Where did these STORMS come from? The water turns black as we battle roaring thunderstorms that push us at speeds over 10 knots. We ask ourselves, are we having fun? We continue our 2700nm bluewater sailing voyage as we sail across the Atlantic Ocean.

We aren’t always storm chasers like this. We try to use weather routing to get around danger at sea, but one needs to be prepared to face many challenges in the ocean. In this video, we test the capabilities of our sailboat in heavy weather.
We live off the grid in our tiny home, a year 2000 J Boats J/46 sailboat, which we bought in January of 2019, refit it over 6 months, then took off to sail around the world with a doublehanded circumnavigation, west about, via the capes.

We are Kate and Curtis aboard our boat Sweet Ruca. We are kind of like Sailing la Vagabonde, except we have a sailing dog named Roxy instead of a kid, and a monohull instead of a catamaran, oh and we like to sail fast!
Come sailing around the world with us and learn how to sail as you go! Other sailing channels we like are Uma, Soulianis, Zatara, Nahoa, Delos, and Doodles (without the sexy Instagram models).
