STORM bound then FOG bound drifting and BECALMED, we finally sail out into the trade winds only for the BILGE ALARM to go off at 3am. 500 miles from anywhere we are taking on water mid ocean. The start of this South Atlantic Ocean passage was not an easy one.

Join us as we share the highs, lows, and challenges of travelling around the world by boat, Sailing offshore across the Oceans and exploring remote locations with our own little tiny house.
