Ep91. In this episode of Cruising Off Duty, we are wrapping up Day 1 of the show, which had us doing a marathon session of comparing all the Catamarans built by Fountaine Pajot, Lagoon and Leopard.
We show you 1 more Catamaran, which didn't really meet our criteria of being a possible future...
You asked for it, and here it is! This is the presentation we gave at my Grandma's retirement community in Bellevue, WA on April 30, 2017, covering the first half of our sailing circumnavigation. We cover a lot of topics from how we got started and the basics of Starry Horizons all the way to...

This episode we are lucky enough to be part of the panel at the World Cruising Club Ocean Sailing Seminar, and then we go (hypothetical) catamaran shopping! We line up the Fountaine Pajot Helia, the Nautitech 46 and the Antares 44. Which would we choose? Watch on, dear friends...
Thanks so much for...

Ep86, In this episode of Cruising Off Duty, we visit the Annapolis Sailboat Show, which has a lot of Catamarans on display. We are doing a multi-episode series comparing various sailing Catamarans on the basis of how comfortable it would be live on full time. In this first episode we cover one of...
S/V Julia sailed into Hilo, Hawaii on June 5th after 15 days at sea to mark the end of our second Pacific Crossing! And fortunately, this part of the passage didn't require me to jump in the ocean!
Instead, we got to focus on fishing, sailing (after finding the tradewinds) and even doing a fe...
We will be in Annapolis MD to check out the Annapolis Sailboat show from Thursday-Saturday (Oct 5th-7th). After the coverage we did on our channel last year, going over the various Catamaran at the show, we have been granted Media Passes and will be there to get a good look at the boats on the Thur...
Our second passage across the Pacific Ocean finally begins! San Francisco Bay gifted us a lovely fog to get started and off we went back out under the Golden Gate Bridge. The first few days at sea were a bit rough as we sailed upwind to avoid some nasty weather to the south of us.
When we were fi...
Apparently, we liked sailing crossing the Pacific Ocean so much, we just had to do it again! This time we hopped on board s/v Julia, a Helia Evolution, to help her owners Tom and Susan learn all about offshore sailing.
After tucking Starry Horizons in safe and sound in Tonga, we set off on an epic...
It's always the last day of a passage when things go wrong! We set sail from New Zealand to head back up to Tonga for another South Pacific cruising season. The passage was a bit of a tricky one with strong winds, then light winds and then shifting strong winds. We managed to take it all in...
Our time in New Zealand was rapidly drawing to a close. But before we could sail north for another cruising season in the South Pacific, there were a couple of things left on our New Zealand to-do list. Little Dipper (our tender) needed some TLC, there were more hikes to do and we were finally abl...
It's always awesome whenever we have guests come visit. And when those guests happen to be two lovely ladies, it's doubly awesome! Our friends Liz and Breena were on a New Zealand tour and joined us for an incredible week in the Bay of Islands.
The first stop was Motuarohia Island, wher...
What’s this?! An Out Chasing Stars channel trailer?? Well, we figured after almost three years of making videos, it was about time!
Meet Amy and David. We’re a couple of modern day adventurers who sold everything, bought a boat and are sailing around the world. Since Starry Horizons, our Helia ...
Back to the boat meant back to work and there was a lot to get done in order to prep Starry Horizons for another season of cruising. Our goal was to tackle as many projects by ourselves as we could. So we did big projects like new bottom paint and lots of smaller ones like replacing an outboard pr...
I fly from Puerto Rico to Saint Martin to inspect and possibly start sailing a new to us 2005 Lagoon 440! So exciting that we decided to release this video early!

Hey Everyone! It's taken a long time to upload this video in the South Pacific, but it's finally here!
This video has a little of everything -- fixing our broken dinghy engine in the mid...
After arriving in New Zealand, we spent a few days working on projects before setting out for Whangarei. We had a bit of time before our scheduled haul out so we elected to make a few stops along the way. The best of which was in Tutukaka harbour where we were entertained by some outrigger racing ...
The time had finally come to leave Fiji and set sail down to New Zealand. This passage is notorious for being rough and it certainly didn't disappoint. For the first three days we bashed through big seas and strong winds which took a toll on both boat and crew.
It wasn't all bad though ...
Story 47 -- Tahuata to Fakarava: Sailing the Dangerous Archipelago
Hey everyone!
First of all, here's a link to the Cruiser's Handbook of Fishing I mentioned:
And if you buy it using this link, we get a little kickback - so go add it to your cart if you don't already have it and y...
Now that we were sans guests, we had a little bit more exploring of Fiji to do. We found the beautiful Navadra island, complete with the only inhabitants: rogue goats. We were completely mystified as to how they ended up there, and the goats themselves weren't in a mood to answer our question...
