We hit a couple of road blocks this week as we struggle to get to know our new sailboat and try to get it ready to leave the dock. We deal with our diesel heater and fridge failing, we complete some difficult engine work, and we ask ourselves if we made the right decision in buying this boat...

Our most immediate goal right now is to get Atticus II to a more affordable location (probably North Carolina) where we can begin our mini-refit to transform our boat from a weekend cruiser to an off-grid expedition sailboat. In order to leave the dock, we have some engine issues to tackle. What in...

We fall in love and put an offer on a Pacific Seacraft 40. Our offer is accepted, so all that’s left to secure our new boat is a survey, sea trial and rig inspection. We’re super nervous but excited to take what could be our new home out on the water and test all of it’s systems. After the survey w...

What makes a Bluewater Sailboat? Why haven’t we looked at catamarans or modern production boats? Are we limiting our options too much by only looking at fin keel boats with fully skegged rudders? Why aren’t we looking at BIGGER boats? We’ll dive into...
Buying a Used Sailboat Boat Series
Last week we fell head over heels for the Valiant 42 and put a low-ball offer on one that’s just outside of our budget. We still need a plan B in case our offer is rejected, so fingers crossed this Pacific Seacraft 40 stacks up to it!

After falling in love with the Valiant 42, we decide to check out the Queen V Berth layout, which we also love. We put an offer on a sailboat, and meanwhile Bernie takes us around the boatyard to teach us about sailboat hull design. Fingers crossed that we’ve found Atticus II!

We’ve heard so many great things about Swedish sailboats, and in particular that the Najad 370 manages to squeeze in a lot of interior accommodations in a small space, so we’re checking it out this week to see how we fit!

Buying a Used Sailboat Boat Series
This week we’re checking out a Shannon 43, the biggest sailboat on our list, to see if a boat with three cabins would be better suited for our sailing family. This huge, beautiful boat is an example of a classic American yacht that checks all of our boxes. Could...
Buying a Used Sailboat Boat Series
This week we’re checking out a boat that already has 1 circumnavigation under its belt, seems to be in near perfect condition, and has a couple very unique design characteristics that we’re excited about. It’s not on the market, so if this boat is right for us, ...

Last week we saw a boat in perfect condition that was too small, so this week we’re checking out a Tayana Vancouver 42 because we’ve heard great reviews about it’s sailability and huge interior. Join us as we figure out if this is the boat for us!

Buying a Used Sailboat Boat Series
The Pacific Seacraft 37 has been at the top of our list for Atticus II based on our research so far. Today we finally get to see it in person. This Pacific Seacraft has a unique story-- although it was built in 1988, the owner completely refit it at the Pacific Se...
We spend our last tearful day on Atticus packing her up and making sure she’ll be safely tucked away while we fly back to the USA to begin our boat hunt for Atticus II. Jordan struggles with renewing his passport, and we narrow down our criteria for what we’re looking for in our next boat, Atticus I...

We’ve been getting so close to the Pacific Crossing that we can almost feel the Pacific salt spray on our faces... But disaster strikes and we find ourselves up against a brick wall and faced with an impossible decision.

We’re getting closer with each day to our goal of sailing Atticus across the Pacific Ocean. In this episode we enjoy our last anchorage before arriving at Shelter Bay Marina, where we will stage to transit the Panama Canal. Jordan geeks out on some pirate history, we float down a freshwater river wh...
The weather takes a turn for the worse on our second night in Escudo De Veraguas. What started out as the most beautiful anchorage in our sailing experience has quickly become an anchorage from hell!

We decided to sail around the world 6 years ago after hearing and reading cliché sailor stories about sailing to remote islands, eating the freshest sushi while underway, living off of what we catch and building epic bonfires on deserted beaches with other world travelers. It wasn’t until this last ...

Upon arrival to Bluefields, an indigenous reservation in the Bocas del Toro archipelago, we are greeted by a mass of friendly neighbors. After receiving guest after guest, we get a little flustered and exhausted from the constant attention. But in the midst of it all, we meet a very special person ...
After a gorgeous and delicious tour of an organic chocolate farm, we head back to town for one final round of provisions, to complete a medical clearance and to obtain permission to exit Bocas Del Toro. It’s bitter sweet saying goodbye to our home for the last year, but we’re ready for what’s beyond...

Even though it’s statistically unlikely to experience piracy at anchor or to be held up at gunpoint on our sailboat, crime against sailors is a reality and does happen to unlucky sailors all around the world. As we explore new places, how do we decide who to trust? How do we protect ourselves, and h...
Before sailing thousands of miles across the Pacific Ocean and beyond, we need to make sure we have all of the sails that we need for the crossing and for exploring the Paciffic Islands. In this episode we go over some problems we’ve been having with our current set of sails aboard Atticus as well a...
