Seawind 1600 Catamaran Wanderlust Boat Tour Part 1 | Harbors Unknown Ep. 2
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.

Our friends Mark and Jennifer came to visit, so we decided to film while we gave them a tour of our Seawind 1600 Catamaran so we could share it with you! A huge thanks to Mark for filming!!
This is part 1 of a 2 part series. First we’re showing what the boat looks like, then we’ll share a rundown of the more technical systems in part 2.
We started with one of our favorite parts of the boat, the expansive cockpit. One of the features that sold us on the 1600 are the covered helm stations and the amazing visibility they offer. A dining table fits 6 people with seating for many more in the spacious area.
We then moved downstairs to show Jennifer where she’d be sleeping. The guest cabin has a bed that can be divided into two twin beds or combined into a queen. A spacious closet, cabinets, shelves and storage under the bed provide ample room for clothes, towels, and long term storage items. The windows, hatches and fans ensure guests sleep comfortably while on anchor.
The guest head (bathroom) is a full bath, with electric fresh water toilet, sink, shower, mirror, fabulous lighting AND a window to watch the water run by.
The v-berth in the bow is a single guest cabin with the same amenities as the stern guest cabin.
We spend most of our time in the beautiful saloon, galley, nav/work station area. It’s super comfortable. We hang out, eat dinner and watch TV in the saloon on a regular basis plus the table lowers to create a bed where two adults or a number of kids can sleep. Seawind set up the nav station so it duals as a workstation. There’s a monitor mount under the desktop, a power strip in the back and ample storage room. The chair is soo comfortable. Of course it’s also a great spot for night watch or keeping watch when the weather isn’t cooperating.
The main cabin is very similar to the guest cabin but has a fabulous vanity which gives me (Kristin) my own space to get ready (even blow dry my hair and put on a little makeup). Seawind recommended a hydraulic lift for the bed and it is amazing to be able to lift the bed and not have to hold it with your head while searching for stored items. The windows are pretty good too. Just kidding, they’re incredible!
The main head (bathroom) is a great size, the water pressure is perfect annnd there’s a washer/dryer combo above the toilet. Life is good.
The galley has a perfect triangle design between the refrigerator, stove and sink. The gas cooktop is on point and cooks just as well as the stove in our previous home. The oven doubles as a microwave which, quite frankly we use more. The storage is sufficient and we’re definitely happy we have two refrigerators. The pull out cabinets by the TV are great! We love the convenience.
Overall, we couldn’t be happier with our decision. It has been an adjustment of course, to go from a 2300 square foot house to a catamaran (we’ll calculate the square footage). We now use most of what we have rather than having a house full of things that we may use one day.

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.
