This is it — our very last sail for just the two of us, before we add another crew member! We look back on the three years we’ve spent on our boat, what’s fun and not so fun about monohulls, and what our biggest goal in life is.
Hope you enjoy!

…because then it wouldn’t be special! The weather, wind and waves all came together on our sail from Marco Island up to Ft Myers. Even our erratic (and nearly departed) auto helm, Otto von Cranky, decided to pull some weight! As our cruising journey as a couple comes to a close, days like this are t...
This gorgeous sail in the blue water of the Atlantic was one for the books, despite Kirk doing lots of fishing and no catching, and Lauren almost losing her breakfast. Join us as we sail fifty miles south against the Gulf Stream along the east coast of Florida.
This was our favorite sailing day of ...
Hello! In this video, we’re still in the boatyard in Almerimar and we continue with our boat jobs - including repainting the hull and repainting our boot stripe. We polish up the prop and apply a special prop antifouling to it as well. We take some time away from the boatyard to go and explore the s...
Tough question to answer isn’t it? We get to ponder this while several storm systems hand out lightning bolts and wind gusts aplenty in this episode!
If bad weather is on the horizon, our instinct is to find a safe anchorage and hole up while it blows over. This is usually the prudent option; altho...
Hello and welcome back! In this video we set sail from Moraira on the eastern coast of Spain. We head straight down to Almerimar, which is about 210 nautical miles away or a 2 day sail away.
We enjoy the slow pace of life at sea, we watch some movies, play games, hang out on the bow, do some bakin...
What would you do if it seemed like the world was ending? Would panic set in as you began thinking about all the things you didn’t do, the places you didn’t go, or the relationships you didn’t spend enough time nurturing? Or would you carry on living your life as you are, because you’re living with ...
“There’s good news and bad news.” When someone says that, is it ever really good? 😂
On our way south down the east coast of Florida, we stop in Stuart to have a professional rigger from Mack Sails take a look over our standing rigging. We had a bunch of questions:
1) After being hit by lightning t...
Time travel with us in this episode to NOW! -- April 2021 -- for a real-time update, and to meet our lil' babe, Renata!
Many folks warned us that being parents is one of the most difficult and rewarding experiences they’ve had in their lives. Because we seem to enjoy doing everything the hard...
On this episode we replace an escape hatch that could have sunk our boat! It comes from an issue with the escape hatches that have been know to detach from the sailboat hull, usually causing the boat to sink and we fixed it just in time!
We have know about this issue for a while now, and its somet...
The boat is afloat, and we are on our way south! Just because we left the yard though doesn’t mean the boat work is finished. Duh. We still need to tune the rig, bend on the sails and climb the mast to attach the instruments. There’s a bunch of plumbing that needs attention and a manual bilge pump w...
We’re makin’ moves. The mast goes up, the engine gets a checkup, as does the rudder assembly. It’s time to get the boat back in the water — after we figure out how to finagle the centerboard back into its trunk.
But that’s not all... Big changes are on the horizon.
Much love,
Lauren & Kirk

Ciao! In this video, we’re in Sardinia and we sail to the incredibly unique and odd island of Asinara just off the northwestern coast of Sardinia. Asinara is pretty much uninhabited, and is a national park, home to lots of wildlife (including donkeys, and a rare population of white albino donkeys) b...
Maintaining a 40-year-old sailboat can be mentally draining. To be successful, not only do you need be a good electrician, diesel mechanic, plumber, seamstress, cook, project manager and sailor, it also doesn’t hurt to be a good bartender.
We tackle a pile of projects in the episode, including rein...
A little about us and why we decided to leave everything behind and start a life at sea! Subscribe to stay up to date with all our adventures - we hope to see you out here soon!
A huge thanks to everyone who is supporting the making of these videos and the blog. We wouldn't be doing this wit...
It seems ridiculous, but it’s the reason we worry so much about our boat. It’s the reason we agonize over every little decision about maintenance and upgrades. Our boat is too nice.
When we bought our boat, the surveyor declared it to be in Bristol condition. A 38 year-old boat! The previous owner...
Stocking Island, on the other side of the harbor from Georgetown, in the Bahamas is everything we ever hoped it would be! Our Catamaran cut through the cystal clear water, and this is what dreams are made of. We have been anchored at Monument and staring up at the Beacon on Stocking Island for a few...
It’s tempting to think we’re cursed. After our boat was struck by lighting, we thought Mother Nature might go easy on us for a while. No such luck.
After leaving the boat on the hard in Florida, we drove up to the Midwest to put some miles between us and the hurricane season threatening the Atlanti...
If lightning hits your boat, hope Zeus taps it lightly, like he did Soulianis. After a thunderstorm rolled through St Augustine, Florida, we weren’t even sure if we’d been hit. But the over the next couple of days, we discovered more and more electronics no longer working, and our VHF antenna had be...
This week we're reminded how much we love Ruby Rose and what a brilliant sailing boat she really is, as we encounter PERFECT (no, really- absolutely perfect) sailing conditions off the French coast. Sails go up and off we fly!

*** This is Part 2 of 2! Watch Part 1 here: ***
Just as we’re about to tuck Soulianis away for the summer season, our good fortune with Mother Nature runs out. Did we really expect to get through of all of these storms scot free?
One afternoon while floating on our mooring ball in St Augustine, a...
We’re back in the US of A! After arriving in New Smyrna Beach, we make our way north on the ICW to St. Augustine, then hop on bicycles to explore the nation’s oldest city.
It’s storm season in Florida, where small but fierce thunderstorms are whipped up almost every afternoon. When the dark clouds ...
This week we're in Vannes, South Brittany in France and WOW this place is magical. We moor our boat up just outside a pub (winning!!) and explore this exceptional town. While we're here we have some BIG NEWS to share and this episode we share some behind the scenes footage of that big anno...
Sailing the blue waters of Eleuthera, we party with the locals, find an uncharted blue hole, free dive with sharks, and find a problem with our engine we must fix before we can continue on our voyage through the Bahamas and on to the Caribbean.
