Ready to move in or cut in half first? The search for a floating home on the european canals continues. This week, I am looking at two more candidates in the Netherlands. Is one of these two durch barges the right one? Or will I have to keep searching?

Most kids have a swing set… ours have a bosun’s chair and a halyard. 😂⛵
Lily loves getting hoisted up the rigging just for fun, swinging above the boat like it’s the most normal thing in the world.
Living aboard has definitely changed our kids’ definition of a playground. 🌊
Would your kids LOVE t...
Welcome back to another episode of WE|Sail. EPISODE 351
After the calmest sailing conditions we've had in ages, this episode flips the script completely. Big seas, building tradewinds, and one of our fastest speeds yet, 13 knots, on our way back toward Viti Levu, Fiji's mainland.
Just be...
After sailing across Indonesia’s Makassar Strait from Sulawesi, we anchored of a wildly welcoming village in the Kalimantan region of Borneo keen to explore the region around the river city of Banjarmasin. We really enjoyed experiencing a number of “must sees” on our list including Indonesia’s last ...
Welcome back to Sailing UV — the greatest sailing show on Earth! 🌎⛵
UV is our 1996 Henry Morgan 57, a 57-foot catch-rigged project boat that we're slowly bringing back to life and eventually getting ready to chase some BIG sailing dreams.
But there's just one problem…
We're spendin...
When Grandma and Grandpa come to visit, there’s just one small problem…
Our house doesn’t exactly have a driveway. 😂🧳
Getting people—and all their luggage—from the beach to Isla is just another one of those everyday boat-life things that feels completely normal to us now.
Would you pack lighter i...
We kick off this episode in the middle of a freezing Dutch week with snow on the decks and fog on the canals. Magnus tries another beer and gives a very honest review of a triple that comes with a 900‑year heritage. From stainless steel aromas to coriander syrup surprises, it’s a tasting that doesn’...
When you live at anchor, your neighborhood looks a little different.
Tonight, one of our neighbors put on a concert right from his sailboat while the sun went down over the anchorage.
This is our kind of neighborhood. ⛵🎶

Sometimes the greatest gifts aren't things—they're the lessons and memories that stay with you forever. ❤️
This week aboard Isla, Nana and Gogo join our family to celebrate my 40th birthday, and what started as a family visit became one of our favorite weeks of boat life.
We waste no tim...
📍 San Juanico, Baja California Sur 🌊 Sea of Cortez, Mexico
From pristine spearfishing to boat demolition and getting lectured by beach RVers in a Walmart heiress’s bay! ⛵
We started our week expecting an overnight stop at Punta Púlpito, but the water was so impossibly clear we couldn't resist...
Every boat needs a rope swing… but somebody has to be the first one to test it. 😂
Ashton volunteered for the job, and honestly, this is exactly what having your oldest kid aboard is good for. 😉
Life aboard Isla is equal parts adventure, projects, and finding new ways to launch ourselves into the o...
We needed to get Big Lost to Tahiti.
After dealing with alternator problems off and on since Saint Martin, there’s an alternator specialist in Tahiti who can finally help us figure out what’s going on. But sometimes the smartest decision you can make while cruising is deciding not to go.
With 25–3...
Just our family swimming together with a waterfall behind us and jungle in every direction. 🌿🌊
Three years ago, we chose to step away from the life we knew and give our kids a childhood filled with more time together, more exploration, and a whole lot more adventure.
These are the moments we hoped...
We only needed to sail three hours to Tahiti… but 25–30 knot winds had other plans.
So instead, we’re waiting it out in Cooks Bay, Moorea—homeschooling, working out, watercoloring, baking cookies and finding ways to pass the time.
There are definitely worse places to wait out the weather. ⛵️🌴

Between the two of us, we’ve been sailing for a long time. We know the theory. We know where every piece of distress equipment on this boat is. We don’t skimp on insurance policies. But when an emergency actually happened, none of that seemed to matter.
What we had was a pounding heart, a serious ...
When your big brother says, “Let’s go,” you follow him toward the giant waterfall. 😂🌊
Different ages, different stages of life… but memories like these bring everyone together.
Would you swim this close to a waterfall?

Living on a sailboat has completely changed our definition of normal. Zooming across coral reefs in a dinghy, swimming with stingrays, meeting up with friends on the water, beach bonfires with people we just met at the anchorage, and starting the day with a swim.
Somewhere along the way, the extraor...

A peaceful afternoon at anchor suddenly turned into one of the most dramatic incidents I've witnessed in years.
What I first thought was a catamaran anchoring too close to SV Impavidus turned out to be something far more serious.
With nobody on board, the yacht had dragged its anchor and was dr...
We are halfway through our sailing passage from New Zealand to Fiji, but we're facing a big problem. We anchored in a submerged atoll called Minerva Reef, because the metal structure that holds our dinghy in place broke in the huge waves that we saw last week. Before we can leave this lagoon an...
Anse Leroux, Guadeloupe is perfect, with crystal-clear water, a close by beach and fantastic snorkeling just a short ride from the boat.
From there, we take a long dinghy ride to the colorful village of Deshaies, where we wander the charming streets and discover an amazing local bakery serving deli...
