How We Explored Annapolis for Little or No Money Ep80
One of our favorite things about cruising is exploring the places we visit without spending a fortune. So while we’re in Annapolis, we set out to see how much of this historic city we could experience for little or no money. First up was a self-guided walking tour of the U.S. Naval Academy. Seeing ...

We Bought $150,000 of Boat Gear for $50,000. Ep.76 #sailingcatamaran
How much can you really save by importing boat equipment directly from China? For our refit of ROAM, we decided to look beyond traditional marine suppliers and source a number of major components directly from Chinese manufacturers. The results were far more significant than we expected. For the s...
The Realities of Living at Anchor | Solving Everyday Boat Problems Ep. 75 #boatlife
Life at anchor isn't always about sailing. Sometimes it's about solving the everyday challenges that come with living aboard full-time. In this episode, we've settled into one of our favorite anchorages in Spa Creek, Annapolis, and we're tackling three very different problems—ea...
Everything Started Breaking… Welcome to Our Shakedown Cruise
We knew the first few months after leaving the boatyard would be a shakedown cruise. After rebuilding nearly every major system aboard ROAM over the last two years, we fully expected to find bugs, experience a little "infant mortality" with new components, and spend time fine-tuning every...
2 Years Later… ROAM Is Finally Back in the Water Ep. 72 #sailboatrefit
Two years ago, we hauled ROAM out of the water expecting a six-month refit. This week, we finally put her back where she belongs. Getting to splash day wasn't nearly as straightforward as we'd hoped. In fact, we were supposed to relaunch two weeks earlier—until we discovered a critical mi...
We Built Our Own Lithium Battery Bank (And It Was Way Harder Than Expected) Ep.71 #sailboatrefit
After years of planning, researching, sourcing parts, and redesigning, we're finally building one of the most important systems on ROAM: our DIY lithium house battery bank. Instead of purchasing pre-packaged marine batteries, we imported individual 2.3-volt lithium cells directly from China an...
3450W of Solar Power on Our Off-Grid Catamaran Episode 70 #sailboatrefit

Last Day??? #sailboatrefit
One thing you can count on is the boatyard changing the plan with no notice whether you're ready or not. We were supposed to splash tomorrow morning, and instead they're putting us in at 6pm with the evening high tide. We still have a lot to do, so that's not welcome news. But first, ...
2 Days and counting #sailboatrefit #cromox #anchoright
So many jobs, so little time remaining. Tomorrow we're being lifted on the trailer to put the rudders back in, so tonight is it. The last critical pieces must be done tonight. We'll sleep when we're dead! There is a ton of stuff under the boat that must be moved to make room for the t...
5 Days and Counting #sailboatrefit
One of the remaining critical projects is wiring the wiindlass controls. What should have been a 1/2 days effort took the entire day, half the night, and still didn't quite work. Some projects are more frustrating than others.
6 days and counting #sailboatrefit
We got a lot accomplished today, and it's a good thing because we're only 6 days from splashing! Shawn commissioned the Victron gear which means we have AC power! That means our appliances work! We also started to pretty up the boat before she goes back in, and after an entire day of work,...
