 nautical mile offshore race? You are about to find out. #Sailing #Sailboat #SailboatLiving #SailboatLife Join ...

POP! After tons of swell and the puffs hitting us from the side, the dyneema just couldn't take any more. We also go hunting for our own dinner and Curtis and I hook up our third reef and inner forestay and take Sweet Ruca for a whirl in the crystal clear...

Cold Drinks and Frozen Ice cream are the Holy Grail of Off the Grid living, especially on a boat in the Caribbean. We dive into the Sea-Frost BD 50 that was in our boat when we purchased it and compare it to the Isotherm 2013-SX we are installing to repl...

We are hot and sweaty and can't wait to cool off with a cold one. We take Nora for her first sail on a monohull, assist a vessel with an engine down in a crowded anchorage, fix our fridge, and enjoy cold beverages at sunset. Join us in the island paradise...

We take our tiny home bluewater sailing, offshore from Grenada to Sint Maarten. Kate deals with seasickness, Curtis makes coffee at 9 knots, and we deal with a 1am traffic jam of ships. #sailing #sail #sailinglife #ocean #sailboat #saillife We are Kate a...

Like many, before we sailed there, we never knew it existed, hidden in the shadows of the Grenadines and Grenada. What we found was a place that should not be missed even though part of us wants to keep it our little secret! Take a tour of the island lif...

We sail away from St. Maarten, into the vast bluewater of the Atlantic Ocean as we begin the 2500 mile transatlantic journey to Horta, Azores. Sailing across the Atlantic is not to be taken lightly, we will encounter storms and gear failure. There is no on...

Do Kate's new seasickness meds work? How does the dog adjust to sailing? How is the boat set up differently for bluewater ocean passagemaking? What is it like out there? #sailing #offshore #ocean #boatlife We are finally offshore, on a 2700 mile Journey ...

We set the spinnaker and really get our tiny home at sea rolling. We find a huge convergence zone filled with squalls, storms, and lightning. The weather models have no consensus. This isn't going to be an easy night! Find our Tracker Here: www.sweetruca....

Where did these STORMS come from? The water turns black as we battle roaring thunderstorms that push us at speeds over 10 knots. We ask ourselves, are we having fun? We continue our 2700nm bluewater sailing voyage as we sail across the Atlantic Ocean. #sa...

We have a MAJOR problem! While we try to fix one problem, another rears its head, and then another. If we can't fix it, we may need to TURN BACK? #sailing #boat #boatfails #tinyhome #offthegrid We are sailing in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean and need...

That blip comes on the radar. Is it a squall? Is it a boat? Most boats this far offshore have some type of AIS, not all, but many. So who is this mysterious blip showing up on our radar? #sailing #boat #liveaboard #mysterious #offthegrid So who is this c...

What happens when the forecasts don't come true? We find ourselves sailing in the middle of the Atlantic without really knowing what's ahead, and you guessed it, we find some red on the radar. #sailing #boat #liveaboard #weatherforecast #offthegrid So w...

We were living on a prayer alright, a prayer for some wind! But what we found was some awesome seamanship and squeezing every bit of polar optimals that we could out of the old gal. Even double-handed sailing can feel like single-handing at times. #saili...

Long sailing video with no talking, just sailing. Relaxing video. Ocean sounds. Water sounds. Sailing Sounds.

This one is going to cost us! Catching the drone at sea isn't easy, but the shots are worth it. We crash the drone in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean while on an offshore sailing passage to Horta, Azores. #sailing #boat #dronecrash #liveaboard #sailboat ...
