You Won't Believe What We Are Afraid of Sailing At Night! [Ep. 60]

We are sailing offshore from the Azores to Canary Islands when we have a run in with….. Whales? Pirates? UFOs? Ghost Ship? Containers? Police? Illegal Fishing? We confront our biggest fear at sea!

We are going to take you for a relaxing ride through the north Atlantic ocean in this video. Head to the bluewater with us as we sail on into freedom for 15 minutes and forget about the worries in this world. Sometimes you just have to send it and enjoy the ride!

Forget about the superbowl for a moment and come sailing with us on Sunday. We would rather sail than watch NFL games anyway, and we have better snacks and pizza on board 🙂 This will be better than the halftime show (who is doing the halftime show anyway?) and superbowl commercials! We don’t care about the politics of the police boycotting Snoop Dog, Dr. Dre, and Eminem, but it would be interesting to see if the freedom convoy shows up there. Maybe one team will just kneel down and give up before the National Anthem?

So who is this crazy sailing couple making fun videos to share? Well, we are Kate and Curtis. We both sold up and headed out to sea to search for freedom, with the goal of sailing around the world via Cape Horn and the Cape of Good Hope. We brought our mixed rescue dog along with us as she loves sailing and swimming too!

Our boat is a year 2000 J Boats J/46. We searched for 3 years for our perfect sailboat for sale, when we found it, we knew it was the one. We spent 6 months re-fitting it in Rhode Island and then went for our shakedown voyage in Maine. We stopped in Annapolis for a bit to do some more refit work and offshore modifications, then we set off to the open sea. We went to the Bahamas, Miami, US Virgin Islands, BVI, Grenada, Carriacou, St. Maarten, where we enjoyed outdoor adventures, scuba diving, and have now did an Atlantic Crossing to the Azores where we had a chance to fly our DJI drone (and learned how to fly a drone from a boat) and one of our favorite past times, mountain biking. We have sailed over 10,000 bluewater miles to date.

We watched other sailing channels before we left as well. We even considered van life, a tiny home, or a motorhome / rv. Some of the channels we enjoyed were Gone with the Wynns, Project Atticus, and MJ Sailing. We didn’t really set out to be influencers, but we wanted to return the good karma and pass our inspiration and knowledge along.

Enough of this, we hope you enjoy our relaxing video on #sailingsunday!
