Sailing is often a mixed bag of calculated decisions, planning, unforeseen circumstances and blind luck. And sometimes, no matter how much you prepare, your gut is what you rely on the most.

The shipyard period continues as we have the sail drive torn completely apart and siting on the bench, leaving a 1ft hole in the bottom of the boat.We have a cracked flange, which I don't want to just weld as it stops the ocean from pouring into the engine room, so we send Jamie to San Diego to...

We have been struck by lightning for the second time in 2 years. Costa Rica is renown for its lighting in wet season, and sure enough, 3 boats got struck on this fateful night. The first time we got struck was in Panama 2 wet seasons ago, so the boat has had its fair share of bad luck, including bul...

We set the spinnaker and really get our tiny home at sea rolling. We find a huge convergence zone filled with squalls, storms, and lightning. The weather models have no consensus. This isn't going to be an easy night!

It seems that a lightning strike is to blame and I am needing to inspect the keel bolts to ensure there...
