Sailing Blind | Season 1, Episode 8
In this episode, we leave Le Marin and continue sailing north toward beautiful Saint-Pierre.
What started as one of our most peaceful and enjoyable sails yet quickly changed when we suddenly lost critical electronics onboard Isla.
Our charts, depth readings, wind instruments, and navigation systems all stopped working as we approached the anchorage.
Thankfully, the clear Caribbean water helped us safely navigate our way in and drop anchor in St. Pierre.
While troubleshooting the issue, we spent time exploring this historic town, snorkeling with sea turtles, discovering local markets, and enjoying some unforgettable family moments in the water.
Kasey and Ashton worked tirelessly to solve the electronics problem, eventually leading them back to Le Marin where they uncovered the real issue — a hidden blown fuse.
This episode captures the highs, lows, learning moments, and unforgettable experiences that come with full time sailing life in the Caribbean.
From dolphins alongside the boat… to towing the kids behind the dinghy at sunset… this became one of those chapters we know we’ll remember forever.
⚓ Thanks for following our journey aboard Isla.

Finding Our Isla Sailing
We’re a family of five who left traditional life and moved full-time onto our sailboat, Isla. This channel shares the real side of family boat life. What it actually costs, how we homeschool while traveling, the challenges no one talks about, and the moments that make it all worth it. We live aboard full-time in the Caribbean and document life afloat with kids: • the finances behind this lifestyle • daily routines and homeschooling on the water • the hard days, the growth, and the joy • choosing time, connection, and freedom over stuff No highlight reels (okay... maybe a few) No pretending it’s perfect. Just honest life on the water. If you’ve ever wondered what it takes to make a big life change... or you’re dreaming of a different way to live, you’re in the right place. 🌊 Full sails. Full hearts. Full-time family life.

We Didn’t Know If We’d Ever Sail Again
After our first year of sailing the Caribbean as a family, we sailed our Lagoon 450 south to Grenada to haul her out for hurricane season. But as we prepared to leave our floating home behind, we honestly didn’t know if we’d ever come back. Our final sail takes us from Martinique past the incredibl...
“Somebody Forgot to Fill the Gas Up…” 😂
“Somebody forgot to fill the gas up…” 😂 Thank you, Lily, for the status update. We were supposed to take the dinghy into town. Slight problem: no gas. So the boys got to work rowing us to shore so we could find fuel and THEN continue our trip. Nothing turns a simple trip to town into an adventure...
