Our last day of this passage was quite interesting. We go through a numerous amount of squalls and get becalmed after every single rain. We love NOT using our motor, and as weird as it may be, we try to NOT use it as much as possible. Unless it was a serio...
With our lifestyle, the lows can be low, but the highs are the highest.
We enjoy every sunshine, learn from every experience, and just keep on living the dream.

As we take another step, we sail back from the Keys to Fort pierce, catch a fish, lose a fish, get watermelony wasted, sing for the wind, do some boat work, and play dress up to celebrate a big event.. Yep, all that in a single episode!

Our first shakedown (on step 25) went flawlessly, and now that we have our solar panels installed (step 26) it's time to take the shakedown to the next level. A 10 days long trip to Miami which includes a few breakdowns, some good lazy jibes, oh and of c...

By showing you what we worked so hard for.
Sailing Uma finally get's to live up to her title. And it's not a surprise that we keep having so much fun with the video production ;)

We makes a few more changes on the Electro-Beke (hopefully for the last time) to make her ridiculously quieter AND Kika tackles a side project of her own.
Stay tuned for Season 3 coming sooner than you think .

Having 10 days left in Cozumel, we were able to log a total of 15 scuba dives, and even learned great free-diving techniques and even swam in a cenote where a crocodile lives.
