Welcome Aboard VA! We want to finally share with you our new floating home for real. It's been a couple months since we have fully move aboard our new boat and now feel like its time to show you the whole boat.
Here is our walkthrough video of our Founta...

Although life aboard our beautiful sailboat is mostly sunsets and smiles, we still have to balance boat maintenance while sailing from anchorage to anchorage!
This episode we do enjoy some good sailing still, but are still dealing with the same water make...
We departed Las Hadas on a 130 mile overnight passage aiming for Zihuantanejo. Without much wind in the forecast, we weren't sure what to expect. Luckily the wind came through and so did the sea state! We enjoyed one of the best overnighters we've had in a...
We are truly back to the sailor life now- loving being away from the dock and living the life we always dreamt about- bouncing between anchorages, exploring life underwater, and especially meeting other cruisers to share afternoon cocktails with!!
We get...

We couldn't ask for a better first couple days back on the boat out at anchor and sailing in the Baja of Mexico. It's exactly what we wanted after spending so much time working on the dock and being away for the summer.
We sailed across to the Baja from ...
We had a troubled sail into ‘Caleta Paraíso’ (Paradise Cove), almost getting snagged into two fishing nets and meeting their owners on the way down. Despite the troubles though, Paradise Cove really lived up to its name, treating us to some of the mos...
We finally get to untie the docks lines and take our new boat out for our maiden voyage across the Baja. We have been working hard on getting the boat prepared for sailing. VA has been sitting on the dock for the last 3 months during the summer and has rec...
One thing we know for sure is how to work hard, but no doubt play & travel harder. We have just spent 3 weeks working non-stop, day in and day out since we got back down to VA.
However, it's time that we take a little break from all the boat upgrades...
We tore ourselves away from our comfortable marina slip in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico and head south, rounding Mexico’s little ‘Cape Horn’, Cabo Corrientes on the way. Despite setting ourselves up for an easy day sail and we regained our sea legs, we go...
It has been a wild summer and we have covered many miles yet again to going from Mexico to Hawaii to the West Coast of the USA and back to Mexico then Colorado and again back to Mexico. Whoa!

Warren has been working so hard on so many projects and upgrades on the boat. It's the middle of the summer in Mexico and he is installing new solar panels, re-wiring power lines, working in small tight spaces and starting to feel the heat, meanwhile I (Er...
Uh oh, that dreaded time came around fast, where we had to drive poor Bohemia into the slings and watch nervously as she was lifted 15 feet in the air and set down in the yard!
Of course, despite all of the planning we put into this for the past year plus...
WE begin to work again on the boat, well actually just Warren begins to work on the new projects and upgrades for our New Fountaine Pajot Helia 44.
We have a list of upgrades and improvements that we would like to have done on VA, many similar to the pro...
Before we get started on our 4th season of sailing, we have accumulated a lot of funny raw clips and bloopers from season 3 sailing adventures of WE.
We have captured a lot of footage and not all of it is, well good but it is gold. Here is a little glimps...
At long last, LiFePO4 (a.k.a. lithium) battery technology has caught up with Bohemia on her travels! That's right, the power struggle is nearly over! We took delivery of two new Battle Born BB8D (https://battlebornbatteries.com/product/battleborn-270ah-12v...
We start a new chapter of adventures but this time it's on a new boat. We have officially moved aboard our new 2015 Fountaine Pajot Helia sailing catamaran and begin the process of handing over the baton to the new owners of Evolias.
A lot of emotions ar...
Bohemia is a hive of activity this week, as the crew set to work cleaning corroded chainplates and bolting down the cabin sole in preparation for a future ocean crossing.
The First Mate discovered his (well-) hidden talents varnishing everything in sight,...

After a super early 2am start, we complete our journey north arriving in the scenic Punta de Mita, Banderas Bay, Mexico! The water was clear and the the sand golden, making us wonder whether we hadn't just sailed a few thousand miles in the wrong direction...
In this episode we sailed north from the beautiful, protected lagoon of Barra de Navidad, straight onto rough, confused seas as we tried to head north. Surprise, surprise, galley service was cancelled and First Mate forgot to prepare any food again! Ha ha....

Ongoing maintenance in Mazatlán. Our heat exchanger is buggered and we can't leave. Parts are non-existent in Mazatlán so we need to get creative. Sailing in Mexico can be an adventure.
We completed our daysail down into Bahia Tenacatita. After narrowly dodging the incoming shrimping fleet, the crew put in a few textbook gybes (just to prove we still can!) as we worked our way into the gorgeous 'Aquarium'.
We loved our time in The Aquari...
