Welcome back to Sailing UV ⛵🔥
(aka… the greatest sailing show on Earth)
If you're new here — I’m Jonathan, that’s Violet 🐶 (115 lbs of chaos), and we’re restoring this boat while working full-time and trying to build a life that actually makes sense.
This week is a little more real life than ...
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,...
But beyond the highlights, this episode is about something deeper — what it actually feels like to live this life, move from place to place, and experience the world together as a family.
This is what we traded everything for.

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. But from there… things start to unravel.
We anchor in La Parguera hoping to experience the famous biolumines...
Welcome back to Sailing UV ⛵🔥
(aka the greatest sailing show on Earth… obviously)
If you're new here — I’m Jonathan, this is Violet 🐶, and we’re slowly bringing this boat back to life while working full-time and figuring it out as we go.
This week’s episode is a mix of:
🌬️ Windy days on the ...
Installed nothing. Fixed nothing. Just sat down and answered your questions as honestly as possible.
In September 2026 I will begin a 30,000 mile solo nonstop circumnavigation of the planet aboard my 1998 Pacific Seacraft 40, "Phoenix do Mar", meaning Phoenix of the Sea in Portuguese. Dep...
We left everything behind to cross the Pacific Ocean with our kids.
After weeks of waiting in Panama, we finally set sail — but the reality of life offshore hit fast. From losing wind and navigating shifting conditions, to gear failures and constant decision-making, this passage tested us in ways we...
This one cabinet will eventually power our entire catamaran.
Last episode we installed our two Victron MultiPlus II units, officially kicking off the installation of our electrical system. Now we’re moving on to the cabinet where all of our breakers will live — the place that will ultimately distri...
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,...
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...
We finally left Panama and started our journey toward the Galápagos… but it didn’t happen the way we planned.
After weeks of waiting on visas, everything came down to a narrow window to check out of the country and begin our Pacific crossing. What should have been a straightforward departure quickly...
After months of life in Luperón, Dominican Republic, it was finally time to move on… and take on one of the Caribbean’s most notorious crossings — the Mona Passage.
We set sail for Puerto Rico on a 47-hour, 245 nautical mile passage, pushing through a double overnight sail with little sleep and sea...
🌲 This might be one of the most beautiful hidden spots we’ve ever found…
Welcome back to Sailing UV — the greatest sailing show on Earth. ⛵
This week, Violet and I take a break from the chaos of boat work and head out on a hike through what turned out to be an absolute hidden gem.
We’re talking:

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 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...
We’re ready to cross the Pacific… but we can’t leave.
Right now we’re stuck in Panama, anchored in a relentless rolly anchorage, waiting on one thing: the kids’ visas. It’s the final hurdle keeping us from pointing the bow west—and every day we sit here, the pressure builds.
But we’re not wasting t...

For the first time in months, Big Lost is finally ready.
The projects are finished. The boat is provisioned. Everything we’ve been working toward is complete. But instead of leaving Panama and beginning our Pacific crossing, we find ourselves doing something we didn’t expect…
Waiting.

In this week’s episode I come home from work excited for one simple luxury… a hot shower.

We’re getting ready to sail from the UK to Europe as Magnus sits his CEVNI exam, tackles wiring breakthroughs and sorts out last‑minute boat jobs on Little Nutshell. A storm rolls in while we wait on lithium batteries and solar panels before our North Sea crossing.

This week on Escapade, we finally tackled a job we’ve known was coming.
Part of our saloon has had water damage and rotten wood for a while — and although it would have been easy to patch over it, we knew that wasn’t good enough. If we’re preparing this boat for the Pacific, we want it solid.
