We are thrilled to be back on the water after completing our major catamaran refit! As we settle back into life aboard, we're busy fine-tuning our new systems, testing upgrades, and getting everything dialed in for the adventures ahead.

Things moved fast after that. My dad flew out to help James bring our new catamaran all the way from a freezing North Carolina down to the Bahamas. Unfortunately the cameras didn’t...

In this episode, we're transforming Isla from a bare-bones boat into a true home for ...
We are pausing our regular Sunday episode schedule because something serious has happened. Tim and I, along with friends, were attacked by someone with a knife, highlighting the critical need for personal safety and self defense. We'll be back soon with more content, but for now, we need a week...
🚨 THE BOAT FINALLY DOESN’T SMELL LIKE A SWAMP… 🚨
This week aboard Sailing UV, we tackle one of the nastiest problems we’ve had living on the boat… the shower draining straight into the bilge. 🤢
