Ep. 40 OMG We quit our jobs, sold our house, sold our Catalina 22 and now looking for a live aboard life on a catamaran!
#catalina22
We have officially gone into mid life crisis mode !
Also, today, August 2nd, 2021, Claudine turns 50 years old !!!
ASA classes aboard a catamaran ~ Miami Day...
This gorgeous sail in the blue water of the Atlantic was one for the books, despite Kirk doing lots of fishing and no catching, and Lauren almost losing her breakfast. Join us as we sail fifty miles south against the Gulf Stream along the east coast of Florida.
This was our favorite sailing day of ...
Tough question to answer isn’t it? We get to ponder this while several storm systems hand out lightning bolts and wind gusts aplenty in this episode!
If bad weather is on the horizon, our instinct is to find a safe anchorage and hole up while it blows over. This is usually the prudent option; altho...
What would you do if it seemed like the world was ending? Would panic set in as you began thinking about all the things you didn’t do, the places you didn’t go, or the relationships you didn’t spend enough time nurturing? Or would you carry on living your life as you are, because you’re living with ...
“There’s good news and bad news.” When someone says that, is it ever really good? 😂
On our way south down the east coast of Florida, we stop in Stuart to have a professional rigger from Mack Sails take a look over our standing rigging. We had a bunch of questions:
1) After being hit by lightning t...
Time travel with us in this episode to NOW! -- April 2021 -- for a real-time update, and to meet our lil' babe, Renata!
Many folks warned us that being parents is one of the most difficult and rewarding experiences they’ve had in their lives. Because we seem to enjoy doing everything the hard...
Food management of a Sailing Boat is crucial. Our first experience was sailing off grid to the South Pacific with 6 months worth of food. So we had to be on top of it every day. We learnt by doing, checking tricks on internet and with our own experience. And this are the tips we have for you today a...
The boat is afloat, and we are on our way south! Just because we left the yard though doesn’t mean the boat work is finished. Duh. We still need to tune the rig, bend on the sails and climb the mast to attach the instruments. There’s a bunch of plumbing that needs attention and a manual bilge pump w...
We’re makin’ moves. The mast goes up, the engine gets a checkup, as does the rudder assembly. It’s time to get the boat back in the water — after we figure out how to finagle the centerboard back into its trunk.
But that’s not all... Big changes are on the horizon.
Much love,
Lauren & Kirk

Maintaining a 40-year-old sailboat can be mentally draining. To be successful, not only do you need be a good electrician, diesel mechanic, plumber, seamstress, cook, project manager and sailor, it also doesn’t hurt to be a good bartender.
We tackle a pile of projects in the episode, including rein...
It seems ridiculous, but it’s the reason we worry so much about our boat. It’s the reason we agonize over every little decision about maintenance and upgrades. Our boat is too nice.
When we bought our boat, the surveyor declared it to be in Bristol condition. A 38 year-old boat! The previous owner...
It’s tempting to think we’re cursed. After our boat was struck by lighting, we thought Mother Nature might go easy on us for a while. No such luck.
After leaving the boat on the hard in Florida, we drove up to the Midwest to put some miles between us and the hurricane season threatening the Atlanti...
If lightning hits your boat, hope Zeus taps it lightly, like he did Soulianis. After a thunderstorm rolled through St Augustine, Florida, we weren’t even sure if we’d been hit. But the over the next couple of days, we discovered more and more electronics no longer working, and our VHF antenna had be...
*** This is Part 2 of 2! Watch Part 1 here: ***
Just as we’re about to tuck Soulianis away for the summer season, our good fortune with Mother Nature runs out. Did we really expect to get through of all of these storms scot free?
One afternoon while floating on our mooring ball in St Augustine, a...
We’re back in the US of A! After arriving in New Smyrna Beach, we make our way north on the ICW to St. Augustine, then hop on bicycles to explore the nation’s oldest city.
It’s storm season in Florida, where small but fierce thunderstorms are whipped up almost every afternoon. When the dark clouds ...
Sailing the blue waters of Eleuthera, we party with the locals, find an uncharted blue hole, free dive with sharks, and find a problem with our engine we must fix before we can continue on our voyage through the Bahamas and on to the Caribbean.

The weather is changing, and the longer we wait to leave the islands, the smaller the chances become for finding a good weather window. After three weeks of dodging storm front after storm front, we decide to make a dash for it, leaving the Abaco Islands of The Bahamas to cross the Gulf Stream back ...
We try to outrun a storm by sailing 200 miles in 24 hours. Can we make it? The weather window is about to slam shut...HARD!!!! We sail from Miami, across the gulf stream again, towards Eleuthera, in the Bahamas to spend Christmas in the Caribbean.

When we decided to abort mission on crewing the big motor yacht, we knew that we were going to deal with a HUGE mess.
But because we were looking at potentially way more trouble at sea, we chose the mess on land.
In this week’s video, we deal with the aftermath of choosing to not crew on the m...
Come along on a POV journey to single-handedly sail Soulianis off anchor. Since the engine wasn’t started, Kirk forgot to check on the dinghy painter—and it all goes downhill from there.
Normally we have our specific roles and routines; but the change of pace and lack of a second pair of eyes on th...
Crystal clear water surrounds the islands in the Bahamas, but you can’t drink a lick of it. No surprise, it’s salty. The islands themselves have virtually no groundwater either, so where does it come from? There’s three options: It’s either shipped in, desalinated, or collected from the sky.
Withou...
Sometimes it’s nigh impossible to craft the perfect video title. After our struggle with last episode’s title, we think we nailed it with this one. Let us know what you think. ;D
Storms threaten, and a dragging anchor one evening puts us on edge. The next night we mix up a drink fitting the mood to...
We’ve arrived at idyllic Elbow Cay, a Bahamian island with a little bit of everything: an adorable little town, a handful of surf breaks, showers, a coffee house, one nicely paved road, rum cocktails, and even a game of bingo.
Of all these things, surf breaks have been the hardest to find. Finding ...
What do you eat when you live on a boat, but you are terrible at fishing? In this episode we share a bunch of recipes we make onboard.
We cook Veggie Tikka Masala, make Spring Rolls, whip up Brunch Bowls, and throw together what we call the Snack Plate — a cutting board full of fresh fruit, raw veg...
