Marriage-saving Tip #1: Anchoring a Catamaran without stress
Anchoring a catamaran is very different from a monohull and there is NO need to scream and shout or wear NASA mission-control headsets. It took some time, but mastering this BASIC skill saved us a lot of headaches and money. It makes coming and going a lot...

Ever been in a storm? Yep, we have. Story Time!

It’s not always paradise in paradise!
Quick little montage of the blustery weather we've been seeing aboard Clarity. We make the best of it with sewing and boat projects. Plus, strong winds mean fast sailing! Made the tune with Logic Pro. Recognize the sample? My GenX'er friends just might! ...
