Our family has lived on a sailboat now for 24 months - 1 year living at a marina in Texas and 1 year sailing and traveling the seas. What did we learn? What lessons can we share?
Here are those two galley items we discussed:

Why travel in a straight line with rumble of the diesel engine when you can enjoy sailing and tacking back and forth in the Sea of Abaco toward Green Turtle Cay from Manjack Cay? A 6NM trip would take less than an hour to do under motor, but we chose to ta...
Manjack Cay (Nunjack Cay) is an incredible island in the Abacos, and this is where we took out the polespear and learned to spearfish! Hogfish? Snapper? Lionfish? Will we catch anything? After a quick sail from Powell Cay to Manjack Cay, we give spearfishi...
After leaving Florida, sailing to West End Bahamas, and waiting for good weather, we set sail in the Abaco Islands to explore and live on uninhabited islands for 5 days! We sail to and explore Great Sale Cay and Powell Cay. This episode is full of sailing,...
What is a working jib? Why is a working jib important to us as sailboat travelers? We sit down with Precision Sails for a quick discussion on the benefits of a working jib, how it compares to other sails, and why its an important sail for sailing offshore ...
We set sail from West Palm Beach FL to West End Bahamas and explain the entire check-in process - How to check into the Bahamas. And then we go on a little island exploration!

We're finished sailing the United States East Coast, and in this leg we take Tony offshore sailing from Georgetown, SC to Fernandina Beach, FL and then tackle a few projects, share some good food while underway, and have a blast traveling on our sailboat, ...
What a great time sailing offshore in 30 knots of wind when the Norther blew into Beaufort, NC!!! Plus, we get to meet our new crewmate, repair the bilge, and repair (breakdown & clean) the carburetor. The offshore sail from Beaufort to Wrightsville co...

It's happening! We're leaving the United States on our Sailboat!!! Woohoo! This marks the end of Chapter 2 - sailing the US east coast, and it's the beginning of our next chapter - to warmer latitudes, clearer water, and soft sandy shorelines.
Thanks for ...
After sailing the Chesapeake Bay for the last few months, we anchored in hospital point (Norfolk, VA / Portsmouth, VA) for three weeks to brace for some cold and stormy weather. Hope you enjoy these two beautiful cities as sailboat life meets city life!

Sailing to Annapolis from Solomons, Maryland. This sailing vlog is a simple video from a simple 10-hour sail in the Chesapeake bay. We left Solomons after cruising the southern half of the Chesapeake Bay for over a month, and now we're heading up to Annapo...
Sailing to Solomons Island, Maryland was one of the highlights from cruising Chesapeake Bay. We've heard great things from sailors who anchor in Solomons, MD (Solomons Island). So we thought, let's sail there and check it out! It didn't disappoint. The sai...
Prentice Creek and Hughlett Point quickly became one of our favorite spots to anchor in the Chesapeake bay! It's secluded and has a forest/lake feel to it. It's not like the open Chesapeake. Rather, it has a chill feel, a small fishing creek, and a beautif...
Simple Life living on a sailboat in Deltaville. That's the aim at least. And we get pretty close to it here in Deltaville living on a sailboat at anchor with no cars and no more stuff. Just family fishing, exploring, sharing a simple lunch, watching it rai...
Sailing to Deltaville, VA from Hampton in the Chesapeake was our best sail yet! And that little thunderstorm, well, it was just part of the fun. Hope you enjoy this sailing vlog in Chesapeake Bay!

Sailing to Jamestown, VA was the easy part - going ashore to explore Jamestown Settlement is the hard part! Now that Cadence is anchored near Jamestown, it's time to explore this settlement from the past.
Hope you enjoy!

Sailing to Jamestown VA in the James River. In the previous episode, mother nature dictated new terms to our little arrangement. So we followed her lead and are heading in a new direction - this time, we're sailing back in time via the James River to James...
