During our stay at Rudder Cut Cay, which is David Copperfield’s private island and home to the underwater mermaid and piano sculpture, we had a bunch of fun learning to use our spear pole and catching lobster. A fellow Canadian sailor taught us how to efficiently and easily clean our lobster catche...

We take a break from our boat jobs and go in visit a waterfall outside of San Blas.
We finish up our jobs for the time being and finally leave San Blas. Excited to get back on the water and explore somewhere new!
We set sail for our next destination, somewhere on anchor!

Thank you to Maurice and Cas from Jan Thiel Diving who were the most patient with us while we were growing our underwater lungs (especially Maurice :p) We had a great experience with them and would love to come back to dive with them again!

Thank you so much to Predict Wind for making it possible for us to give away an Iridium Go to a lucky subscriber!
When Ryan and I decided to start sailing across oceans, we figured we needed a satellite communications solution that allowed us to do voice calls. At that time, we only had a Garmin...
Our favorite local businesses in Curacao:
A year ago, we kicked off 2020 sailing into Martinique. This year, as Polar Seal was in the yard, we weren’t sure we would be able to replicate the experience. That was until our friends on SY Aequus, a beautiful Bavaria 57C from 2018, invited us for a fou...

Welcome to the yard, and one of the first project of our season prep! Ryan wanted to change the cutlass bearing, which was due for a replacement after 13 years of good and loyal services.
Since replacing the cutlass bearing involved removing the prop shaft, this seemed to be a good opportunity t...

13 hours? No problem, quick 3 hour sail? Oh was that an experience!
We had a very pleasant 13 hour sail crossing the Great Bahama Bank from North Bimini, Bahamas to Chub Cay, Berry Islands, Bahamas. What we thought was going to be a short quick 3 hour sail from Chub Cay to New Providence ended up ...

In San Blas, Mexico, we are finally getting out mast put back in! The awesome guys at the boat yard had never attempted it before but we decided to try anyway, with a boat lift! haha
They assured us they could make it happen!
Luckily after a lot of readjusting we finally got it in.
We put...

Still in San Blas, Mexico, we tried to finish our boat jobs quickly. So excited to get back on the hook and explore.
We took a break one day and headed up the ruins of an old fort.
Finally able to play with our new drone down here in Mexico!
We hauled out and painted the bottom and kept o...
REAL TIME UPDATE! We are off to the Maldives! In this video we get a little more technical and show a lot of the preparation that has gone into making this passage possible. We also say goodbye to Thailand after one life changing year (2020 of course) cruising here.
If you want to follow our journ...
Merry Christmas guys!!!! This year, there’s nothing more than we could wish for ourselves than being reunited with Polar Seal in time for Christmas.
After flying from Spain, isolating ourselves at our friend’s farm in Sweden for two weeks, taking a (negative) covid test 48 hours before flying and a...

We leave Punta Mita and start heading north so we can take our boat out of the water while we go home to work for hurricane season.
We decided to stop into San Blas to refuel and provision for our trip.
As we were sitting at the fuel dock is when the pandemic broke out and marinas and town...
Start with part 1:
In the wake of our failed experience crossing the Atlantic on a big motor yacht (watch this: and this: for context) we felt that our experience was full of many learning opportunities that we wanted to share with you.

When we decided to abort mission on crewing the big motor yacht, we knew that we were going to deal with a HUGE mess.
But because we were looking at potentially way more trouble at sea, we chose the mess on land.
In this week’s video, we deal with the aftermath of choosing to not crew on the m...

We sail from La Cruz to Punta de Mita. This journey wasn’t a long one, just to the tip of Banderas Bay but we saw the most whales we’ve ever seen in that short of time! Every tack we made we were dodging them.
The engine breaks down and we have no idea why so we have no choice but to sail...

We sail out of La Paz with our next destination being Banderas Bay. We check out a few anchorages on our way down to los frailes.
We arrived there late in the day and went to bed. When we woke up it was Travs birthday and we were ready to set sail. It would take us about three days to go ...
In this vid we share our passage from New Zealand to Tubuai, Austral Islands. We chose to take the southern route in the higher latitudes where we picked up the westerlies to make almost 2000 miles of easting before we turned North towards our destination. By taking the longer and harder route we ac...

We sail out of Cabo San Lucas and off to get propane. We thought it would take a quick hour maybe! but it turned into an all day event. We called the day before and we were told that we could buy it at the marina fuel dock, but upon arrival, they didn't actually sell it there. So off on...

A couple of days ago, we released a video about “how we are going back to Polar Seal”. At the time we published it, we weren’t sure that it was a good idea to make it public anymore, but event...
We are going back to Polar Seal!!! And we’ve been hiding something from you…
Alright guys, it is time that we come clean about something :)
In September, we realized that we really needed to get back to Polar Seal. She is our home, and we simply cannot leave her baking under the sun in Curacao. ...
We're pushing off from Greenland aboard our 42 foot sailboat bound for Ireland...or are we? The boat is stowed and the crew is rested, but even the best laid plans cannot compete with the raw nature in this harsh land. A few icebergs and gale force winds make us reconsider in a hurry. Should we...
