Under attack!! Thunderstorms and flies oh my!

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.

Shipwreck! Staying Ahead of the Storm

We tried to be patient, but ended up ducking a storm anyway. Weather windows can be fickle this time of year, but the difference between a good passage and a bad passage is the weather.

Catamaran vs Monohull – A comprehensive review from owners of both

Part 2 right here: A debate as old as time itself! Which is better, a catamaran or a monohull? I'll give away the answer here: like all boats, both are a compromise. However, they each are better for different missions. In fact while we love our Leopard 46, we will own monohulls in the futur...

Life Raft Test!

Mis-matched paperwork from Moorings left us feeling like we may have been duped, and we had very little confidence in our Plastimo offshore liferaft. So, we put it in the pool and (tried to) pull the rip cord. Good thing we did because this raft may not have saved lives! Also, we are still trying t...
