ONCE AGAIN we find ourselves next to a SINKING CATAMARAN. As the FIGHT to SAVE THE BOAT we can't help but wonder COULD OUR CATAMARAN SINK? Considering boat is 30 YEARS OLDER than the sinking boat our conclusions are a little unexpected. We also have an AMAZING SPINNAKER SAIL to ST. MARTIN. ...
In this episode you’ll see the result of the non-skid before spraying the top coat. Have a look at our beautiful Wilda! We think it turned out great!
The LATEST UPDATE is that you can see what Wilda looks like in REAL TIME and you can support us by joining our Patreon community! Thanks so much for ...
We've found the CROWN JEWEL of GUADELOUPE - Deshaies. Not only is this a GREAT PLACE to get STUCK, but it's also the SET of an INCREDIBLY POPULAR TV SHOW! We show you all the sites, both OFF THE BEATEN PATH and touristy as well. Enjoy!! And be sure to SUBSCRIBE for WEEKLY CONTENT EVERY...
Our TIME is SHORT, so only PERFECT ANCHORAGES will do. We take an UNTESTED ROUTE north to GUADELOUPE for the FIRST TIME, narrowly skirting east of DOMINICA. It's a LOT OF SAILING in some STRONG and UNPREDICTABLE conditions resulting in some HARDWARE FAILURES. But how many anchorages will we ...
A BOULDER on the ocean floor WRAPS our CHAIN in a CRAZY KNOT. We're only 100m from shore with GUSTING and VARIABLE WIND and CURRENTS. Time for Eric to GO DIVING! We also happen to be at the foot of a MASSIVE VOLCANO in the captivating town of Sainte Pierre, Martinique...time to GO HIKING! E...
We GAVE UP EVERYTHING to SAIL THE WORLD FULL TIME. Then we traded our MONOHULL for a 30 year old CATAMARAN. We've sailed several passes of the WEST INDIES, PUERTO RICO, and the BAHAMAS, including a round trip of over 3500 miles from GRENADA to the US and BACK AGAIN. This old boat has been on...
CONCERN about PIRACY on an OPEN OCEAN PASSAGE is unavoidable, even though we all know it's uncommon. We've been seemingly closely followed several times while at sea. When a non-descript power vessel follows your track for hours with no land in sight, how worried should you be? Enjoy!! ...
7 MONTHS and we STILL haven't FIXED OUR MOTOR. That's because we're considering an UNUSUAL SOLUTION. It'll be a lot of work, much of it custom, but we think ELECTRIC may be the answer. We'll explain why, PLUS it's finally time for us to set sail again. Time to say g...
A STERN CONCERT for a GREAT CAUSE and...are our GENERATOR ISSUES OVER?? Plus, waterfalls, a chocolate museum, and a fish market...with Chris and Mary arriving, Loren's birthday upon us, and our departure imminent, we're squeezing in as much of the good stuff as we can! Enjoy!! And be su...
LIVING on a 30-year-old CATAMARAN can be EXHAUSTING. We finally hit a point where we NEEDED a change of pace, somewhere on LAND. And since we're in the LAND of CHOCOLATE here in Grenada, what better spot than a CHOCOLATE PLANTATION?! We spend 3 days (and too many harrowing car ride hours) in...
Hi there! Last week Axel started cleaning the boat in preparation for spraying the last coat of HB white primer. This episode is a one man show! I’ll let Axel walk you through his wonderful journey of painting Wilda in white.
The LATEST UPDATE is that you can see what Wilda looks like in REAL TIME ...
LIFE on a 48-foot, 30-year-old CATAMARAN in the CARIBBEAN is a complex thing. We have to WORK EXTRA HARD for some things that most take for granted, BUT the rewards we receive BALANCE it out. GRENADA is a wonderful place to be for a sailing cruiser, even if some things require extra sweat and effo...
