A Rough Start - Outremer 55 Atlantic Crossing
Oh yeh, "fun" in 15 foots seas aboard a performance boat! A "good enough" window to leave the Canary Islands sends us into rough weather for a few days. We talk routing, which weather models are "best," and when to use which. We also check in with Megan back in Texas where she is trying to heal up.

LIVE ON THE MARGIN is about making money on the go trading stocks and options. I co-wrote it with Pat Schulte of Bumfuzzle. People seem to like that one too. All proceeds donated to our boat.

MEXICO SAIL – THIS BOAT IS LOADED!
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: ...

Finishing our circumnavigation by airplane, we find ourselves in La Cruz, Mexico within sight of where we were married in 2004. 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...
4 Years to find their DREAM BOAT – Hammerhead 54 Trimaran
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...
