Ep 173 Kevin & Wendy | Rough Sail to St Croix
Kevin & Wendy Rough Sail to St Croix In this episode we make the hop from St Thomas, USVI to St Croix, a passage of about 34nm due south. As has happened previously, the wind speeds turn to sustained 30 knots. We end up with at least two failures, which seems par for the course. But overall, a...
What a Full Day on Passage REALLY Looks Like | VLOG 285 4K
We’re finally back at sea! After months on land, we’re setting sail from Georgia and making our way to the Bahamas — this time as a family of four. With our 7-month-old baby and dog onboard, we navigate a mix of the Intracoastal Waterway and offshore passages, adapting our route with the weather as ...

Ep 172 More Sailing Adventures in the BVI | Kevin & Wendy
More Sailing Adventures in the BVIs: Please forgive us if the dates are a bit disjointed. We were using 3x Apple iPhone 14 Pro phones and 5x GoPro action cameras (luckily no drone footage added to the mix), and this meant that this episode is the cleanup of our BVI stint. But to be honest, althoug...
Ep 171 The BVIs Never Disappoint | Cooper, Norman, Jost Van Dyke | Kevin & Wendy
The BVIs Never Disappoint Cooper, Norman, Jost Van Dyke In this episode we’re still kicking around the British Virgin Island chain. Not much to say other than what's in the title; Cooper Island, Norman Island, Jost Van Dyke. Tons of fun as always. sailing yacht tal...
Ep 170 Is This the Most Popular Cruising Ground in the World? | Kevin & Wendy
Is This the Most Popular Cruising Ground in the World?: I did some internet searching and the results were inconclusive. Google’s AI reported Croatia as being the most popular, but the source was a single Croatian charter company. And while we sailed the Mediterranean (Adriatic Sea included) for th...
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 modern doppler radar, these often-violent squalls...
Ep 168 This is the Cruising Life | Passage to SXM Dutch Sint Maarten
This is the Cruising Life! In Episode 168, We finally get prepared enough to begin our cruising season. The shakedown portion was a simple motor-sail from Jolly Harbour to Falmouth harbour, both in Antigua, followed by a couple of weeks at anchor and quick stop at the Catamaran Marina (also in Falm...

Ep 167 Kevin & Wendy | Boat Projects in Antigua Part II
Boat Projects in Paradise Part II: In Episode 167, we continue to crank through the various boat projects. We’re in the water now, but that just means a different sort of prep. Projects highlighted in this episode: Bad battery Getting hoisted to the masthead New Elvstrom sails Upper mainsail in-ma...
Ep 166 Kevin and Wendy | 2025 Season Opener Upgrades and Launch in Antigua, W.I.
2025 Season Opener: In Episode 166, our 2025 season opener, we cover just a small sample of the various projects required to get the boat on the water. This follows from breaking a lot of stuff the previous season, and needing parts and research to get them sorted. Projects highlighted in this epi...
Ep 165 Season Finale Island of Antigua by Drone
Antigua by Drone: In Episode 165, our season finale, we go for something completely new. It’s a whirlwind of nothing but aerial footage (with all new music) of Falmouth Harbour and English Harbour, two of the preeminent cruiser-friendly anchorages in the Caribbean. Superyachts and high-end recreati...
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 on. You hope that it won't inv...
Ep 163 Back in the Amazing BVIs Again | Full Moon Party Trellis Bay, Foxy’s New Year’s Eve Party
Following our leaving for the USVI’s after being disappointed by the BVI’s ridiculous 30-day tourist visa rules, we return knowing that the officious behavior is simply the gatekeeping, and we know from long experience that these challenges are rarely, if ever, representative of the greater populati...
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 that didn’t introduce complexity. Anyway, we have more ...
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 sailing, cruising, and charter grounds in the world...
Ep 160 Cursed Projects Part II | Tortola and Scrub Island, BVI
In this episode we make the hop from Sint Maarten to the British Virgin Islands without fully completing the projects we were working on. And, of course more crop up. And things go from mere nuisance to much bigger problems when our mainsail starts jamming so brutally that it actually breaks the a...
Ep 159 Am I Cursed With My Boat Projects? Frustration in Sint Maarten
The cruising life is full of challenges, and truth be told, it would lessen the enjoyment were it not for both the failures and the successes. And there are times when you almost want to give up, but you can’t. These are necessary and important tasks that must be seen through to completion. Should...
Ep 158 Boat Projects, Launching Talisman, Perfect Passage from Antigua to Sint Maarten
This episode isn't too complicated. We prep the boat for launch with a long list of projects to complete. We ride out a Cat 1 hurricane (Tammy), then it's back to work. Our new drone gives us some impressive footage as I learn to fly it. It's a new DJI Mini 3, and it's smaller an...
Ep 157 Docking Challenges in Antigua, W.I.
For this episode we present a somewhat simple docking challenge, but one that is seen frequently and has been know to put skippers on edge. After all, you never want to scuff up another boat. sailing yacht talisman, sailing, sailing youtube, boating, top sailing, oyster yac...
Salt & Tar: Ep.283- La Cruz-ing
For the upcoming PatronsOnly update: What an inspiring group of people and place we've been fortunate to be a part of! La Cruz is unique. I really hope you enjoy the glimpse into life here and the sailing community. Thanks for watching! p.s. I try and reply to as many comments as I can but...
Ep 156 High Wind Docking, Oyster Regatta, Sail to Guadeloupe
This is a bit of a mashup of footage we took while at our home base of Antigua, W.I. Starting with a rather pedestrian 2 mile motor-sail from Falmouth Harbour over to Nelson’s Dockyard, we find ourselves entering the land of clustered superyachts that almost defines the location. Falmouth and Nelson...
Ep 155 LifePo4 Lithium Marine Battery Install | One Year Debrief
EXPENSIVE MISCALCULATION As longtime viewers will know, the point of this channel has never been to shine a favorable light on ourselves. Instead, we're brutally honest when it comes to admitting our fails. And despite all efforts to be the “no drama” channel, things rarely go perfectly for ver...
