Leixoes, Portugal: The Doc dog is settling in nicely and we visit the city of Porto to see the Graham's port distillery. But our plans for departure are interrupted.
After recently purchasing a new Liferaft we were curious to know if our old raft had any life left in her. So of course - we just had to test her out!
Darren has always wanted to know if he could deploy our Liferaft in heavy weather by himself - and well...
After months of hard work, we finally manage to get our dog to the boat. It's a wonderful time for both Wendy and myself, and of course for Doc, who probably thought we'd abandoned him. Starting in Baiona, Spain, we head for Vigo, pick up Doc, then cruise ...
In our last episode we discovered that we have a corrosion issue with our Chainplates. Now these fella's are an integral part of Sarean's rig. However, they're not just fixed to the side of Sarean's hull – they're fully encased in fibreglass and hidden...
Tucked up a mangrove creek with preparations done, we await the arrival of a Category 5 Tropical Cyclone (TC Debbie) – and she was a BEAST! Watch as we sit through 3 days of furious weather, then head back to Shute Harbour to find the carnage there.
W...
With a Tropical Cyclone Debbie coming directly for us, we run to the safety of the mangroves to hide from what becomes the biggest storm to hit Australia's Whitsunday Coast in years! Learn how we chose our spot, what Storm Prep we do – and get a taste ...
Come get a taste of life on the sea, as we sail in all kinds of conditions from the open Pacific, around the southern tip of Baja Mexico to Cabo and then into the Sea of Cortez. This is real life sailing - we get soaked and beaten up by steep seas and 30 ...
Get ready for it to blow! These weren't super heavy winds but they were on the nose and had Plaintiff's Rest really heeled over during the second night and day of our voyage to Cuba. Our Niagara 35 proved she was up for the task though, practically saili...
Happy New Year! This week we squeeze four people overnight into a 27 foot boat as we sail out to the mouth of the manatee river during a cold front. We catch and cook our dinner that night and sail back upwind to Tampa in 20 knots.

Sailing to Madagascar we get hit by the biggest gale we've ever seen. We're about 240 miles East of the northern cape of Madagascar when the GRIB files start to show a compressed pressure gradient and forecasts of 30-40 knots.
We shorten sail and prepa...
We travel to San Francisco to look at a 1997 Grand Soleil GS 50. This is a slightly older version of the one we saw in Puerto Rico, and is a Doug Peterson design. The DP version carries the flavor of a German Frers Swan, with two separate cockpits separate...
We call our bosses to say we won't be in for the afternoon and head out to the lake. The wind proves gusty, hitting 15-18 - not the strongest we've seen by far, but enough to get us get us moving along at a good clip.

Offshore sailing guru John Kretschmer talks PFDs and life rafts, plus we deploy a Winslow offshore 6-man lift raft in open ocean conditions.

Sopers Hole to Cooper Island: We have breakfast in Sopers, then drop the mooring and head out for Cooper Island. Again, we have great wind and the ride is exciting. We pick up a mooring at Manchineel Bay on the east side of Cooper Island and almost im...
Hi, and welcome to Sailing at 9000! Our channel is part adventure travel and part "virtual sailing" ...
It's also a bit of "how to", especially as regards our restored and refitted Catalina 22 Swing Keel sailboat. A pocket cruiser if there ever was one .....
Ep 2- We leave Norman Island for Cruz Bay to clear into the USVI. Our intent was to overnight at Coral Harbor on St. John and then head for a big passage across to St. Croix. But wind and swells worked against us as a south wind built. The swells were huge...
Hurricane Patricia blesses us with 30 knots of breeze all the way into Pensacola Bay. Patricia sure packs some punch! This was easily the worst wind we have seen to date on our boat and we learned a good lesson about checking chafe points when you have y...
Under pressure to get Adam to his return flight in NYC, we pushed off from Norfolk, VA with a less than ideal weather forecast.
