💙 Who are we?
We are Ben and MP!
Recently we decided to purchase a two-masted wooden schooner in Brazil. The fun detail about our story is that the boat we bought was sinking and relying on many bilge pumps to survive so we had to lift it onto the dry to start a full refit. Once the boat was lifted (for the first time in her life) we realized that the work needed was much more than expected. Between bailing or accepting the challenge, we decided to go for the second option. Watch us as we bring Yabá back to life with the help of an amazing team of traditional shipwrights, sharing every phase of the process, overcoming the highs and lows and having fun along the way.

This week’s episode of Sailing Yabá brings a mix of excitement, skill, and determination as the crew navigates their way through challenging weather conditions to tackle an essential project at sea. The quest? Building their own toilet on board!
The Fog Rolls In
As they arrive back at a previously unknown bay, thick fog engulfs Yabá and the crew must rely on their navigation tools to carefully position the boat. Despite the challenges presented by the dense cloud cover, their skilled maneuvers lead them safely into a perfect anchorage spot, where they’ve dropped anchor with precision.
Building an Off-Grid Toilet
Having postponed the construction of their on-board toilet under various pretenses, MP and Ben finally take action to enhance their living conditions at sea. With a piece of plywood in hand, they work diligently on what will be an off-grid luxury addition.
Diving Adventures
Amidst their construction projects, the couple makes time for diving. This dive experience is a welcome break from work-related tasks, and they appreciate simpler dives as much as the ones full of fascinating marine life.
Navigating by Navionics
In one particularly memorable scene, MP is at the bow keeping a lookout as Ben skillfully maneuvers Yabá through the fog using only their Navionics map for guidance. Their ability to navigate and adapt to changing conditions underlines the essence of their sea-faring journey.
A Crew’s Promise
Throughout the video, Ben recounts a promise made to MP for a toilet before setting sail. The commitment to keeping this promise not only speaks to their relationship but also to their dedication to living sustainably at sea.
The Clearing Fog
As the fog lifts, a sense of relief washes over them, highlighting the uncertainties and challenges faced in their daily life aboard Yabá. With construction projects and adventures alike, the crew demonstrates resilience and determination.

Every Day Brings New Adventures
Closing the video with a serene view of their anchorage, viewers are left reflecting on how this couple embraces both the challenges and rewards of life at sea. This glimpse into their day-to-day existence is a testament to their love for each other and their adventurous spirit.
