Install of Our New Composting Head
I know many of you have been very curious about our swap from a manual to a composting head, and I wanted to share with you the install process in detail. The ventilation system turned out to be the trickiest part (mainly because we wanted to utilize old, ...
Our Journey
Six years now Phillip and I have been sailing and sharing here at HaveWind, and—now, especially with our first Atlantic Circle complete!—we’re often asked where all we have traveled by sailboat. Well, this should explain it! A six-year HaveWind a...
Shipyard Vid 3: New Coupling & Rot Repair
Calling all boat project fanatics, this one’s for you! Boy, did we have a time trying to get our engine aligned. While Phillip and I knew we had some kind of issue going on with our prop shaft, the key that fits in the shaft (which was always coming out ...
Shipyard Vid 2: Removing the Quadrant & Replacing the Cables
Maybe they should change that B.O.A.T. saying to “bonded or about to.” The hardest part of our rudder drop was getting the stinking quadrant off! Heat, impact, cheater bars, nothing would work. So, the creative guys at www.perdidosailor.com had to c...
Shipyard Vid 1: Reinforcing the Rudder Post
Hey hey crew! As I write from La Rochelle, I have a confession to make. I’ve been saving a treat for you! I was holding this for when I knew we would likely be shoving offshore, so you all would have a fun video to watch as we struck out tomorrow into ...

BV20: Overnight Sail to Spanish Wells
Life is swell in Spanish Wells! Or breathtakingly beautiful at least. Phillip and I were happily shocked to find our favorite beach from our entire Bahamas trip tucked away on the north shore of what we thought was going to be an industrial little fishin...
BV18: Flying the Chute South to Little Harbour
If there is one thing the steady north winds in the Bahamas are good for, it’s flying the chute, headed south to Little Harbour! Ahoy followers! In Bahamas vlog time, we are just wrapping our stay at beautiful Hope Town, Bahamas (where we got lucky eno...
BV17: Marsh Harbour to Hopetown
Enough with this maintenance in Marsh Harbour! It’s time to get sailing and set our hopes on Hopetown. This was one of our favorite stops in the Abacos. Many cruisers live here full-time on a ball in the harbor which gives the place a very welcoming, ...
BV 15: Maintenance in Marsh Harbour
Have any of you ever wondered this? “How do they change their oil when they’re sailing around the world?” I’ll be honest, when we were first boat-shopping, I wasn’t even entirely aware the boat had an engine, much less one that had oil that nee...
BV13: 3 Kinds of Wind – Sailing, Kiting & Silking at Treasure Cay
What’s that old saying? There are only three types of wind: too much, too little, or in the wrong direction. While that is fairly true, thankfully, for us, no matter what speed or direction, we can usually bust out one of our many “wind toys” and d...
BV 13: Great Kiting at Great Guana Cay
Kiting in winds of 25 plus! Dancing with party-people all 25 and under! Eddie the nipping cat at Nippers. Bucketlusters, kite-surfers, Vladimir Platypus (my winter, wet-suit alter-kite ego) and “Bahamas Boys” looking for some cheebah? Or bitcoin...
