We Left Everything Behind… Was It Worth It?
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...
Hours Before We Left… This Happened
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...
We Survived the MONA PASSAGE (47hrs Nonstop Sail to Puerto Rico) E376
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...
Be The Captain — Chapter One: Think Like a Captain (Audiobook)
This is the introduction and first chapter of the Be The Captain audiobook, read by the author. Chapter 1 is called Think Like a Captain. It's not about sailing techniques or gear. It's about command, and the mindset that separates people who make good decisions offshore from people who d...
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...
The Night I Almost Lost the Keel (and Why I Quit Deliveries)
In 2014, I delivered a Beneteau First 47.7 from the Bahamas to Cartagena. Somewhere in the Caribbean, 150 miles offshore, I found myself ankle-deep in water, crew vacuuming the bilge in the dark, batteries dead, no GPS, no autopilot. I didn't know at the time how close we were to losing the kee...
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...

Phoenix Do Mar Is Born
They say renaming a boat is bad luck… I did it anyway. Turns out the real danger was hiding inside the rudder. 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 Portu...
We’re Ready to Cross the Pacific… But We Can’t Leave
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.

Drive Shaft & Feathering Prop Upgrade
This week I’m rebuilding my entire drive shaft system: all new feathering prop, cutlass bearing, dripless shaft seal, shaft saver, and coupling. Feels good to finally be putting things back on the boat instead of ripping them off… but there’s a catch. I have absolutely no way of knowing if any of th...
My Rudder FAILED in the Pacific… So I Tore it Apart
After experiencing total rudder failure in the Pacific, I’m tearing apart the entire steering system on my new boat before attempting a solo nonstop circumnavigation. If this fails again in the Southern Ocean… it's game over. In September 2026 I will begin a 30,000 mile solo nonstop circumnavi...

Why I’ll Never Trust a “Performance” Boat Again | Sailing Truth Show
