Don’t Let THIS Happen to You! – The Mini Refit Continues [Boat Life]

We were careful shoppers and did our research and STILL ended up with crappy anchor chain! When we went to return it, drama ensues. But later that day our fortunes turn as we have a brush with real celebrity! Also, we replace our running rigging and hang out with puppies and peacocks! Patreon: Co...

WHAT IT TAKES TO KEEP MOVING – Catamaran Mini Refit Begins

Our sights are on distant horizons, and that means the boat needs to be tip-top. We've been nursing along a few issues on Clarity that we can only take care of while tied up to a dock. Also, we are making improvements to the boat that will hopefully make her safer and faster for our upcoming ad...

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 and Maine, or south to Panama....

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 played on my Linnstrument. I use Logic Pro at ...

WATCH THIS BEFORE YOU SELL IT ALL TO GO SAILING

We talk to the crews from boats out for the first time to get their perspective on what Sailing YouTube channels get right, what ...

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 Bahamas. Plus we find a peacock out in the r...

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 fabulous Nautitech 47. Full 2009 Nautitech...
