It has been a wild summer and we have covered many miles yet again to going from Mexico to Hawaii to the West Coast of the USA and back to Mexico then Colorado and again back to Mexico. Whoa!
We are officially back together again and this time on our new ...
Warren has been working so hard on so many projects and upgrades on the boat. It's the middle of the summer in Mexico and he is installing new solar panels, re-wiring power lines, working in small tight spaces and starting to feel the heat, meanwhile I (Er...
WE begin to work again on the boat, well actually just Warren begins to work on the new projects and upgrades for our New Fountaine Pajot Helia 44.
We have a list of upgrades and improvements that we would like to have done on VA, many similar to the pro...
Before we get started on our 4th season of sailing, we have accumulated a lot of funny raw clips and bloopers from season 3 sailing adventures of WE.
We have captured a lot of footage and not all of it is, well good but it is gold. Here is a little glimps...
We start a new chapter of adventures but this time it's on a new boat. We have officially moved aboard our new 2015 Fountaine Pajot Helia sailing catamaran and begin the process of handing over the baton to the new owners of Evolias.
A lot of emotions ar...

Big episode this week as we spray gelcoat on some of the repairs with a $20 spray gun and drill it out to be suitable for gelcoat. Our brand new mast and rigging arrives and we install of the extras and then step the mast ourselves, saving thousands of dol...
We get to work on a salvage boat after driving it over from the Bahamas to Florida. We haul her out in Riviera beach and start ripping yards and yards of rotten/wet balsa core out of her hulls. We leave no stone unturned as try to find good dry core throug...
We finally manage to leave the Bahamas on a hurricane damaged 2015 fountain pajot Helia 44. We go through a few of the things I did to prepare for this passage across the Gulf Stream to Florida, but get pulled over by the cops on arrival. We weren't breaki...
The Indian Ocean is big. It's daunting. It can throw wicked storms at you out of nowhere. But in order to sail around the world, we had to sail cross it.
The first step in that journey was sailing from Phuket, Thailand over to Trincomalee, Sri Lanka. ...
Up to this point, most of our time in Thailand had been spent in boatyards. And that's not exactly how we pictured spending our time in SE Asia. So with the boatwork (finally!) finished, we set out to do a more thorough exploration of Phi Phi Island.
Th...
We'd been having a pretty rough time lately, with a bad haul-out, followed by hitting a reef which necessitated another haul-out only a few weeks later. So when my sister wanted to plan a trip to Thailand, we were absolutely thrilled to have a good excuse...
There's a saying that if a sailor claims to have never run aground, they're either on their first sail or lying. We're certainly not on our first sail, but we've been fortunate that all previous encounters with the sea floor have been with soft mud or san...
Our arrival into Thailand didn't go so well but with the holidays coming up and a visit from my brother on the horizon, we knew that Thailand would turn itself around!
To celebrate Christmas, we managed to once again meet up with Carlos from 22 South, thi...
It had to happen sometime... Thus far, all our haul outs had gone smoothly and easily. But this experience hauling out at PSS Shipyard in Satun, Thailand was our worst one yet.
We managed to fix the leaking through-hull that was the reason for the haul ...
Having guests visit is always a blast, especially when those guests are so interested in the realities of cruising life. Our friends Denitsa and Niki actually VOLUNTEERED (well... one of them volunteered the other) to help out with boat projects. I coul...
Disclaimer... ships in camera are much closer than they appear! In order to continue our Southeast Asia adventures, we had to make our way up the notorious Malacca Straits. This meant we were once again tangling with the big ships, with the added compli...
After 100 days in Indonesia, it was time to finally leave the country. But in order to do that, we had to cross one of the busiest shipping lanes in the world... the Singapore Straits!
We'd spent days watching a constant stream of ships and knew a good p...
We continue to exploring the beautiful french island of corsica byt Fountaine Pajot 47 Catamaran and do some provisioning in Porto Vecchio.

Sailing across the equator is special moment. It's even more special when you cross with friends who have never done it before, aka Pollywogs!
We had become Shellbacks (sailors who've crossed the equator) on our way to the Galapagos way back in 2016. So...
The countdown is on! Our latitude is getting closer and closer to zero as we approach the equator for the second time on our circumnavigation!
Of course, to get there, we had to work for it. The winds close to the equator are incredibly light, but someh...
Sailing in Indonesia is always an adventure. If we're not dodging fishing boats and FADs, apparently we need to keep an eye out for waterspouts!
We had a couple water spouts form way too close for comfort on our sail over to Belitung. Fortunately, we es...
It's time for some real talk. Sailing in Indonesia is not very fun or very easy. And here's why:
There are fish attraction devices (FADs) everywhere, including in extremely deep water, they don't have lights and you can't see them on radar. And if you'...
What's not to love about Bali? It really does have it all. We had some good sailing, went and dove a WWII wreck, hiked some secret waterfalls, visited a Balinese temple on a lake, flew a drone over some gorgeous rice fields and celebrated Amy's birthday....
Something AWESOME is coming!
