Episode 138: Building Head Doors
This week we got started on a task Ricky was not looking forward to, that being.. getting our head door complete. For the longest time we thought of getting someone in to build the door for us that is how badly we didn't want to do it but then opted for buildi...
Did we get it done on time, there wasn't much time left on the clock but you will just have to wait and watch the video to see our final days of DIY boat repairs. A break in the weather comes for us to escape from Cartagena. Usually gale force winds are outside but we have a small weather wind...

We managed to finish up our electrical system tidy up. I thought Ricky was just being OCD about the whole thing but then realized how much neater but also safer our electrical is now. We added some MEGA Fuses (which took us so damn long to find by the way) which means we are protecting...
(🇫🇷 En dessous) You would think that by living on a sailboat, you have a lot of free time. It’s true that it’s a great life, free from all the stresses that one can find in living in the city. But in reality, a boat is quite complex. There are a lot of different systems, and almost every day there i...

Episode 136:
Our electrical system has been bothering Ricky tremendously. Every time he opened it up, he'd sigh and say how he needed to redo it.. That day had come. Rewiring our electrical system. We disconnected our batteries, disassembled our buck boosts, inverter and buss bars and re-wire...

In each video we'll take a closer look at something that makes ou...
Building drawers is one of the harder furniture things to do right. Shelved are easy, cabinets are kinda hard, drawers are hard. Lots or precision required and on a boat, precision doesn't really exist. But alas, its is time to quite procrastinating and get these drawers built so Jessica has so...
And finally here is a new episode of the Sailing trip and this intense 2nd week of the crossing in the Indian Ocean full of squalls and almost arriving to our destination.

We are looking to leave St Thomas and sail to St Croix soon, but before that we have several projects that we need to get done in order to do so.
And we FINALLY got in the one piece of our boat that has been holding us here, not allowing us to sail. The Chainplate!
Many thanks to our friend Jerem...

We had to decide if we wanted to have the debris from our toilet flush straight through our holding tank and then out to the ocean if the valve is turned open and then if the valve is turned closed stay in the holding tank, or...
We head back over to the ol’ stomping grounds… #redhook. There we do a few chores and pick a few essentials along with our very exciting “special delivery”.

This week, we continue our somewhat exhausting work! On the menu: continue to scratch the...
