This week we're enjoying our canal boat life in the town of Beziérs on the Canal du Midi. The French canals are definitely living up to our expectations as we wander historic, medieval towns, admire the amazing scenery and stumble across a beer and food f...
This is the BEST part about van life. This is why we spent 6 months converting our campervan into a tiny home we could live in. This is why we drove all this way, to Greece... it was all to climb THIS mountain - the mountain of the Gods! To park at the tra...
When you're living in a van things can quickly pile up and get out of control, cause, you know, life... So today we tackle our to-do list and try and complete all those things we've been meaning to do for months now. What's one item that's been on your to-...
How did we turn our sailing yacht into a canal boat for our journey through the french canals? This week we demonstrate the process of preparing our Southerly 38 for the french canals. We had to build a frame for transporting the mast, take down the boom, ...
As a frugal sailor, I like to save money where I can, but what should you buy new and what can you save on by buying used? Also, I talk about why we are getting rid of our wind generator and adding more solar to the boat. CHANGE OF PLANS....instead of sel...
Our battery mysteriously died right as we got our van onto the Greek island of Tinos, hundreds of miles from the closest hardware store. To be honest this is a pretty typical van life day in the life for us, there's always a little problem here or there, a...
Not every day in the van is a crazy adventure! Sometimes we just want to enjoy a good book on the beach and eat yummy food. This is our third video in our new Van Life Day in the Life series and it really captures my sleepiness after traveling back from Am...
This review we look at the hugely popular Leopard 45 catamaran. What would we think of this South African liveaboard cruiser? We viewed the boat at La Grande Motte and it is simply our opinion of the boat. It does not in any way constitute a professional o...
Ride along as we take a very shallow route into the inner anchorage at Double Breasted Cays, Abacos, Bahamas. You'll see how seagrass can be deceiving and the way currents grab Clarity and push her toward a sand bank. But all the stress....it is worth it! ...

We backtrack to Marsh Harbor via a questionable shallow short-cut to meet up with our rigger to fix our bent cap shroud. By chance we cross paths with our South African friends aboard Top Secret, the most amazing charter boat to private yacht conversion we...

The moment has arrived that we are installing solar panels on our small sailboat for off grid living. We chose four 100W semi-flexible solar panels with an mppt charge controller to provide us with power when away from marinas.
