Many years of planning and we’re living our best life as fulltime sailors

Sailing life isn’t always rainbows and beautiful crystal clear water. A lot of times it’s boat maintenance, unexpected repairs, rolly anchorages, and rough weather but these moments make up for all the crappy parts that come with living and traveling full time on a sailboat. #sailors #sailing #sail...

A very messy project, but we love the Kraus drop in sink.

This is one of the many changes we made to Cosmo after we moved aboard. The tiny double sinks couldn’t fit a frying pan so we found a drop in sink that would fit the area and replaced the faucet as well. 3 years later and it’s one of our favorite boat projects. #boatprojects #boatupgrades #boatdiy ...

Finding anchorages in the Sea of Cortez for sailors

Adding some shorter content I made for Tiktok that is relevant to our SmoCo Sailing channel. Aside from watching fellow YouTubers explore the sea (Tom and Peter on Sailing Bohemia are a must watch) we’ve used the Sea of Cortez guide more than anything, followed by the Noforeignland app which was dev...

We live on our sailboat & besides the obvious (watermaker, life jackets, etc) these are must haves.

We live fulltime on our sailboat and while we have the obvious items that you need to have on a boat life life jackets, watermaker, and a vhf radio these are the less common items that sailors might not think about purchasing for a sailboat. We’ve used these so many times, they’ve made it to our ess...

Solar panel cleaning is part of our boat chores every few weeks.

Dirty panels can reduce charging gains by 10% which can really add up. Here in Baja we’re surrounded by dust and salt water and those will leave a visible residue on the panels so we clean them every few weeks. #solarpanels #livingonaboat #solarpower #offgrid
