In this vlog we take you on a typical day for us at anchor. Pretty much every day we get some projects done, film, do some editing, and run errands. Our boat is 100% powered by the sun so we're not dependent on going to shore for anything but food and drin...
Ever look at marine cabin flooring and be turned off because of the price? We have too. What's so great about it that demands such a premium? We've spoken to real cruisers who have used other products and get a similar result for MUCH less.
We decided to...
We're super stoked to have our new headsail up on the boat and we can't wait to go sailing with it! The sail came out great, it looks awesome, and it fits really well. Initially, we're definitely impressed.
We're just one step closer to more tropical wate...
In this vlog we broke the first rule of seamanship: beware the land. We made a few HUGE mistakes including but not limited to:
1. Failing to plan
2. Trying to go into an unknown anchorage at night
3. Not turning back when we saw breakers on both sides of ...
Not only are we in the water, but WE'RE SAILING!!! In this vlog we finish up a couple projects and start making our way out of the canal and into Charlotte Harbor.
We installed a brand new Electric Yacht motor and twelve Lithium Battleborn batteries not ...
Where have we been???
Well, the simple explanation is we had to fire up the afterburners on our necessary boat projects to be able to get in the water before the 15th, meaning no time for editing and minimal filming. Why before the 15th? The yard we were...
This is the second phase of our solid surface countertop install. We're doing this project slowly phase by phase because we've got so many other projects going on as well. It's finally to the point where it's functional so that we can go in the water, live...
In this vlog we finally get the new headliner in the salon area of our sailboat. We used a tongue and groove style vinyl beadboard found at Home Depot. It's completely waterproof and should never rot. The trim is also vinyl. We also added 1/2" XPS foam ins...
"I'd rather not do that again." Laying up fiberglass upside-down is definitely a tricky, messy process. The stringers we laid up in this episode will serve as a mounting point for the new headliner. We're super excited to cover up all this bare fiberglass ...
For this Casual Friday video we decided to make light of some of the mean comments we've received over the years, and read them to you guys!
Obviously, this was a little bit off topic from the normal boat-related content, but that's what Casual Fridays a...
We needed a new headsail, so we're measuring for a new one from Precision Sails! Measuring your own rig is so easy, we did it while in chairs and funny hats the whole time. I hope you enjoy this Casual Friday episode. Have a good weekend!

She's back! Randi left me for six days to go visit her sister in Oregon, giving me the opportunity to push my work ethic to it's limit. She's back now and is hopefully going to be impressed with the work I got done.
In this vlog I managed to do a little ...
Randi left me for six days to go visit her sister in Oregon, giving me the opportunity to push my work ethic to it's limit. I'm challenging myself to get as much work done as possible while she's gone, so that when Randi returns she will be amazed.
In thi...

In this vlog we replace our cutlass bearing in a very unconventional way. We really wish we could have done it the "right" way but previous galvanic corrosion of the strut really made us feel as though we shouldn't remove the old bearing jacket for fear of...
You answered our poll and we're delivering. This is the first of many "Casual Friday" episodes coming your way. Who's excited for more content?!
Our old cutlass bearing looks to be corroded in place. Can we leave it there, take out the old rubber, and ins...

Freebie is starting to look much, much better. It's amazing what a fresh paint job can do to a 40 year boat! We also start the project of making our Sailrite dodger by hand in this video.

In this vlog we sanded our topsides, dry-fitted our electric motor, and continued with the solid surface galley install. Things are starting to come together and although everything is still ...
We install our new Battleborn LifePo4 batteries for our electric sailboat build in this vlog. We also make progress on the battery box and galley refit.
Our end goal for this boat is to be completely off the grid. Sure, going completely electric will be ...

The reality of living aboard a sailboat and refitting it at the same time is that you develop a condition known as Multiple Project Disorder. Symptoms include, but are not limited to:

We've been making a lot of progress on our electric sailboat conversion. We cut out and removed the diesel tank which was fiberglassed in place by the factory. We also made some modifications buy cutting and grinding away some non-structural partitions on ...
We removed our 2004 Westerbeke diesel in preparation to install an electric motor powered by marine-grade lithium batteries. Removing the diesel was a filthy job. We pretty much got covered in oil and diesel during the process. We're super excited for it ...
