We're still traveling with our buddy boats; Whipper Snapper and Livin Life. There's a calm day so we decide to mix things up and swap everyone's boats around! It turns out to be one of the best days we've had. It was a blast!

We have a lot of drama this week when we get way too close to a reef and then our dripless shaft seal starts to drip....and then full on leak! We scramble to get her fixed with no real option of getting the boat hauled out during the lockdowns.

When you are sailing in remote locations the last thing you want is something major to go wrong. We are traveling with a buddy boat that just such a thing occurs. He looses his rudder. Luckily everyone in the anchorage is quick to jump in and lend a helpin...
We’ve been sailing for 9 years now but there’s always those times that make you feel like you just don’t have a clue what you’re doing. Our sail in Southern Belize is just one of those times. Also, I'm a bad traveler, lets just admit it.

With borders closing, we try and make it to Belize. This means we have to check out of Guatemala and hope they don't close both borders while we sail to Belize. It's risky.

We take a break from the boat and head inland to Antigua! It's a colonial mountain town that hosts a LOT of nut salesmen! I know, weird! We also let you know that this little trip was also due to the fact that we have to fly out for work for 3 weeks, BUT d...
We get Tarka out of the water and get her squared away in the boat yard, but boat yard work is hot, tedious and frustrating! We both get a little moody in the meantime and may take it out on each other and even you, Fry. We do, however get everything done ...
This may be one of my favorite videos! I know we aren't sailing, but part of cruising is traveling and living in different places. This means we have to get used to doing the normal everyday chores, like grocery shopping, in different and new ways. It may ...
You all know I have a knack for doing it....running aground. Just because we have a fancy yacht now, doesn't mean I wont try and find the bottom every now and again!

With a bigger boat comes lots of systems and lots of little problems. The boat has been sitting for 5 years so there are issues with almost every system, including that we don't know where to find them! We delve into everything to try and get Tarka back in...
We finally got the motor started and we head off the dock and into the lake for Tarka's first sail. It was a perfect sunny day and we couldn't be happier!!

We're back to our regularly scheduled programming, Fries. No more drunkin' tours, because we gotta get this girl out of the Rio!!! Our mechanic is still a no show which means Spencer and I delve into the engine repairs ourselves. The task is a bit over our...
You Fries did it! You left a TON of comments on our interior tour and so Spencer walks you through our topdeck. The Rumba 41 has a ton of cool features; sugar scoops, pilothouse, giant cockpit, and simple rig. Tarka in particular has some added features su...
Our engine woes continue! The mechanic left her in disrepair and then left, yet again, with a half finished job. This would be disheartening on its own, but we have some marina drama that is making us extremely eager to get the hell outta Dodge. We can't, ...
We are FINALLY giving you a tour of our NEW BOAT!!! She's a Rumba 41, aluminum sloop rigged sailboat and she has the BEST interior of any sailboat, hands down!! (Them's fightin' words and I know it!)
We encourage you to grab a beverage and join us as we t...
We failed to mention that the motor is not actually running on Tarka. The previous owner had a mechanic look it over and he took it all apart to asses, but will not come back to put it all back together!!! Spencer wants to get out in 2 weeks, so this may p...
We pack all our stuff up in the 4Runner and head out from Colorado, down the Mexican coast to Rio Dulce, Guatemala to get to our dream sailboat that we just bought. It's a tough go of it, though. Bee has a little meltdown about driving through Mexico, we p...
We are buying a boat that we haven't seen in 6 years! I mean, we remember it being nice. But who the hell knows?!? It's been in the jungle. We are, however, so excited about it, we want to give you a tour....kinda....from what we remember.
There are people who enter your life at the exact right moment you need them. They change your attitude, your perspective or your whole life. We call these people Wizards and we've been lucky enough to have a lot of them in the 9 years we've been sailing, ...
After 9 years of cruising we can say that there's a few dilemma's that every sailor deals with and no one has a solution for; making money and staying connected to land life while you're cruising.
It's hard when you're a moving target and you still want ...
We take SCAMP sailing in Kachemak Bay in Homer, Alaska. It was one of our best sails to date!
