#35: Time to Replace the Old (B)rods
The only really bad thing about rod rigging is that she doesn't show her age, but we knew, at 30+ years, our original rods were getting up there. If we wanted to sail south next season, a re-rig was in high order. Let the debate begin ... rod versus wire...
#33: Havana Daydreaming
We've got a TON of projects coming up kids, so I wanted to give you a little glimpse of what it is that motivates us when we're doing all of this scraping, cleaning, sanding and prepping. Plenty of cruising vids at https://havewindwilltravel.com/.
#32: When Rigging Fails
Because sometimes it just does, although our takeaway here was: check your chafe points. But, we were surprised to see our mast (even with a rotten base) stood up to some of the heaviest forces she has ever seen. This was, easily, our worst sail ever on ...

In honor of the Keys to the Kingdom release, I thought I'd share some footage with you of my last legal battle. Clearly, I had a hunger to win. Scarf it up -- then go get my new book! Hard copy: http://www.amazon.com/Keys-Kingdom-rising-lawyer-losing...
#28: You’re Doing WHAT with the Handrails?
If we want to get that boat moving south next year, it's time to get to work. It's stupid what one "little leak" can do to your boat. Rebed Take One (because, yes, this is worthy of a three-part saga). Enjoy! Thanks to my Patrons who make it all possib...
#27: Where Are You Going?
Cuba! I'm kidding (sort of). Maybe. There and 1,000 other places. I'll share our (very vague) plans but we're less than a year out and--believe me--that's not near enough time. (But it never is.) A big shout-out to just a few of the other wanderlusts...
#26: Where Have You Been?
Before we tell you where we're going, I thought it might help to know where we've been. In fact, I wrote it all down for you in my first sailing book -- SALT OF A SAILOR (FREE TODAY on Kindle): http://www.amazon.com/Salt-Sailor-origins-durable-not-so-dain...
#25: What is Your Story, Annie?
Time to get real people. I've had a great time making entertaining videos but it seems folks want to know the REAL STORY. Well, this is it. The story of me. Stay tuned for the Keys to the Kingdom book launch at https://havewindwilltravel.com/.

Ever wondered what it feels like to kite-surf? Well, I'll take you along with me, show you a few things I can do and one thing I certainly can't. You ready? Come aboard!
#14: Brandon Makes Us Dock Under Sail!
Come along as our good friend and boat repair expert Brandon with http://www.perdidosailor.com comes out for a day sail to teach us a few sailing tips aboard our 1985 Niagara 35 and bets us we can't dock under sail. "What would you do if the engine went o...
