Intercepted by an A-4 off the Atlantic Coast [OFFSHORE SAILING]
Rounding Cape Hatteras requires careful planning and the right weather conditions, but even then we were in for a few surprise visitors as we rounded the great cape on our migration south for the winter. We lost the wind for a time, but enjoyed some epic sailing on our way to Wrightsville Beach to s...
Single Easiest Tip to Sailing a Catamaran FASTER
Knowing how to balance your sail plan is critical on any boat, but it's especially important on a catamaran because it doesn't heel over to spill the wind. It's also more difficult to feel when a catamaran is out of balance or over-canvassed. This week we make a run up the Chesapeake ...
14 Inexpensive Improvements for Life Aboard Our Catamaran
Our Catamaran Clarity has been our home for the last five years. We've made plenty of improvements to her rigging, electrical system, electronics, upholstery, etc, etc, etc. Most of these projects cost in the thousands of dollars, if not tens of thousands of dollars. But as in life ashore, it&#...
Things We Do For PEACE of Mind on the Ocean
We checked a couple BIG projects off the list. Nick replaces the motor mounts on our Yanmar engines, we update our ditch bag and show you what's in there in case we have to abandon ship. We also move the life raft, hoist the jib and prep for our new mainsail. #DIY #Cruising #Sailing #ditchbag...
Well THAT Escalated Quickly – Returning to Clarity
Things don't go to plan...as usual. With flights cancelled, getting stuck in Portland turns out to be a good thing. Then it's back to the boat for some more big projects. One of our lithium batteries goes bad, we find a long-term leak and some rotten wood in the boat, then it's time t...
SAILING IS THE CURE! ….one small problem…

MYSTERY SOLVED! So We Sail 800 Miles North in the Gulf Stream
The mystery behind our engine running warm is solved, so we sailed 800 miles north. Barnacle Buster saved the day! We had a hot running engine, so we came back to Ft Lauderdale to troubleshoot. One of our earliest Patrons, Patrick Laclerc saw what was going on and brought over his company's pro...
WHAT DO YOU FEAR MOST? OUR TOP 5 WORRIES

DYNEEMA FAILURE – hanging by a thread!

WHY DID IT TAKE US FOUR YEARS TO FIGURE THIS OUT?
Long hours at the helm in a seaway are brutal on the backside. This week Megan puts her sewing skills to the test and makes one of the most important additions to the boat....ever. And she did it out in the middle of nowhere, aka the Ragged Islands of the Bahamas. Plus we find a peacock out in the r...
MEGA YACHTS DRIVING US CRAZY!
The sailing has been fantastic, but when we head for a hint of civilization to get some internet, we get swarmed by mega yachts and giga yachts. The crowd sends us running for isolated coves and beaches in the Central Exumas and the Exumas Land and Sea Park where we caught the infamous GREEN FLASH o...
Captain Down! Injury Underway – SEASON FINALE

How We Budget and Spend – Maintenance Costs for a Leopard 46 Catamaran

Electrical gremlins just before we depart the US

Gulf Stream Craziness – Abacos to North Carolina
We take our Leopard 46 catamaran from the Abacos Island of the Bahamas to the Cape Fear River in North Carolina.

Rig Fix and Whale Tale in the Abacos
We backtrack to Marsh Harbor via a questionable shallow short-cut to meet up with our rigger to fix our bent cap shroud. By chance we cross paths with our South African friends aboard Top Secret, the most amazing charter boat to private yacht conversion we've ever seen. Contact info: www.sailcl...
