We Tried to Buy Another Boat
We thought we'd found our dream catamaran in French Polynesia, but, spoiler alert...it was far from a good dream. If the cruising life is full of high highs and low lows, and so is the boat buying process. We find ourselves wondering if all of the searching is worth it!

Banderas Bay is a sailor's paradise, especially sailing aboard a catamaran. In this video we check out the beautiful Lindenberg 65, Force, and go for a sail aboard a Leopard 48. We sailed here in 2003 when we were "baby cruisers" and got married. We'll recap everything we've...
We Chased a Boat to Indonesia
You just never know where the path will lead. Indonesia was not on our bucket list, but when a very cool boat appeared to be for sale in Lombok, we jumped on a plane to have a look. While the boat didn't work out (spoiler), the trip was transformative for us. Find the O'Kelly Annex here: ...

Join us for an epic roadtrip through Spain and Portugal: Santa Pola, Osuna, Alvor, Sevilla, Grenada, Valencia, and then on to Madrid before we fly out to Bali. Exclusive $3...

Patience and hard work pay off! This Chris White's Hammerhead 54 trimaran has been transformed over the last year by a couple of the most knowledgeable and accomplished sailors you will ever meet. It was a pleasure to hang out on Spirit XL in the Whitsundays to see what she can really do! We we...
Catamaran Sailors Switch Back to a Monohull
Not just any monohull though...a nearly new Hallberg-Rassy 44. And how does one hull compare to two after all of these years on catamarans. We also cruise a lovely Kadey-Krogen 58 out to the Bahamas which helps us decide what's most important to us in our next boat. ⛵️ FOR BEHIND THE SCENES UP...
