This year we're NOT heading to GRENADA. Instead we're pointed to PUERTO RICO, which is of course very much in the HURRICANE BELT. WHY? you may ask? Well, we know IT'S A RISK. but it's a calculated one and we definitely have our reasons. This week we ex...
POP! After tons of swell and the puffs hitting us from the side, the dyneema just couldn't take any more.
We also go hunting for our own dinner and Curtis and I hook up our third reef and inner forestay and take Sweet Ruca for a whirl in the crystal clear...
This is part 4 of our Catamaran transom extension series on our Lagoon 450. Things get difficult as we have to take a mold of our friends catamaran which he had already sold! The danger of doing this is that if it goes wrong, gel coat can get stuck to the ...

This is it. This is the most beautiful yacht that I've been aboard thus far in my 30 years of existence.
Marjorie is a serious spirit of tradition cruising boat that also boasts an impressive turn of speed. She has carbon spars, custom all-bronze hardware...
We discover a FLOATING TREASURE! But FINDERS KEEPERS is NOT the way in the cruising world. We believe BOAT KARMA is a real thing...or at least it's nice to think it is. Out here so many things can go wrong on a regular basis...sometimes all we cruisers ...
When we first started sailing we had a REALLY hard time dialing in our sailboat, learning to communicate effectively, and figuring out how to rely on ourselves, and not feel like complete idiots with each new challenge. We wondered when we were going to ge...
Life is full of DETOURS and sailing life even more so. Some are as small as getting lost walking to a destination, others are as big as changing the entire course of your journey. Learning how to navigate these detours is the SECRET to a happy life aboar...

It's NOT THAT SIMPLE anymore. With OUTBREAKS still taking hold among the UNVACCINATED on the islands, traveling between islands is still very complicated. But the vaccines ARE HERE. We just have to figure out how to get one as complete foreigners most ev...
This week we continue our sail north to Maine. We transit the Cape Cod canal at a whopping 10 knots, and Desiree has a heck of a time steering the boat, then nigh falls and Gio experiences her first night watch, and finally we’re thrown into the middle o...
EVERY Boat Expense IN DETAIL after 2 FULL YEARS of CARIBBEAN CRUISING. Since leaving the US, we've definitely had our share of issues, maintenance and upgrades. Once we hit Antigua and St. Martin (right about the 2 year mark for us), we suddenly had acce...
We leave our boat for the first time in two years. What have we gotten ourselves into? This video is a little more raw and real than usual.

The Hudson Force 50 is full-keeled, heavy displacement bluewater cruiser built to go anywhere. This particular boat is a bit weird in that it's been converted to an unstayed, junk-rigged, cat ketch to be used as a motor sailor.
I think it's likely a great...
Some expenses are SO ESSENTIAL that without them YOU'RE DONE. Or at the very least you're LIMPING ALONG and SACRIFICING SAFETY. Well one of those expenses has been dogging us for months and getting worse every time we're called on to use it. A windlass ...

This week we navigate a tricky channel, dodge a bunch of boat traffic, and finally sail into Martha’s Vinyard to sightsee and pick up Desiree’s sister, Gio, who will be joining us for a couple of weeks to help us on our passage up to Maine. Jordan has ...
This life can be HARD. But we don't let WORK RULE. The FUN SIDE of CRUISING is what we're all about this week. Often the GOOD TIMES roll in as a TIDAL WAVE right in the midst of a swamp of boat projects and tedium. When these opportunities arrive, ESPEC...
It's HURRICANE season in the Caribbean and tropical storms and waves can become part of the every day. We find a suitable weather window that wicks up some amazing sailing to a brand new PARADISE. It's not hurricane Elsa, but we doublehand our racer/cruise...