WHY did we SAIL THIS FAR? We FINALLY got to GRENADA after 2000 miles and MANY difficulties. Now that we're here, we're still struggling with the generator among many other things. But we're also enjoying the community and a multitude of other benefits of this beautiful island. Ult...
Have we FIXED the DEAD MOTOR? Does our GENERATOR RUN YET? We show you WHERE WE ARE in our PROJECT LIST and explain why a CATAMARAN RESTORATION LIST while LIVING ABOARD isn't a linear thing. We also show you exactly WHY we were so HELL BENT on sailing 2000 miles to GRENADA to do all this stuff....
We JUST completed a TOUGH UPWIND SAIL to MARTINIQUE from ST. CROIX. We're now a ONE DAY HOP from completing a 4000-MILE ROUND TRIP to GRENADA. We LOVE Martinique, but when a DOWNWIND weather window appears almost as soon as we arrive, we know we've gotta go. It's time to complete t...
We discover HIGH WATER in our ENGINE ROOM on a ROUGH and WINDY OCEAN PASSAGE. We pump out BUCKETS and continue on, unsure of where the leak is. But this is just one of many challenges passage making presents. We talk about the multiple layers of TRUST that allow us to keep calm and carry on. Enj...
SHIFTY WEATHER FORECASTS leave us APPREHENSIVE about out 3-DAY PASSAGE to MARTINIQUE. We could end up in NO MAN'S LAND trying to beat our way back to the WINDWARD ISLANDS. A half day into our voyage, we start getting an UNEASY feeling and find ourselves with a decision to make. Enjoy!! And ...
Not just ONE, but BOTH our GENERATORS STOP WORKING as we're ABOUT TO LEAVE for ST. MARTIN less than 2 WEEKS after ERIC's HOSPITAL STAY. With limited CHARGING our LITHIUM BATTERIES start to DIE. It's a scramble to get ANY GENERATOR working well enough to keep our systems going and NO...
EMERGENCY ROOM then 5 DAYS in the HOSPITAL. In the CARIBBEAN, with NO INSURANCE for the area, it's a NIGHTMARE for SAILORS. WHAT HAPPENED and WHAT WILL WE DO NOW. Enjoy!! And be sure to SUBSCRIBE for WEEKLY CONTENT EVERY SUNDAY! Cheers!!
Thanks for watching SailAway, the travel documentary...
1700 MILES UPWIND from the US to the VIRGIN ISLANDS in JUNE with only ONE FUNCTIONING MOTOR and the other JUST FIXED? It's a plan we NEVER STRAYED FROM for various reasons. While the vast majority of viewers were incredibly supportive, a SMALL FEW were VERY vocal about their disapproval. Now...
There have been FIXES, FAILURES, UPGRADES, and FUN since we SAILED 2000 MILES to Charleston over 6 months ago. 1500 ADDITIONAL MILES later, we're in SAN JUAN and FINALLY finishing up a LIFE CHANGING project we started back in Charleston. And the NEW PROJECTS keep coming, as do the EQUIPMENT F...
It feels like a MIRACLE that we're BACK in the CARIBBEAN, but already we have ANOTHER EQUIPMENT FAILURE - one that we HAVE TO FIX before we leave here. But what an AWESOME PLACE to be stuck! San Juan has been a HUGE FAVORITE of ours since our first visit, so we waste no time getting to know i...
It's 500 MILES UPWIND and AGAINST CURRENT from Mayaguana to the VIRGIN ISLANDS, with an EVER CHANGING WEATHER FORECAST at the WRONG TIME OF YEAR. It's our LAST LEG to finally return to the CARIBBEAN after a VERY long year. Whatever the wind brings us, we'll ADAPT, ADJUST, and OVERCO...
We're in the MIDDLE OF THE BAHAMAS and FIGHTING our way EAST before making the BIG LEAP to the VIRGIN ISLANDS and ultimately GRENADA before HURRICANES start marching across the Atlantic. But the winds are NOT agreeing with us and we seem to be going the WRONG WAY at every step. Enjoy!! And b...
