Wendy and I travel to Antigua, West Indies in the Eastern Caribbean to view a 1999 Moody 46. The Moody 46 is a respected bluewater offshore cruiser, and this one was very well maintained. Toward the end of the video I have a recap of the showing and our th...
We head to Antigua, West Indies for a long weekend of boat shopping. But first we take a tour of the Antigua Yacht Club marina in English Harbour, Falmouth. Superyachts were everywhere, and we couldn't help lusting after them.
We partake in the Trellis Bay full moon party. Trellis Bay is right next to the airport at Beef Island, Tortola BVI. The party was out of control. Highly recommended!
As the trade-winds settle in in the Caribbean, extra strong versions called "Christmas Trades" herald the arrival of the traditional east to west subtropical weather patterns. We got hit hard during this phase, and while it was fun, it was also hard-core.
We head to St. Thomas, USVI, get a bit tipsy on the beach the night we arrive, head over to Tortola, BVI the next day, and pick up our Jeanneau 469 (bareboat) for 10 days of epic sailing in the Caribbean.
Our trip to San Francisco included a stop to look at a 1994 Nautor Swan 46. The Swan 46 MKII (1989-1997) and 48 (1995-2002) were both German Frers designs, and featured dual aft cockpits separated by a traveler. Two separate companionways made them a uniqu...
We travel to San Francisco to look at a 1997 Grand Soleil GS 50. This is a slightly older version of the one we saw in Puerto Rico, and is a Doug Peterson design. The DP version carries the flavor of a German Frers Swan, with two separate cockpits separate...
We head to Fajardo, Puerto Rico to look at a 2004 Grand Soleil GS 50 sailboat. The 2001-2007 GS 50s are Judel/Vrolijk designed, and have naturally beautiful lines. Slight changes were made starting in 2008, and the boats were produced until 2013. A new Bot...
We know this is off the beaten track for our channel (monohull sailing), but it’s shoulder season here in Colorado and we decided to do a European river cruise with Wendy’s parents. It was a Viking River Cruise from Passau, Germany to Budepest, Hungary...

We call our bosses to say we won't be in for the afternoon and head out to the lake. The wind proves gusty, hitting 15-18 - not the strongest we've seen by far, but enough to get us get us moving along at a good clip.
Music: Underwate Love, Jerome Ismaa
Although we started off at Norman Island, we had strong winds and a whole afternoon to get somewhere, so off we went downwind to "The Indians".

Spark by ALBIS
City Groove by Jungle Punks

How to dock a sailboat when bareboating: Spend some time with us for a discussion of what to do and not do when taking a slip. This is for the potential bareboat skipper who's considering a night or two at a marina.

Cooper Island BVI to "The Dogs": We leave Cooper Island and rock upwind under close hauled sails and heavy wind to The Dogs. This episode is more virtual sailing than what we've had so far. The landlocked sailors out there will...
