THE BIG DECISION MAKES ITSELF!
The laughter has helped, but we aren't going to lie, this has been a bit painful for us. We always said that cruising a small boat around should be called "decisioning," This year the decision has been based on whether we should sail north to New England a...

CATAMARAN SAILING & BAHAMAS ANCHORAGES – SLOW TV – Nick’s Music
I started making the music for our channel to avoid copyright notices. Some of the music is inspirational and used for video intros. Others tracks are slower, ambient, and more meditative. These tracks are produced with a mix of samples, loops, and MIDI pl...

WATCH THIS BEFORE YOU SELL IT ALL TO GO SAILING
Sailing YouTube Channels have inspired so many to go for it: sell it all, buy a boat, and set sail. But reality can be a slap in the face if expectations are out of line. We talk to the crews from boats out for the first time to get their perspective on wh...

THIS HAS GONE TOO FAR
With provisions low, we set sail for Long Island, but stores are closed! Uh-oh! The Bahamas are a historically significant area of the world. But not all of that history is positive. #deansbluehole #sailing #cruising #longislandbahamas #leopardcatamaran #...

BOAT LIFE: Hard to leave PARADISE
Clarity is her name, but right now a bit of confusion about which way to go. While we figure out whether it is north or south, we enjoy the last of the Ragged Islands of the southern Bahamas. Also, we rescue Megan's hair from certain demise. #sailing​ ...

INTRUDER ON BOARD – Did YOU know this could happen?
This has got to be one of the weirdest things we have ever had happened in all of our cruising experience. We don't want to spoil it for you. Just watch, and tell us, what do you think happened? #snake "Stranded on a Drowning Stranger's Boat" https://you...

BALANCE 526 – 11 FEATURES EVERY CATAMARAN SHOULD HAVE
A chance meeting in a far-off anchorage leads to a ride on perhaps the best-designed catamaran we have ever sailed on. The Balance 526 gave us ideas for what features really should be designed and built into every production cat. Let's go for a ride on Ga...

WHY DID IT TAKE US FOUR YEARS TO FIGURE THIS OUT?
Long hours at the helm in a seaway are brutal on the backside. This week Megan puts her sewing skills to the test and makes one of the most important additions to the boat....ever. And she did it out in the middle of nowhere, aka the Ragged Islands of the ...

BORDERS CLOSED – where would YOU go?
We are pinned down by weather and our tourist visas are running out, but a bigger question looms on the horizon: where do we go for hurricane season? North to Maine or south to Panama? Each direction has merit, so we break it down with a classic pro's and ...
SHOULD WE GO TO THE DARK SIDE?

SHOULD WE GO TO THE DARK SIDE?
We've always known it was only a matter of time before we turn in our sails for big engines and 10x the comfort. Maybe that time is now. But before we join the trawler world, let's do a little more sailing in the Exumas, including a beautiful spinnaker run...

THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING!
Little problems get more serious when big weather is bearing down on us. This week we take shelter from a couple strong cold fronts, and try to figure out why our anchor chain is rusting after just one year. We make things work and explain why we might not...

Can YouTube pay for sailing? Get the scoop on our camera gear and process.
Two years ago, we started uploading videos on a regular basis. It changed everything for us, and it's been an overwhelmingly positive experience. In this episode we talk about how we make the videos, the equipment we use, our collaborative process, and at ...

WOULD YOU SINGLE HAND A CATAMARAN?
A busted watermaker leads to a chance meeting with an inspiring circumnavigator aboard her own catamaran. Her message is clear: it is not about strength, but courage. And she extends that courage to help children in need in Haiti. We also get a look at the...

NEEL 47 REVIEW – The Best Way to Judge a Boat
Reviewing a boat without sailing it makes as much sense as reviewing a restaurant without actually eating there. Yet, we have seen several of these reviews where they've only walked around at boat shows. In spite of being named Boat of the Year by a couple...

A Patron comes to the rescue with a parts delivery, we enjoy some easy light air sailing in the Exumas on our way to Shroud Cay and return to one of the most beautiful beaches we have ever seen. While there, we come across a mega-giga-yacht rumored to be o...

NUMBER ONE REASON PEOPLE STOP SAILING – Gotta Stay Fit!
Injuries on a sailboat can be a real show-stopper. So what we do to get fit and stay in shape is just as important as maintaining the boat. This week we talk inflatable paddle boards and where to mount them so they don’t cause leaks, and do some epic sno...

YOU BETTER HAVE THESE TOOLS ON BOARD! & THE LAST PEOPLE ON EARTH
Cruising full time on a sailboat teaches a lot about nature, people, and ourselves. But one lesson we’ve learned over the years is more important than any other: you gotta go with the flow....in this case, go where the wind blows. This week we also conti...

MEGA YACHTS DRIVING US CRAZY!
The sailing has been fantastic, but when we head for a hint of civilization to get some internet, we get swarmed by mega yachts and giga yachts. The crowd sends us running for isolated coves and beaches in the Central Exumas and the Exumas Land and Sea Par...

DO WE NEED A FASTER BOAT? Cruising Eleuthera, Bahamas
A friendly race has us questioning whether we need a faster boat or better sails. We continue to see a landscape and seascape transformed by Dorian. Anchorages that were once good have been scoured of sand, and the lobsters have disappeared in parts of Ele...

ARE WE WELCOME HERE? Cruising the Abacos after Hurricane Dorian
We can all learn something from The Abacos. Hurricane Dorian tore the islands apart in September 2019 and the devastation in some areas is incredible. But the human spirit should never be underestimated. We were inspired by the people we met and the challe...
