Windy & Fast Passage to the Islands
You can't wait for everything to be perfect. Sometimes you gotta just go for it and make due. This time, we bash a bit but are rewarded with some seriously fast sailing. And yes, friends, we have our eyes on this whole Covid-19 thing. Very scary. Be well, friends. Pizza Dough - 2 person pizza ...

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 sailboat Makeover – low cost, major change
New cushions, new upholstery, new table, and new carpet. We could have spent a LOT of money on this, but by doing the work ourselves and looking for deals, I think we saved a lot of money! I think we saved $5000-$6000 Megan's "How to Make Good YouTube Videos" - iTunes Podcast: P...

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...
