Our time in Dominica comes to a pretty rough ending!
We grab a mooring in Roseau and head ashore to explore downtown, only to realize we’ve LOST our cellphone as we head back home. 😩 Not exactly how we planned to spend our last days on one of our favorite Caribbean islands!
Back at the boat, thing...
We thought we knew what Caribbean adventure looked like… then we got to Dominica.
This island completely blew us away. We chased waterfalls through the rainforest, swam beneath one of them, explored the famous Indian River, stepped into a filming location from Pirates of the Caribbean, and somehow ...
After nearly two years of always moving toward the next island, the next passage, the next boat project, or the next deadline… life aboard Big Lost finally got quiet.

After 3 months apart, Ryan is finally back in Canada, Brittni is about to give birth and we can officially say it… We bought a catamaran! The 48ft Fountaine Pajot Salina 48 is ours!
In this sit down we answer the questions you’ve all been asking in the comments of our l...
This was NOT the Caribbean we expected.
Sailing south through the Eastern Caribbean brought us to Guadeloupe—and what we found completely surprised us.
After leaving St. Kitts and Nevis and making a quick stop in Montserrat, we sailed Isla into Deshaies, Guadeloupe, ready to get off the boat and e...
We set out to explore Dominica’s famous Indian River… but somehow managed to lose the trail!
What followed turned into one of those adventures that makes Dominica so incredible. We wandered through thick jungle, crossed the river and found ourselves surrounded by huge twisted roots that looked str...
We thought our biggest problem was a broken dinghy… until one of our engines refused to start and a massive wave came crashing through the front door of our boat.
After six hours troubleshooting the engine in the Florida heat, Steve finally got us moving again. But our first real day sailing north ...
We were almost ready to leave Tahiti when our friends on SV Palarran pulled into the anchorage—and suddenly, we had a very good reason to stay.
Cruising friendships are unpredictable. You never really know when your paths will cross again, so when the kids’ friends showed up, we changed our plans a...
We say goodbye to Guadeloupe and set sail for Dominica, but it definitely isn't the smooth Caribbean sail we were hoping for!
The day starts with a bad feeling in my gut before we head out into a rough, lumpy sea for the crossing to Dominica. 🌧️⛵ It isn't our most comfortable passage, but...
Our dinghy died miles from our sailboat as darkness closed in and a massive lightning storm rolled toward us. Then our hair began standing straight up—the terrifying warning that lightning could strike at any moment.
What was supposed to be a simple family sailing trip from Miami to Key Largo for k...
We left Idaho looking for a different life. We had no idea that decision would eventually take our family across the Caribbean, through the Panama Canal, across the Pacific Ocean and all the way to French Polynesia.
This week, the weather kept us sitting still in Tahiti—and for once, that gave us a...
Sailing Guadeloupe with the family ⛵ Another beautiful stretch of Caribbean cruising!
We start out anchored in Malendure, where it’s time to tackle one of the less glamorous parts of boat life — the grocery run! With the boat stocked up, we jump into the clear Caribbean water for another incredible...
What was supposed to be a manageable overnight sail from the USVIs to St. Martin turned into one of the hardest passages we’ve experienced as a sailing family.
The forecast said one thing. The ocean gave us something completely different.
We found ourselves beating directly into the wind and waves...
One of the questions we get all the time: where do you put all your food?! A little look inside our galley, how we organize food, and where we manage to fit everything when your kitchen also has to survive life at sea.
Our 4-year-old Coral is taking her underwater adventures to a whole new level! 🤿🌊
We explore the incredible Réserve Cousteau in Guadeloupe, where the water is crystal clear, the reef is full of life, and Coral starts diving below the surface all on her own. Watching her confidence grow underwater a...
We bought a Leopard 50 catamaran, moved our family of six aboard—and immediately discovered our new home wouldn’t even fit at the dock. This is the chaotic reality of becoming a full-time sailing family.
After saying goodbye to everything familiar and catching a one-way flight to Florida, it was fi...
After waiting out 30-knot winds in Cook’s Bay, Moorea, we finally get the weather window we need to make the short trip to Tahiti — where we’re hoping to finally get some answers about an electrical problem that has been following us for months.
But first, there’s fishing line wrapped around our an...
We actually did it. We sold almost everything we own, said goodbye to our home, our cabin, our cars, our pets, our friends and the life our kids have always known… and boarded a plane to Florida to begin our new life sailing around the world.
This episode is the end of one chapter for our family—an...
One last adventure at Grande Anse, one of the most beautiful beaches we’ve found in Guadeloupe before making the short hop to Deshaies. There we enjoy some delicious local treats and cool off with a swim in the river. Then it’s time to keep sailing south along the coast of Guadeloupe. The condition...

This week aboard Isla, Nana and Gogo join our family to celebrate my 40th birthday, and what started as a family visit became one of our favorite weeks of boat life.
We waste no tim...
We needed to get Big Lost to Tahiti.
After dealing with alternator problems off and on since Saint Martin, there’s an alternator specialist in Tahiti who can finally help us figure out what’s going on. But sometimes the smartest decision you can make while cruising is deciding not to go.
With 25–3...
Anse Leroux, Guadeloupe is perfect, with crystal-clear water, a close by beach and fantastic snorkeling just a short ride from the boat.
From there, we take a long dinghy ride to the colorful village of Deshaies, where we wander the charming streets and discover an amazing local bakery serving deli...
When we left home to sail around the world, we thought the hardest part would be leaving our family behind.
