Our Seawind 1600 Catamaran, Wanderlust, is Finally Here - Ep. 1
Harbors Unknown
Harbors Unknown is the story of two dreamers, Kristin and Fabio Potenti, and our French Bulldog Yoda. We sold our home at the beginning of the pandemic (May 27th, 2020) and moved aboard our Seawind 1600 catamaran, SV Wanderlust, in September. We’re documenting boat life as live aboard sailors, sharing our learnings, sailing adventures, travel experiences and delicious meals cooked on board. We're sailing SV Wanderlust to Harbors Unknown, to explore the world’s vast cultures through food, a common thread amongst people everywhere. Connecting with people and places through the local cuisine, and showing how those dishes can be cooked on a boat with limited space and resources. We hope to inspire people and showcase the possibility of living an alternative lifestyle living on a boat that provides freedom and fulfillment.

The day we had been waiting for since last October had finally arrived. Our new catamaran, also our new home, was waiting for us at Merrill Stevens Shipyard in Miami. Seeing our boat for the first time was the culmination of a nine month waiting period. We ordered our Seawind 1600 in October of 2019, and the production team shared videos of the build out process with us which we loved since we unfortunately couldn’t go to Vietnam. Not only our world, but the world as a whole changed drastically in those nine months. With the arrival of COVID-19 in March, we couldn’t help but wonder if we made the right decision. Everything was in motion so we kept moving forward. We sold our home of 16 years, and moved twice in two months, with the plan to move onboard the boat once she arrived.
On the first day of commissioning everything was unwrapped and the team began setting up and testing the systems. Nance & Underwood Rigging and Sails arrived on the second day to assemble the mast and run the rigging. The next day a huge crane lifted the mast assembly and the team carefully stepped the mast. On the fourth day we sailed her up to Fort Lauderdale. It was surreal going through the canals of Fort Lauderdale on our new boat. It truly was a dream come true!
We are super grateful to the Seawind Catamaran team and Steve from Finish Line for allowing us to observe and document the commissioning process. A huge thanks also to Nance + Underwood and the Merrill Stevens shipyard. It was an awesome experience and we’re thrilled to share it with you! Let us know what you think in the comments below. 🙂

200 Years of History in Hue
Two hundred years isn’t very old. Especially if you’re Italian. But Hue packed emperors, colonialism, occupation, revolution and war into those two centuries. It’s all about the mileage, not the age .
I Don’t Like the Beach. So I Went to Con Market.
Da Nang is famous for its beaches. I had enough of them. So I went to Con Market instead. Pork, fermented food, coagulated blood, endless stalls, and the kind of organized chaos I was hoping to find in Vietnam.
Alone on a Vietnamese Sleeper Train
I took the train from Saigon to Da Nang. I took the slipper train instead of flying because I was  hoping to talk to some of the locals, it turned out that I was the only one in the compartment.
