Letting Air In & Keeping Thieves Out – Hopefully (MJ Sailing – EP 37)
Good airflow in a boat is very important. But then again, so is keeping people out while you're away, and in some areas, while you're sleeping at night. Almost from day one our rebuild, we knew the current companionway door situation was not ideal, and we wanted to make an option where w...
Our Bank Account After 5 Years of Cruising & a Refit (MJ Sailing – EP 36)
A big question for cruisers out on the water is 'How do you afford to do this'. We've gone over in previous videos on how we saved up our money to get out of the rat race, but now that we've been out for 5 years, the next question is, 'Where has that money gone?'. I...
Everybody Poops – An Update on Our Composting Head (MJ Sailing – EP 35)
We've been getting lots of questions over the past few months on how our composting head is working out for us, so after a lot of use and a few modifications, we share how it has been working out for us. WARNING: If you do not like a lot of talking or projects being explained, this is not the...
Reflecting on the Storm (MJ Sailing – EP 34)
As Hurricane Irma bears down on Florida, we watch the marina become a ghost town and prepare ourselves for the worst while hoping for the best. With not much to do the day before the storm, we hang around the patio and take in all the news reports we can handle until we're sick of the news and...
Batten the Hatches, Irma Is On Her Way (MJ Sailing – EP 33)
We get back from our shakedown cruise, ready to bury ourselves in boat work...only to find there's a hurricane headed our way! Every day we'd watch the news in anticipation to see how Irma would impact us. From just a blip on the radar to threatening to roll right over us, we had a lot o...
Death by Bridges & Making Our Way Home (MJ Sailing – EP 32)
As all good things must come to an end, so must our shakedown cruise. It was hard to tear ourselves away from one of our new favorite spots on the east side of Peanut Island, but we knew there was still a lot of boat work to be completed before hurricane season finishes, and it would be fastest and...
Testing Our Sea Breathe Hookah and Snorkeling Peanut Island (MJ Sailinig – EP 31)
Continuing our stay next to Peanut Island in the Palm Beach area, we decide to spend as much time as we can in the water. Having received a snorkeling hookah from one of our viewers, we've finally found a place to test it out as Matt goes in the water to clean away 'the Inidiantown funk&#...
Update: Aftermath of Irma in Indiantown, Florida
We have made it through Hurricane Irma, and so has Elements of Life! Indiantown fared quite well through the storm, as far as we can tell there is no damage to any of the boats in the water or in the work yard and storage (except one shredded head sail). Matt and I stayed on the boat through the s...
Update: Prepping our Boat for Hurricane Irma in South Florida
Don't be too worried, we are not out cruising right now, we are safe and tucked away back home at Indiantown Marina. Having been back one week now from our shakedown, we've been given plenty of notice that Irma is headed our way, and we are doing everything we can to prepare ourselves and...
From the Boat Graveyard to Sailing Once Again (MJ Sailing – EP 30)
We're sailing!!!! At long last!!! Who would have guess that once again our original plans did not work out as intended, and our sailing was pushed back one more day. No problem though, as we found a perfect spot to anchor next to Peanut Island and the Palm Beach inlet. Between our first few...
SAIL FAIL, SWIM FAIL (MJ Sailing – EP 29)
We're off and running on our little shakedown cruise, but as we should have known, things don't always go according to plan. After running around Stuart to make sure we have all the necessary oil and discharge stickers, we begin to make our way south on the St. Lucie River with visions of...
Casting Off Our Dock Lines After a 2 Year Refit (MJ Sailing – EP 28)
After two long years in the work yard and additional two months in the water, and we're ready to toss off our dock lines! We aren't headed out for good, but we are more than ready for a shakedown cruise to see how systems are working, what still needs to be addressed before we can shove o...
Our New (Almost) Pocket Size Drone! (MJ Sailing – EP 27)
We have now joined the ranks of sailors with the ability to shoot beautiful aerial views! Deviating from the usual course once again, the drone we chose to purchase is the DJI Mavic Pro instead of the very popular Phantom 4. The Mavic Pro, when it is folded down it can just about fit in the size o...
Building Our Own Custom Stack Pack (MJ Sailing – EP 26)
There's nothing for me to sand or paint right now, so it must be time to sew! Two big items we need done before leaving the marina are making a new mainsail cover and an awning for the cockpit. Tackling the hardest one first, I went with the sail cover. Since we were starting from scratch an...
Our Composting Head & Swag Giveaway (MJ Sailing – EP 25)
Just to be a little bit different *again* we've set up our new boat so the head has a composting toilet. There are a few reasons for this decision that you'll hear Matt discuss in the video. I take on a job of adding scuff resistant tape to the slider of our companionway, since our brand...
Our Thoughts on Going Bare (MJ Sailing – EP 24)
'Why aren't you going to paint your hull?' 'If you're going to leave it bare, you should at least shine it up'. 'You're in for a ton of corrosion if you leave your hull bare'. These are just a sample of the questions and comments we've been gettin...
Nearing the End of Our 812 Days In the Work Yard (MJ Sailing – EP 21)
We're so close to getting in the water, and yet still so far. It's been a hectic time for us as we try to finish all the last projects before splashing. With our centerboard dropped we had the well soda blasted (even though I accidentally say sandblasted about 5 times), which gives Matt ...
A Bit of This and That .. aka .. Are We Almost Done? (MJ Sailing – EP 19)
We may not always get to work on what projects we want *when* we want, but there is always something to be done on this boat. My Awl Grip top coats have been halted due to extreme heat, but we still have plenty to keep ourselves busy! After receiving our rudder back with a new welded posts and so...
Matt’s Odd Jobs & A Tour of the Interior ( MJ Sailing – EP 18)
There's no new paint to show off this week as the sanding is taking me *forever*, so instead I decided to follow Matt around to see what keeps him busy everyday while I work on the cabin top. Also, there's a long awaited tour of our interior for you to see. As we clean up the boat to sho...
Getting the Mast Up – We’re a Sailboat Again! (MJ Sailing – EP 17)
After 10 months of waiting and one failed attempt, our mast is finally back up again! Back in Episode 9 you'll see that we tried to raise our mast, but the new rigging we ordered was not the right size, and we had to bring it back to have it redone. A few month and one weird encounter later, ...
Behind the Scenes: Our Life on the Hard (MJ Sailing – EP 16)
Ever wonder what we do with our lives while we're not busy with boat projects? In this video we give you a look at a few of the things we do when the cameras are normally off, like trying to find the best shower stall at the end of a workday, cooking dinner in our galley, and enjoying a beauti...
We’ve Got a Hurricane Headed Our Way (EP 2 – MJ Sailing)
We prepare our boat for Hurricane Matthew, and watch the chaos around the marina as others prepare as well. After the storm has left and we can get back to boat work, we go to work on adding maple to our cabin sole. Then we finish up with a Q&A of some of the most commonly asked questions from ...
