Lightning hit our mast the other day and we already found a bunch of things needing fixing or replacing. We carry on troubleshooting everything broken like our MPPT charge controller, lights and our fridge's control head. We even dive on our hull to see wh...
This was terrifying, the thunder was getting louder and lightning strikes closer. My ears popped, everything went dark and a friend saw smoke off our mast. Filmed July 2022.

Time to get a few projects underway and there's some big development happening which was unexpected. We reunite with friends from SV Restless Soul and make new ones as we hang out in Fort Pierce, Florida. Being back to the USA reminds us of all the luxurie...
The hardest thing about sailing in the Bahamas for almost 5 months is to leave the Bahamas! Unfortunately it's July, hurricane season is well underway and it's time to cross the Gulfstream once again. You can always plan as much as you can but the reality ...
Full boat tour of a Cruising boat, a Hunter 33. We have been living in this 1981 33 feet sailboat for nearly 5 years and have transformed it from a floating cottage into a liveaboard sailboat that is self-sufficient. We cover its layout, specifications, an...
We set sail in the middle of the night for Grand Bahama Island. Sailing with a baby forces us to plan carefully our longer crossings just like this one from Soldier Cay in the Berry Islands. Plus sailing in July in the Bahamas comes with its challenges. Es...
Fresh food is running low so we go out foraging and spearfishing in Soldier Cay, Berry Islands. We cook some fresh cactus and show you how to filet a triggerfish. We are living off the land and sea from our small sailboat while cruising around the Bahamas...
Should you set sail with a 4-months old baby to the Bahamas? That's exactly what we did with our little girl Coral. We share with you its ups as well as the challenges. From snorkeling near Nassau, to sailing from New Providence over to Soldier Cay in the ...
I'm really pushing my Advanced Open Water Diver skills with my deepest dive ever. The wrecks and drop-off walls around Nassau blew my mind. But when scuba diving deep it can be dangerous and we have to be careful. We even explore Clifton Heritage National ...

The best thing about sailing in the Bahamas, more specifically in the Exumas is that there are just so many islands to visit. Only a few miles after leaving Big Major Cay we stumble onto the sand bars of Sandy Cay. A perfect stop on our way to Hawksbill Ca...
We dive into James Bond's iconic Thunderball Grotto in the Exumas this week. Plus we experience the highlights of Big Majors with our little baby. Sailing with a young one gives you new perspective on everything, might it be a starfish or simply going out ...
To really experience a place one must share it with the locals. This week we mingle with many locals and truly appreciate what Farmer's Cay and Black Point Settlement in the Exumas have to offer. We even get out spearfishing as a couple, something we haven...
This was the most terrifying sail we've ever experienced in 4 years of sailing. I hid below deck with our baby while Cory drove through the storm. Water was pouring in the cockpit then I heard something tear. It felt like it lasted forever.

You can still be sailing in the Bahamas in June, which is hurricane season. But you have to pay close attention to the hurricanes and be ready to move the sailboat from one island to the next. We still get out on a few fun adventures and explore the northe...

Cruising doesn't always go the way you plan, actually, it almost never does. Hurricane on the horizon and an expiring cruising permit force us to change plans. Our first step is to sail from Georgetown in the Exumas to hide near Rolleville and Balck Cay. W...
It's true you really never know who you'll meet and what you'll end up doing because of this cruising lifestyle. After too much fun we sail away from quiet Long Island into the bustling Georgetown. It does feel good to replenish our fresh produce situation...
