New Sail FAIL – Taking Responsibility – Now We’re FREE

Sails, weight, props, and technique...these make the biggest difference in handling and performance on a catamaran. Learned a huge lesson working with a sailmaker to design a sail for our cat, and things don’t go well. Ever wondered what an additional 1000 lbs does to the waterline of a catamaran? P...

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...

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...

DYNEEMA FAILURE – hanging by a thread!

Our time in the Exumas is winding down and it's likely we won't be back for a long, long time. We're ready to get north, but the wind shuts down completely. What do we do? We get to work and we enjoy the water! #dyneema #cruising #sailing #paradise #exumas #tinyhome #trampoline #cata...

THE BIG DECISION MAKES ITSELF!

The laughter has helped, but we aren't going to lie, this has been a bit painful for us. We always said that cruising a small boat around should be called "decisioning," This year the decision has been based on whether we should sail north to New England and Maine, or south to Panama....

CATAMARAN SAILING & BAHAMAS ANCHORAGES – SLOW TV – Nick’s Music

I started making the music for our channel to avoid copyright notices. Some of the music is inspirational and used for video intros. Others tracks are slower, ambient, and more meditative. These tracks are produced with a mix of samples, loops, and MIDI played on my Linnstrument. I use Logic Pro at ...

BOAT LIFE: Hard to leave PARADISE

Clarity is her name, but right now a bit of confusion about which way to go. While we figure out whether it is north or south, we enjoy the last of the Ragged Islands of the southern Bahamas. Also, we rescue Megan's hair from certain demise. #sailing​ #sailinglife​ #boatlife #catamaran #Baham...

BORDERS CLOSED – where would YOU go?

We are pinned down by weather and our tourist visas are running out, but a bigger question looms on the horizon: where do we go for hurricane season? North to Maine or south to Panama? Each direction has merit, so we break it down with a classic pro's and con's list. LIP BALM RECIPE 2 Tab...

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...

ARE WE WELCOME HERE? Cruising the Abacos after Hurricane Dorian

We can all learn something from The Abacos. Hurricane Dorian tore the islands apart in September 2019 and the devastation in some areas is incredible. But the human spirit should never be underestimated. We were inspired by the people we met and the challenges they are overcoming. Patreon: Square...

THE TRUTH ABOUT CODE ZERO SAILS ON CATAMARANS – Light Air to South Florida

We had high hopes for the Code Zero...the sail is an incredibly popular setup on newer boats. The idea of making good time with the sails instead of firing up the engines... sounds perfect! And while the sail DOES deliver on that promise, when conditions are right...but conditions aren't right ...

WHY DID THE ENGINE QUIT?

It was an exciting week aboard Clarity as we made some miles south and took a few lumps along the way. Stopping off in St. Augustine, we were able to set things right with our port engine, but took a shot to our starboard bow. We also had a great time with friends, celebrating our favorite holiday. ...

Spinnaker Tips & Are Electric Motors Practical?

Getting around the “Graveyard of the Atlantic,” Cape Hatteras, was a non-event. The wind filled in and we had an awesome run into the Chesapeake.

We tuck up into alligator territory to escape Tropical Storm Bertha and the dolphins follow us. The Admiral has a birthday and we go full on dirty keto carbfest, but it is worth it.

Time for Plan B…trying to push north

The weather pattern this spring has been odd. Too much wind and then nothing, and mostly from the wrong direction. Sailing our catamaran Clarity has been tough...we have been motoring far too much. Squarespace 14 day free trial: Patreon: Consulting: iTunes Podcast: Private Fb Group: Pro...
