After our first year of sailing the Caribbean as a family, we sailed our Lagoon 450 south to Grenada to haul her out for hurricane season. But as we prepared to leave our floating home behind, we honestly didn’t know if we’d ever come back.
Our final sail takes us from Martinique past the incredibl...
Our sailboat haul-out turned into the biggest nightmare we've ever faced after unexpected damage, an insurance dispute, and a lightning strike.
What should have been a routine haul-out quickly turned into the biggest ordeal we've ever faced with our boat.
What followed was months of unce...
Welcome back to Banana Pancakes 🍌🥞
Or if you’re new here… welcome to our beautiful little shit show.
After waiting THREE years, we finally flew to Florida to survey what could become our future floating home — a 2021 Leopard 50 catamaran. This is the exact boat we first stepped on during spring bre...
🌴 WE SOLD EVERYTHING… AND WE’RE DOING IT AGAIN | Sailing Around the World as a Family of 6
Welcome to Banana Pancakes… or if you’re new here—welcome to the chaos.
After sailing the Caribbean for a year, selling our boat, and trying “normal life” again… we realized something:
We’re not meant for n...
Before you cross an ocean, it doesn’t look dramatic.
It looks like lists. Provisioning runs. Marking anchor chain. Servicing gear. Small jobs that matter more than they seem.
In this episode, we haul Big Lost, finish the last of our prep, explore old jungle bunkers near the marina with the kids, and...
Prints available at until end of February 2026!
Thanks so much to the professionals in Sisimiut for helping us with the haulout and getting Lumi to her winter resting location safely!

Hurricane season is the busiest time of year for shipyards across the Caribbean, and Trinidad is no different! At Peake Yacht Services the yard has been a hive of activity, as yacht owners return to their sailing homes and launch for another season of adventures out on the water. For the boats behin...
We’ve officially hauled Sabado out of the water at Port Whangarei Marine Center in New Zealand, and the refit has begun! In this video, we take you through a day in our new routine: starting the morning at our rental house, commuting to the boatyard, and diving into our first big boat projects.
We ...
Maintenance work continues on Trade Runner here at Helena Marina. The yard workers help me out with the sanding and do a mint job, so happy with that! I learn that I need to start the days early as each afternoon the squalls roll through and dump tons of water. I cross things off the job-list though...
Boat yards scare the hell out of me, I'll be honest. It's never a nice time when that moment comes when you need to haul out and get some hull work done. Very necessery though and it had been 18 months since the last one. We have some big sailing miles coming up in the coming months so now...

Having a medical emergency aboard is something no liveaboard cruiser wants happening on their boat, so when it impacted our catamaran we were lucky to be in the shipyard in Trinidad. What seemed to just be a sore limb was actually a life threatening medical condition that needed to be urgently addre...
The hurricane season is a time where many liveaboard cruisers in the Caribbean region choose to lift their boats out, storing them safely on land. Given the work we have left, we decided to do exactly that, choosing to give Peake Yacht Services in Trinidad a try. Their 150 ton travel lift lifted our...
Hi guys, In this episode we haul out E.S in Port Angeles, Washington and then head across the strait, first to Macaye Harbor at Lopez Island and then we go through Cattle Pass to Friday Harbor. Hope you enjoy the vid and please don't forget to leave a comment, thumb up👍, subscribe if your not a...
This week Sabado went back in the water after being hauled out for maintenance in St. Maarten! Upon leaving the boat yard, we decided to take advantage of the wind and sail overnight back to the USVI.
Are you considering getting boat work done in St. Maarten? Here are the people we reccomend:

The day has finally arrived. We are scheduled to get back in the water. Just a few minor projects to complete... Wax the hull, install the prop, paint the bottom of the keel and stand plates, then wash the boat and were done. Minor stuff.
It was very surreal to see the all the stands knocked down u...
I never thought dealing with a hole in the boat could be so satisfying.
This week was a true test of DIY with your spouse. We had to coordinate two separate jobs while trying to talk to each other through the hull of the boat and let me tell you that proved to be a challenge. But we did it, and we...
Now that the fiberglass rebuild work has been completed on the rudder it’s time to start getting the rest of the hull back in shape.
We have 685 sq ft of surface to prep and paint before Hurricane Ian comes knocking on our door step. The blisters are almost repaired and smoothed out as to not cause...

We desperately needed to get back in the water... our souls needed the ocean again.. so we grinded real hard for the next 4 days to get Lady Africa in the water and ready to head off to our next destination.. from last minute boat work to prov...
Long time no see! We filmed the first half of this video while exploring Montana since our boat is hauled out for hurricane season. We talked about our annual budget for cruising, what we do for a living, and so much more! The second half was filmed back at the boatyard, where we talked more about o...
EP 192: Goodbye Lady Africa... ⛵
It's been a crazy whirlwind of emotions for us these last couple of weeks. We flew back to South Africa after receiving the devastating news that Ricky's dad would be going to ICU and on a ventilator due to COVID.. We made the decision to fly back as soon ...
EP 191: Boat Work | It's NOT always FUN in the SUN!
We got Lady Africa sanded and wiped down for a new fresh coat of anti fouling. She looks like the day we launched her in South Africa again. I did some touch ups in the cockpit. We serviced the sail drives, had a little bit of a contaminati...
