We TORE Up Our DECK to Install SYNTHETIC TEAK… Ep-212
We just completed one of the biggest transformations we’ve ever taken on… a full synthetic teak deck refit.

S1E46. Nothing Goes As Planned… But We Fixed a MAJOR Boat Leak!
This week on Sailing UV… nothing goes according to plan 😅 We bounce between projects, start things we don’t finish (classic), and somehow still manage to make serious progress on the boat.

We Found the BRIGHTEST Bioluminescent Bay on Earth! Vieques (Family Sailing Caribbean) E378
Not every stop is planned… and sometimes those are the best ones. We dropped anchor in Puerto Patillas, Puerto Rico and were blown away. A peaceful anchorage, a waterfront park with a playground (perfect for homeschooling days), live music, and even iguanas roaming around—it quickly became one of t...
ESCAPING Preveza: Our First Night at Anchor
We finally escaped Preveza town quay and reached our first anchorage — and it felt like cruising heaven after all the noise, hassle, and dock chaos. A few nights at anchor were pure bliss: no lines to adjust, no quay drama, just peace, floating, and the kind of silence that reminds you why you came...
We Shouldn’t Have Sailed to the Bahamas… But We Did Anyway | Sailing Sunday Vlog 306
We shouldn’t have left when we did… but we sailed anyway. In this episode of Sailing Sunday, we sail to the Bahamas on a 3-day ocean passage after rushing across the USA to get back to our boat. With almost no sleep, we left the dock and crossed toward the Bahamas, dealing with rough seas, bad timi...

This Could’ve Brought Our Mast Down… So We Fixed It! Ep-211
We finally took on one of the biggest and most important upgrades you can do on a sailboat… replacing all of our standing rigging. With our rigging over 14 years old and a Pacific crossing ahead of us, this wasn’t something we were willing to risk pushing any further. Even with regular inspections,...
3 Fails in 3 Days… Puerto Rico Didn’t Go As Planned E377
Not every sailing day goes to plan… and this one REALLY didn’t 😅 We kick things off with a beautiful, calm sail past Cabo Rojo Lighthouse—one of the most stunning coastlines in Puerto Rico.

I Answered 50 of Your Questions

Installing A High Output Alternator ⚡️
I’ve rewired the boat, installed a new alternator, and made about 100 questionable decisions during the refit. If the engine starts and the boat floats… it will be a miracle. In September 2026 I will begin a 30,000 mile solo nonstop circumnavigation of the planet aboard my 1998 Pacific Seacraft 40,...
BOAT UPGRADE – The Most Affordable High-Output Water-maker? (40 GPH)
This week on Escapade, we install one of the biggest upgrades we’ve been looking forward to… a brand new watermaker. We already had a watermaker onboard, but it was old, clunky, and increasingly unreliable — not exactly what you want when you’re preparing to head out into the Pacific. If we’re goin...

Got a New Fuel Tank and Almost Killed My Van
Installed a brand new secondary fuel tank to increase my diesel capacity for the nonstop circumnavigation. It felt like a big step forward, until I realised I’d been driving my van with no oil for a week. Bone dry. Turns out I can only manage one machine at a time. #VanLife In September 2026 I will...
This Was Our Toughest Hike (Isabel de Torres) + Our Final Luperón Days
This one tested us 😅 We took on the steep and slippery climb up Isabel de Torres in Puerto Plata—and it was no joke. Muddy trails, sketchy footing, and a serious leg burn… but the view at the top made every step worth it. Sitting above the city with a mini botanical garden and that iconic statue, i...
