This November 2018 crazy storm on Lake Erie will be remembered. We experience some intense flooding with the storm surge and 50-60 knots wind. Who knew waves could get that big on a lake. And after the storm it's time for our sailboat to haul out. And it's not the nicest day as we wake up ...
This episode shows us sailing and exploring the beauty of the 1000 islands near the end of the sailing season. We explore the area around the Beaurivage anchorage and have a few laughs when Janice tries out her stand up paddleboard for the first time. We also take a walking tour of the paths on Be...
We went provisioning for a multi-day sailing trip to Long Point while we had a nice weather window. But our dinghy davits snapped right off.

There's nothing better or more entertaining than sailing on Lake Erie with a baby on board. Alex's brother Nico and his family join us for a few days on our sailboat. Plus we finally get a well needed upgrade.

Sailing into Chicago was pretty surreal for us. We first began hatching cruising plans while living in the city ten years ago. Now, looking back at the shoreline we used to walk along, a sailboat floating only in our imaginations, it feels like we’ve come full circle, our dream now a very real 20,00...
This is it! After years of preparation, we’re finally untying the dock lines, leaving our homeport, and pointing our bow south.
Our first stop is Chicago, Illinois. It’s 50 nautical miles from Racine, Wisconsin, to Belmont Harbor, where our friends Katharine and Jon have offered us the use of their...
Just one week is left before we depart our home port of Racine, Wisconsin — for good!?! — and take off south down the river.
The list of projects, errands, and to-dos is still a mile long. We need to buy anchor chain, install an anchor swivel, hook up plumbing to our secondary water tank, install s...
Settle in… we’ve got our first 20+ min episode for you! The river trip is right around the corner, and our preparations start getting serious. The list of boat projects we want to complete (as discussed in Ep 15) before leaving Lake Michigan is LONG. If, hypothetically, we had to pick just one proje...
We left Canada on August 6th and are headed for the Caribbean. Join us in this episode as we navigate the Erie Canal, lift bridges, and locks.

A leaky marine head can be a very shitty situation. At one point during our shakedown cruise around Lake Michigan, (thanks to a combination of rollicking seas, a leaky hand pump, and plain ignorance) we ended up with toilet water where it SHOULDN’T be — outside the bowl. Thankfully it was mostly con...
Back in our homeport of Racine, we start tackling the long list of projects we want to finish before leaving for our journey down “The Ditch.”
Kirk researches the heck out of LED bulbs. He determines the warm Kakanuo bulb to be the best option — based on color cast, energy consumption and brightne...
That’s a wrap on our shakedown sail! In this episode, after sailing back across Lake Michigan to our home port of Racine, Wisconsin, and getting a little weird during the crossing (being alone on a boat definitely makes you go a little batty), we talk through everything we learned during our 3-week ...
Freshwater surfing! Kirk’s beyond stoked to get a chance to surf Lake Michigan.
After leaving Charlevoix, we snuck into Leland just before a cold front moved in. The front brought strong winds that ended up sticking around for three days, which prevented us from being able to leave, but on the fli...
Summer in Michigan is magic, because it’s so fleeting. It usually arrives sometime in June, and by the time you’ve attended a family get together and a wedding or two, it’s already August, and you’re wondering where the heck the time went…
If you’re like most, you manage to squeeze in a week of vac...
Every summer as Kirk was growing up, his family would visit Charlevoix, a quaint vacation town located on a skinny isthmus between Round Lake and Lake Michigan.
Round Lake was a boating mecca; all sorts of craft paraded across its waters, waiting for the fuel dock, or a city marina slip, heading t...
The Tartan 37 is ours, and it’s time to celebrate! With the 4th of July arriving just days after we close on the boat, we decide it’s rather fitting to pop some bubbly and celebrate our own new-found freedom… from land!
The hardest part of moving aboard is figuring out where to put our stuff. Fortu...
WE FINALLY BUY A SAILBOAT. It feels like we’ve been searching for a boat forever! In this episode we finally buy a boat, a beautiful Tartan 37.
Before we find the Tartan, we look at two other options in the Milwaukee area: a Pearson 38 and a Southerly 35. The Pearson had been left on the hard for a...
We show you a slice of our San Diego lives, and talk about why we decided to leave our beach cottage in California — for life aboard a sailboat.
Our search for the right sailboat took years: We researched thousands of sailboats online, saw hundreds in person. We made some crazy decisions, like dri...
Cruising Off Duty passed 9,000 Subscribers yesterday! We just wanted to thank everyone for their support and say that we really enjoy bringing these episodes to you. When we break 10,000 subscribers we plan to do a Live Celebration episode, where we will do a Q&A and answer any questions from ...
Third part of our 2014 North Channel adventure. Some of the poor audio and duplicate pictures have been corrected.
