This is our first voyage and it does not go according to plan ...nor does the second one!
But a day later and we are on our way up river if only for a mile or so.
Some problems are getting us a bit worried and we might have to go back to the boatyard for a few days.
But It is so good to be back o...
Ep. 66 500 miles off shore in the middle of the Bermuda Triangle sailing when our engine caught on fire. Thank God, we are on a sailboat... and there is wind... for now.

So we did the traditional touristy "swimming with the Bahamian pigs" thing, only difference, we didn't get in the water with them, let alone swim with them, yuck!!!! They have no control over their bowel movements . . . . Still having a total blast in the BAHAMAS. This was a real f...
Yes we do manage to get in to the water this week, after fitting the new bow thruster and filling the area under the bed with 1.4 tons of ballast. Unbelievable, we couldn't believe we managed to find where to place all of that. Then the boat was well balanced and ready to go!
It has been a l...
We know we scrape the bottom of our boat and use a rake to do gardening, but what does RAKE AND SCRAPE mean? The Bahamas never ceases to amaze. And we had a wicked 2.6 mile dinghy ride and sat in a massive armchair.
A big shoutout to all our PATREONS and subscribers, you guys rock! And to y'a...
It's taken months to get to this point.

It was a rush all week on the boat, it is unbelievable the amount of small things to do!
It was so much that we didn't record allot of content. But a lot was accomplished.
The big news of the week is that we managed to started the engine, yes the Vetus came to life on the first turn of the k...
We are still having a blast in the Bahamas! But WHAT HAPPENED out there?

For the last 3 years, we’ve put our electric outboard through the ringer. So what’s the verdict? In this episode, we tell you what we like and don’t like about our ePropulsion Spirit Outboard, how we power it from the sun, and pick our winner: gas or electric?
Hope you enjoy!

Things are at last starting to come all together. This week we get stuck in to the electrics in the Bow locker, the Windlass it is working and we manage to lift our rather large anchor. Another big achievement on River Fox!
We finally get the mast up and looks amazing. We still can't believ...
Our journey through the Bahamas continues. Great friendships were made with fellow Leopard 45 sailors, George and Maria on Kymani. We travelled through a VERY shallow cut, caught 8 fish and visited the ruins of a house demolished by Hurricane Irma. The farmer survived Irma in the open and was only...
We filled up the water tanks just to find out that it was leaking from the fitting in the tank. The second flood was on the engine room when we were filling with anti freezing. We forgot about the breathing tube hidden behind the insulation. So we had a huge flood all over the bilges in the engine r...

Lots to do and no time left. We are booked to go in the water next week on Thursday.
We get stuck in to cleaning the boat and polish the metal bits that we got in the air from other boats. A terrible job that has to be done.
We got on building the steps for the saloon and the back cabin. That look...
Hunkered down between over 400 boats in one anchorage during a blow in George Town, Elizabeth Bay. We are in the beautiful Exumas, thoroughly enjoying what the BAHAMAS has to offer. We visit Calabash Bay and Georgetown, and this is only the beginning. BAHAMAS here we come!!!!
I would also like to...
It's been a while Youtube. This is why we decided to stop posting on Youtube.

With a shortage of cable crimps and sleeving it all gets a bit desperate to finish the electrics.
We then have a bit of a blow when we get the cost for the CE marking for the boat. Apparently we need a Recreational Craft Directive which we didn’t know about. We thought we would be into the 5 years...

Sailing is tough, and often uncomfortable. Anything that makes life easier or more comfortable onboard means you’ll sail more, and enjoy it more.
We’ve had a spinnaker/whisker pole onboard since a fellow sailor donated one to us in Mobile, Alabama. We’ve tried to rig it once or twice, but never had...
We finally put the exhaust system to bed. Our flexible pipe from MasterFlex arrived and Carla and I fit the system together. We are very pleased to have finished that job.
We then move on to the electrics. We wire the whole of the 240 volt system together and most of the negative side of the 12 v...
We experience our first BLUE HOLE diving . . . Quite intimidating when you think there is 202m of water below you and you cannot see the bottom. Sadly in this particular blue hole, quite a number of free divers have lost their lives in recent years. It is so important to undertake these type of d...
We finally get around to cutting the prop shaft and attaching the prop to the engine. We spend some time aligning the two up before moving on to the installation of the exhaust and the heater. Things are getting even more serious now as we are approaching the finishing line.
Carla puts even more...
