After what feels like a zillion years of planning, researching, calculating, and generally overthinking everything, we’re ready to build an actual barn for our trimaran!
In this episode, we bring in a telehandler to stand up the huge 64-foot walls, and immediately discover our columns don’t actuall...
Wowee it has been A YEAR since we posted our last video, and we’re happy to have our next installment of the barn build to share! Finally it’s time to turn a pile of boards into something real.
In this episode, we break down how post-frame walls go together, why we decided to build them on the grou...
Welcome back to our little corner of the internet! After another unplanned hiatus (5 months — oof) we’re excited to finally share our barn build with you! This episode we finish all the groundwork in preparation to start building UP.
We’re building a barn for two reasons: 1) to store our sailboat, ...

Hellooooo!! Anyone here? We’re here, we’re here!
What a break that was — 8 months! — of near-radio silence. Why? It wasn’t intentional…
Every mo...
We decided to build a HUGE barn for our sailboat with absolutely zero construction experience. Is it…
Crazy? Maybe.
Educational? Better than school.
Cost-effective? Jury’s out.
Exciting? Never a dull moment ;D
Come watch us prepare the foundation of our 36-foot by 64-foot boat barn! There are 25 g...
It's all smooth sailing until things GO WRONG!
We had succesfully crossed the Mallacca Strait from Langkawi, sailing 270 nautical miles arriving to Sabang Indonesia as the sun was coming up. We wasted no time clearing into the country the same day and picked up anchor in the afternoon to cont...
After nearly a year of planning, we’ve arrived at DAY ONE of our barn build: excavation! Seeing the earth being moved — the first real visual progress — is pretty thrilling.
Prior to breaking ground, our discussions of the barn’s size and location have been seemingly endless. Once we made our fina...

What have we sailors been up to on land this last year? We've got quite the start to our permaculture food forest -- have a look! Last year we started with a field of grass and weeds...
After a long winter, in a barn far away all by herself, we’re bringing our boat home! It was a tricky job to fit her tall beams through the garage door, can we get her out without incident?
And… We’ve got a surprise to share with you!
Hope you enjoy!

Dreams are boundless when they exist only in our minds, that’s what makes them so beautiful. But when they collide with real life, they must conform to the laws of the universe. The reality of keeping a dream alive can be daunting. The litany of details to organize and track, the monotony of boring ...
Anyone else’s to-do list only ever seem to get longer no matter how many tasks you check off? We’ve got the answer to that: Toss that list overboard and hoist the sails 🤪
The weather is gorgeous, we’ve got swimsuits on in late September, and days like these are what this is all about. We take the t...
After the mast-stepping debacle & outboard failure in our last episode, our trimaran is now floating with her mast up and “wings” out, hurray! We enjoy our first sunset aboard, but our celebration is short-lived after discovering a leak in the hull, and coming face-to-face with how much work thi...
It’s launch day! We’re excited to splash our trimaran, but nervous as heck, too. This is our first time stepping the huge 42’ mast ourselves. We think we’ve followed all the setup instructions, but little problems start adding up — and so do the quacks.
Hope you enjoy!

What’s the best thing about having a trailerable boat so far? Working on it in OUR OWN YARD. Having access to all our tools, being able to make a mess in the boat and not worry about cleaning it up before dinner or going to bed, letting Renata run amok — it’s THE BEST.
We’re itching to launch, but...
Keeping your boat from floating away can be as simple as throwing out an anchor. But if you plan to leave the boat in the same spot for long periods of time, you might want to consider building a mooring. In this episode we walk through every part of our mooring system, from the bow of the boat down...
Where do you keep a boat that’s TWENTY-THREE feet wide?? After returning to Michigan with our new trimaran, this quickly became the biggest hurdle before getting her in the water. A doublewide slip would still be a tight fit, not to mention it would cost a fortune, and the waitlist for slips in our ...
Five years ago we bought a sailboat and left home to go cruising. Now, after buying a trailerable boat, we’re SO EXCITED to be returning home to go cruising!
Kirk flew down to Florida to scoop up a Farrier F9AX trimaran that we’d been eyeing for months. With the sale complete, he’s about to trailer...
WE FOUND OUR TRIMARAN! After 3 years of searching, we knew just what we were looking for. How did we know this was THE one?
Join us on our whirlwind trip to get our new boat!
Hope you enjoy!

We’re on the hunt for our next boat! We’re looking for a trimaran that’s big enough to live on for several weeks to a month+ at a time, but still small enough to trailer. It’s been tough — if not impossible! — to find. So far most of the boats we’ve seen have been too small in one dimension or anoth...
For the past 3+ years we’ve been secretly on the hunt for our next boat. Last episode we talked about what kind of boat we’re looking for — a trailerable trimaran! — and why we think it’s the best next boat for us. (Want to see it? ) In this ep we take you time traveling to tour three different tri...
What kind of boat we’ve been secretly dreaming about for the last 3+ years?
Living, traveling and working on our monohull gave us a lot of insight into what we did and did not like about our first boat and our cruising lifestyle. Because we value spending time with our families in the Midwest, we h...
