Ep 169 Midnight Express | Kevin and Wendy | Sint Maarten to Tortola
Midnight Express: I actually hate night passages, especially when there’s no moon. This is because in the Caribbean at night, and the warm-water Atlantic Ocean south of Bermuda, squalls tend to form with a particular regularity. Absent moonlight and mod...
Ep 168 This is the Cruising Life | Passage to SXM Dutch Sint Maarten

My Oyster 485 Yacht Isn’t Selling – Come See What Buyers Are Missing
I'm going to be real with you—I hate selling things, especially when it's something as special as my Oyster 485 sailboat. After four months on the market and countless viewings, I haven't received a single offer. 😔 In this video, I invite you on an e...
Ep 165 Season Finale Island of Antigua by Drone

Ep 164 Various Drama in Simpson Bay Lagoon, Sint Maarten | Superyacht “Kisses” Kisses the Bridge
Kevin and Wendy Sailing: It seems like there's always drama in Simpson Bay Lagoon. Between the high (often katabatic) winds, generally poor anchor holding, crazy boaters, and hurricane debris under the water, there's always something interesting to going o...
Ep 163 Back in the Amazing BVIs Again | Full Moon Party Trellis Bay, Foxy’s New Year’s Eve Party

Ep 162 Exploring the Hotspots of the BVIs – Then Getting Thrown Out
I feel a bit bad about calling this episode “Exploring”. It’s really more about showing viewers what the anchorages are like and letting them know that these are areas to stop at. But I couldn’t come up with a better word, or one I liked better tha...
Ep 161 Sail and Furler Repairs Continue in the BVIs
We just can’t get past the problems with our upper swivel on the mainsail furler and the problems created by “sail repairs”. But that being the case we still try to enjoy the beauty of the British Virgin Islands, which are probably the preeminent s...
