Hi all!
After failing our first launch attempt, we charge ahead with some additional repairs with the help of new crew. Then we head back to the launch pad. Hopefully, the boat isn't sinking this time!
Much love,

We FINALLY made it to the yard and the hard work has begun! We start digging into a boat we already know need a sh!t ton of work... but we definitely are not as prepared for what is in store for us. We also discover something that could have bee CATASTROPH...
We do some massive fiberglassing on the bulkheads and Carlos drops epoxy resin all over my head. I tell Colin surfing is easy until we actually have to go. The water causes the epoxy in my hair to cure quickly and then it's stuck forever. Luckily, Colin @P...
Hey all!
Last time we started our biggest project yet, repowering our 40-year-old, Gulfstar 50 sailboat. The old Perkins that powered Magic Dragon had seen better days and it was time to move on.
Well, this week, our new-to-us engine (a Yanmar 4JH110) ...
Hi all!
When we bought Magic Dragon, we knew that the engine ran but was in rough shape. After consulting with several mechanics and a surveyor, we decided to pull the trigger and do a complete repower of the boat.
Originally, we placed an order for a ...

Hey all!
At the end of the last video, we were getting close to launch. All of the seaworthy issues were almost resolved, and we were ready to start working on "sea pretty" projects.
But, mother nature had a different idea.
Hurricane Ian made landfal...
Hi all,
Kirstin's parents have been a massive help on the boat! We love spending time with them, and we think they like spending time with us (hopefully)!
But, what do they actually think about our crazy plan to live on a sailboat and sail around the wo...
Hi All,
The boat restoration continues. When we bought Magic Dragon, we knew that quite a few of the systems did not work. The refrigeration, the air conditioning, and the generator were all broken and likely unsalvageable. Those systems need to be remov...
